Can a Split Tailgate Handle a Heavy Wheelchair? My Real-Life Dilemma

Hiya, this might sound silly but I thought it was worth a try. My partner and I are on the hunt for a new (well, new to us) car, and the Volvo XC90 keeps popping up. The split tailgate looks super practical, but I can't figure out if the bottom section can handle the weight of my 150kg wheelchair when using telescoping ramps. From my experience, loading a power chair is so much easier with a flat tailgate, but I worry about damaging it. Does anyone know the weight limits or the right terms to search for? Would love to hear from anyone who's been in the same boat! Drop your thoughts or tips below! #AccessibleDriving #WheelchairLife #CarShopping #SplitTailgate #RealQuestions #Cars
