Dang, now I want my Mav hybrid AND an Indian Scout! Thanks a lot, man. My wife isn’t going to like that, on top of buying a new truck, I now have to get a $15k bike! Glad it hauled well. Man, that truck and bike look awesome! (Just sold my bike last year.)

Awesome to hear! Nice bike! Can't wait to put my Indian in the back! I'm assuming no adverse handling effects hauling it? Also looks slightly diagonal. Would it fit perfectly straight?

This makes me happy to see. I don't have a bike right now because I'm looking into Honda's mini-moto line, either a Grom or Trail. Now I'm wondering if two mini-motos would fit in the back.

absolutely they will. I have fit 2 full size dirt bikes. A Honda 450 and a KTM at same time with no issues. Dont listen to the naysayers

Love the truck what color is that? Hoping it is Cactus Grey

absolutely not. I don't know why so many are freaked out about the tailgate.

Definitely puts things into perspective how compact the Maverick really is.

By itself, the Maverick is so well proportioned that a photo taken in the right setting could make one think it isn’t much smaller than an F150.
Adding the motorcycle in frame changes that illusion quickly.

That was my comment... Looks like the tailgate is sagging. I think I read it is good to 500 lbs. I don't know how much is on the back wheel of a bike that size, though.

Probably because reviews brag about how light the tailgate is.
I think it has a 500 lbs max rating in the lowest position.

No clue what max rating was of my old 3500 Ram, but that tailgate weighed a ton! I was so used to it that I once slammed the tailgate of a chevy 2500 because I didn’t realize other tailgates where made so light. Luckily, the owner wasn’t around or I might have gotten an ugly stare!

I’ve noticed in video reviews that the tailgate seems to not sit flush even with no load.
I think the Maverick tailgate always looks a little busted as a result.

Love the scout, But the wife said I am not aloud to have a bike any more so will have to live thru you. Enjoy both rides.

At least I get a Mav.

A Scout only weighs 575ish stock. So there's no way 500 lbs alone is on the tailgate.
