Hi; I just purchased a quad and I have to travel 500 miles to pick it up. I know thay it will fit in my ST but I don't know how much weight the tailgat can handle. The quad is a 500 cc 4WD and weighs 730 Lbs

Not quite the same but I've travelled 300 miles at a time with my motorcycle in the bed. With the rear tire on the tailgate. My bike is approx 400 lbs.

It should be fine Just strap it in good what kind of quad did you get ??
Ford does not use duct tape and bailing wire to assemble their vehicles.
Load it up and bring it home. Don't worry about it.

If the rear tires are on the tailgate, I would recommend using a piece of wood to spread the weight across the entire tailgate. The plastic liner may not hold up if it's bouncing too much.

Wow! I can't beleive Toyota would put that on a truck!
I did a little searching around the web about "Tundra tailgate problems" and they have a real problem there with that excuse for a tailgate. Not mention you can't drive with it down either.
