I want to load my atv in the bed instead of pulling a trailer. My atv is 700lbs. I know my ramps will hold the weight but I'm worried the cables holding the tailgate might snap. Anyone know the tailgate capacity?

 

Don't know the capacity but we load ours into the bed all the time and it sits fine

 

Not a problem, this was my old 04 2WD.

 

Inspect your cables. If they are in poor condition I wouldn't advise it

 

I've had nearly 1k pounds of bagged concrete on the tailgate of my 07 and it done just fine. It holds my 800lb ATV and my dirtbike with no issues!

 

You could also lay a sheet of plywood in the bed to distribute the weight

 

At work I set 2000 pound pallets of feed in the back of trucks and I've gotta set it half on the tailgate then slide it ahead and I've noticed no problems and I've seem some pretty beat up trucks

 

no fat guys on tailgate jokes? for shame people! lol


and you can get cable supports / bigger cables if your worried about it. ive had motorcycles to 4 wheelers to heavy *** furniture on my tailgate and been fine though.

 

Should be good... If your cables look beat i'd swap em out.

My sister set on my tailgate the other day, You are good to go :cheers:

 

Lets see 3 Fat chicks @ 350lbs ea = 1050... your golden !!
