Weight shouldn't be an issue (and can be fixed easily if it is). Biggest problem is going to be size (and getting the darn thing up there). A 4Wheeler should fit lengthwise, even in a short bed, but might have trouble with the wheel wells. A snowmobile will probably be just the opposite (assuming it goes in butt first).

I have an 2002 Taco and tried to put a 4x4 quad in the back I couldn't close my tailgate and it was pretty heavy. I think a snwmobile would be to heavy and long.

So the cables on the tailgate are rated at 300 or 500?
Do they offer stronger cables for this kind of thing? I would assume this would be the only thing to hold you back provided you have adequate straps to tie the thing down.
Not that I'd know or anything.
