Very interesting scenario...glad I am looking around the site more. I put a Polaris ATV (~ 400 lbs) in the bed of mine this past weekend...noticed that the tailgate was dented in from loading. I wasnt going to mention anything here until I saw your post. Very thin metal on the tailgate, made me question hauling stuff in the bed.
