I have a suzuki eiger 400 which is 85.6 inches long an a DC. I cannot close the tailgate. I have tried Alaskacub's technique with car ramps and still cannot close the tailgate not to mention it puts the quad dangerously close to the rear window. Since my tires all sit in the bed, I partially close the gate and hold it shut with straps. My only concern has been tailgate failure and now that the waranty is up I no longer load the ATV, I will buy a trailer.
