I'm no engineer here, just extremely lazy so I spend great efforts trying to figure out how not to work hard....this usually results in my also sleeping in my truck.

Had a crew cab nissan Titan and one night him and his school buddies went up into the mountains one night and cut down a proper christmas tree. Proper as in about 25' long or so! Put the base in bed up against tailgate and rested the tree on the cab where the third brake light is. The rest just kinda pointed up in the air lol

It was the christmas tree used in their dorm room lobby or whatever. Girl panties were the primary decoration.

While not my personal story - it does make me miss being young and enjoying life! Now we're adults and.. you know - "responsibility". Eh.

C'mon OP, 500 lbs? Large upright pianos weigh about that.

Also, your tailgate would handle the weight of your tree. No problem.
