Will a Sled fit in my 4runner?

[fishrod]

What are the chances of fitting a sled in the back of my 2nd gen if I pull out the back seats?
The sled is something like 11ft long, 46 inches wide and 46 inches high (at the handlebars)
My truck is in getting repaired, does anyone know the length from the back of the front seat to the back window?
Also, will the tailgate be able to support a 500lb sled?
I know it will be hanging out the back a fair bit but thinking I might be able to rig up some kind of frame to better support the front (heaviest) part of the sled whcih will be hanging out the back.
I am pretty sure it wont fit, but would be sweet it if did, saves finding/buying a trailer. But might be more hassle than its worth though.

no it wont fit. 11ft is to long.

Maybe a bed extender might help...here is a cheap one at Harbor Frieght.

Hmm, never thought of having something from the tow bar to support it. Still gotta back the thing up onto it using a ramp or something (500lbs is heavier than it sounds) so I still think a cheap $500 trailer might just be easier.

Worth a look though, thanks!
