Good question Catfish. The one on my old Santa Fe was built of some pretty darned light weight aluminum. I would guess a couple of hundred pounds would be the max, which would put me over. But I never had any sort of info. on the ladder (owner manual or brochure), so I'm really not sure.
I'll be anxious to see if anyone hear has any definitive factory documentation. | | | Re: Rear ladder. | Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 4,043 pooh-bah | pooh-bah Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 4,043 | My TransVan has the aluminum ladder screwed into fiberglass.... I suspect the fasteners will fail before the actual ladder.

I used to climb on my ladder and bounce up and down. No problems. I took it off because it rattled too much.
