I want to load a Rhino in the back of my dually and was wondering what people thought about what the tailgate can hold as far as weight?
I have ramps rated at 3000lbs, so that is no issue.
But I don't want to bend my tailgate.
Only 1 axle of the Rhino is on the tailgate at 1 time, so figure around 700lbs.
Inputs?
Thanks

I load an 1100lb small car (plus me) over the tailgate all the time using ramps, have for years on 3 different pickups with no problem. I would probably not press my luck at 3000lbs.
I've got an Arctic Cat 700. I load it with ramps onto the tailgate all the time, no problem. When I have the tool box in the bed, the back wheels of the ATV ride on the tailgate, again no problem. I would not try to run the truck down a dirt road with the ATV on the tailgate though.
