Mopar tail gate ramps - weight capacity?

[NvrGvUp]

Looking for actual specs related to the tailgate load capacity when the gate is fully opened. Page 111 in the 2023 Gladiator owner's manual "the maximum load for the tailgate in the mid position is 350 lbs." I found Mopar Ramps no longer available . . Easy to overcome the loading angle issues by parking in a position the reduces the loading angle, but I'm curious about the weight capacity and why the ramps are no longer available.

You have to be careful. I was loading a gun safe in a Ford Ranger I had at the time and the two cables snapped causing the gate to hit the bumper.

I think this is the answer you're looking for posted by JeepCares in 2019; Gladiator tailgate can support up to 500 lbs payload in middle position

Good Morning,

Sorry for the delay in response, per the Jeep team:

1. Up to 500 lbs payload can be carried in the bed with the tailgate in the mid position. This payload rating is dependent on the sheet cargo being properly supported with 2x4s positioned in the bed as specified by the owner's manual.
2. Ramp load at end of down tailgate
   • Single ramp = 600lbs
   • Dual Ramp = 425lbs/ramp or 850lbs total
3. Distributed load across down tailgate: 1850lbs

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

This info is from an old post. Not exactly what you are asking but may still be helpful.

Thanks for the replies. That is exactly what I was looking for! 850 with dual ramps and 1850 appears to be a static load without ramps and the tailgate down.
