Out the door it probably weighs 720 pounds. I weigh 205 to 210 depending on if I just pooped or not. So that's a lot of weight. I got it last Thursday and have loaded and unloaded it 5 times. I have had absolutely not one single problem with the tailgate so far with my set up. The back tire rests on the tailgate with the wood over it. I have even gone down some very rough roads and still I have no sign of cracking. I need to take pictures for you guys, but I have been so excited about riding this machine I have not had the chance. I love this quad!! Its a monster.

Conrats on the new ATV. What made you go with the Can AM 800 Outlander over say the Kawasaki 750 Brute Force, Honda, Suzuki or Yamaha?
P.S. If you replaced your tailgate with a Dodge Ram tailgate you would not have tor worry about weight or adding wood. I had my brother in law ride his ATV in the back of my Ram and he weighs 350lbs and the ATV weighs 700lbs and I never gave it a second thought.
