Does anyone carry an ATV in the bed, i think mine will fit "snuggly" but I wory about the strength of the tail gate and those cables.

I’ve had my CFMoto 600 2-up in my Rebel with RamBoxes. It seemed to do well. As you can see I need to put some airbags in the springs to prevent sagging.

I had my old Warrior 350 in my bed with RamBoxes with no issues. The ATV is not all that heavy, but I am. I think the tailgate is rated very well, but others may confirm that. I think it may be mention in the owner's manual.

i believe the tailgate is rated for 2000 lbs

You might want to invest in tailgate support bars if you're worried about the cables:

Had my son's Honda 400ex in the bed a few times. Loaded it by myself, without ramps, and the tailgate was rock solid.

I carry a Kawasaki Brut Force 750 in mine. The tailgate is rated at 2000 lbs. as someone previously pointed out and I assume that specification includes the cables. I don't have the Ram Boxes so I have room to dismount the ATV when I get it up on the bed. Because I have a spacer built out of wood to prevent contact with the rear window, the Kawasaki is too long so I can't close the tailgate. But it beats towing a trailer.

Anybody know if the MFT is rated for the same 2000lbs?

yes same

I find it funny that the tailgate is rated to 2k lbs (and am glad it is) yet the majority of the RAM 1500's have less than 1600lb payload ratings.

I know they say a maximum weight of 2000lbs, but everything i had looked up referred to the "multi-function" tailgate when they say that. I thought i had seen 1100lbs on my bighorn when i was researching it when i first got it but dont remember where that was. My Polaris 450 is i think 550 lbs. I feel safer throwing it on my small trailer but even at 1100lbs sounds like it would be safe to put it up there.

My old RAM w/rambox fit my smaller Ace 570 and I did add the air bags to help support it. Now my 19 has a longer bed w/o rambox and w/air ride and my new (bigger) Ace 900xc weighs in at 1000# it will fit snuggly but i question the t gate and cables (good to know its 2000#)

Google mad ramps! The real wheels of the ATV Rest on the ramps that go into your receiver hitch. They look promising!
