Little help please

Can anyone tell the weight capacity on the tailgate of an 06 f150 ? I want to put a ramp on it to get my harley in the back but i can't find the weight capacity anywhere in the manual. Any help would be appreciated.

A harley shouldn't be a problem on a tailgate. I got aluminum ramps and load my yamaha raptor all the time. I would guess the cables would snap before you broke the tailgate..

We load our 4 wheeler across the tailgate all the time, never had a problem. I'm not sure of the weight but I think it's in the neighborhood of 600#. It's a 2000 Yamaha Grizzly 660.

WMR is about right...you can roll it up on there...wouldn't put the full weight on at once but if you are just rolling it up I don't think you'll have a problem. What you are doing is pretty common
