i'm moving a couple fridges tomorrow (now today since it's after midnight). anyways, i'm using a ramp to get them into the bed. my question is, would the cables be strong enough for that brief moment the fridge is on the bed or should i just take the tailgate off and put the ramp right on the bed above the bumper?

 

tailgates are rated for 500 pounds MAX at any given time. so yea for that brief moment your good.

 

thanks, here i was thinking i'd leave my tailgate at a bud's and it'd grow legs.

 

it'll be fine... i've put a 600 lb grizzly 700 quad in the back of my ranger, 2- 300 pound racing lawnmowers hanging over the bed rail... it was fine..

 

I've had my triple cylinder yamaha snowmobile (heavy sucker) in the back of my truck a dozen times and zero problems.

 

sooooo.... like stated, no problems.

 

just to show you'll be fine

 

thanks

 

here's the racing mowers in the truck picture i was talking about, its the only pic i got. the blue one is 326lbs and its a ford YT 16 which is mine and the orange one is around 300lbs and its a 1974 Lawnflite and its my dad's.
