What is the Weight Capacity of the 100 Series 5th Wheel Tailgate for a 1987 Ford F-150
Question:
I have a 1987 F-150 that needs a new tailgate. Can the vg-100 handle the weight of someone standing on it when it is down? I ask because when I pick up a load of hay the guys always jump down on to the tailgate from the hay stacks. Thats why my old one is dented from the inside.

The 5th wheel tailgate # VG-100 has a 100 pound capacity. The cables on the truck that hold the tailgate might be rated differently so you would need to speak with a Ford technician for a specific weight capacity on the cables. Stromberg-Carlson warns not to stand on the tailgate.
