Trukin' the RX3, light enough for your trucks tailgate?

I've loaded several 5-600lbs bikes using ramps. Never been an issue with the tail gate (04 ram 2500). I use one to walk up, and one to 'ride' the bike up (using the engine to drive it up). Two motorcycle tie downs from the cleats to the handle bars is all that's needed, but I like one in the rear wheel to keep it from hopping around. Also, I use long folding ramps that I lock in the truck when away.
