Tail Gates / How Much Weight?

Anyone out there know how much weight a tail gate can take? I've got a 06 Nissan Tighten and need to load a 625lb 06 Vinson. I'll be using ramps to run it up into the bed but I'm concerned about the tail gate.

Will it even fit in one of those little Japanese things? It won't hurt a real truck but I'd be afraid I'd squash the springs on an import.

I checked, out of curiosity, on several different pickups including Nisson and found none of the dealerships were able to supply the tailgate capacity on their products. Apparently the "try it and if it holds it's OK" attitude is the one to use. Kind of surprised me but there it is.
I had a cable fail on my little Chev after it had been inspected by the local dealership and proclaimed to be OK. After the failure another dealership replaced the cables under the recall that is out. I was fortunate the other cable held as I was unloading my quad at the time and it could have been an ugly situation.

???? How does that change the angle?

I have a Ford F350 and I take my tailgate off. I am not worried about the weight of my griz but it makes it easier to load. The angle in much less so it goes in easier.
