i have an 04 fx4 flareside with a 6.5' bed.....it has tie down anchors in the bed (sides), 3 on each side i believe....and the plastic ones on the outside top rails.....anyone know what the strengh per each on is? more interested in the ones in the bed....looking to trailer a vmax possibly and it weighs about 600lbs. thanks all.....also can the tailgate support using a ramp on it with this much weight? (just loading, the bike will just fit into the bed), or might need the extender for the bed. but the weight of the bike will be in the bed after loading....again, thanks...

 

I dont think you will have any problems with the interior tie downs. I have tied down my offroad bikes many times with out a problem. I know my bikes weigh less than yours but i have tied them both in at the same time. One weighs 256 plus gas and the other weighs 233 plus gas. The tailgate is strong and many others have loaded 4-wheelers that same way without any problems hopefully some will pop in and tell you more and the weights of their machines. Hope this helps.

 

Forgot to tell you my truck is also a flareside. You have 4 tie downs in the bed, 2 in front and 2 in the rear. You have 6 on the outside of the bed, 3 on each side.
