Behind The Scenes: Let's See How Well A GIANT ATV Fits Into A Short Bed Pickup Truck!

[@WyLEE08]

Glad to see you finally start measuring the tailgate opening...this is something I have been having to deal with for many many years. You should measure and share ever new truck.

[@umpireoba]

3:07 that right ramp holding on by a thread lol

[@northerntoyota7584]

umpire good eye. I’ve had ramps kick out on me many years ago, now I make sure those straps are tight. Not a fun feeling

[@alexpuls8219]

Yeah I was worried about the ramps kicking out when he went up. The straps weren't tight holding the ramps. I've loaded a quad in a truck and blipped the throttle a little too hard and kicked the ramp out. The quad fell halfway off the truck and I bailed to get out of the way.

[@mannyechaluce3814]

1000 cc, 1000 lb crashing ouch,,,,,,,,,

[@Bostonharborwater]

Nice setup. I gotta have that 6.5’ bed though.

[@younghex9577]

You might need a longer quad to fit

[@jamesclapp6940]

nice to see the helmet use especially with the BOSS over seeing the loading

[@robb1165]

Tip would be that it is really easy to break the rear cab window, or dent the bed in the center if your push bar extends past the tires. Especially with lower powered ATV's that need some throttle to get over the tire humps.

[@northerntoyota7584]

rob b 1 I have a couple of 6x6 blocks so the ties hit them before the bumper hits the window. Takes a lot of worry away

[@robb1165]

@@northerntoyota7584 My S10 didn't have enough room for blocks on my ATV. It was 2 wheel drive and kind of jumpy at low speed. It was just narrow enough to go over one tire hump, that was much easier than doing both humps

[@turtleis]

Can’t wait for Alex to review the Polaris. The way he reviews rides is quite top notch. Seems pretty informed and relays everything very well. Hope he enjoys his job cause he does well.

[@Mario-pt7zt]

I appreciate the fact that Alex put his helmet on.

[@WW-wf8tu]

Nicely done. Always wanted to see TFL show this method of ATV transportation.

[@adriansienko3619]

Chevy offers the biggest bed in class

[@Sylvan_dB]

That's just sad.

[@wyo1446]

More like ugliest in class

[@loganholmberg2295]

It should be 6ft instead of around 5.5ft though. I own one and I wish I had an extra 1/2ft.

[@9663mu]

@@loganholmberg2295 it’s actually more like 5’’8 inches and not 5 and half as they said. I think Ford is only one who truly has the 5 and half while GM and Ram have like 1-2 inches more then 5 and half. Either way I’ll take the 6 and half foot bed with the crew cab. Yes it’s long but you learn to back up in most places and never wish you had more room.

[@adriansienko3619]

[@_DB.COOPER]

[@xzibito187]

Looks like you have to make sure the ramp straps are on really good...

[@richfarfugnuven6308]

Throw a diamondback HD cover on there. Mine supports 1600 lbs.

[@CodyLeslie]

I was looking for this comment. This is the way.

[@robqwertyuipp8750]

Those covers are sweet, I have one . They are expensive if you buy the twelve foot ramps with it , over 2000.00

Great thanks for sharing

[@R.Nelson]

Nice job Alex!!...good video... Thank you Roman and Alex.!!☺

[@cir4-mtbr]

Awesome dude

[@samduran5180]

Chevrolet has a 2" longer bed and also the quad your using is the largest and newest in the industry. Your average quad would have fit in this truck when compared to Ford and Ram.

[@dj6point2s70]

That is the hardest thing about about ATVs and halfton’s. 5.5/6.5’ bed, tailgate has to stay down. I’m looking at a 3/4 GM or 1 ton Ram/Ford with an 8’ bed. I have traveled with the tailgate down, but I want to close the tailgate and avoid rock chips on my tailgate. Tfl should look into reviewing a diamondback cover.

[@Sylvan_dB]

What I'd like to see being loaded are the double-decker atv racks, or the two up over the rails loaded from the side. Saw one rig, they had a platform over the bed rails and when they unloaded the ATVs they set up their tent on it.

[@connorsinapi3133]

You guys should see how much the Trail Boss squats with the Scrambler in there

[@davidhillbrand2302]

8' bed works great for even a large Can Am Outlander Max. Anything shorter is a tight fit.

[@shandongubler9733]

I would love to see how other quads fit in that truck bed.

[@denseleit]

You answered my question. .Thanks..

[@spyder000069]

STEP 1: Order new rear window for truck. STEP 2: Load atv.

[@MrChadx1]

Ha. Yeah, they got lucky that in this model ATV, the tires hit before the front bumper. Doesn't look like they were watching that. A typical 4x4 ATV would have taken out the window well before the tires touched/stopped the front of the bed.

[@danatkinson6698]

There's a device that MrTruck reviewed that allows you to fit an atv into a short bed truck without using a trailer that inserts into your hitch. Steven at truck king did the same and both liked it.

[@fritty9927]

I have a crew cab Tundra and an FJ Crusier. With the back seats down I have six feet which is a half foot longer than the pickup bed! Madness!!!😄😄

Well good for you, rice aroni

[@michaelmosley1817]

What ramps are those?

[@jeremyhuglin8210]

[@Anth230]

8 foot bed is the only way to go if you are going to use your truck for motor sports or any other type of sport for that matter.....

[@benoitveronneau3538]

Totally agree. You have to bring the ramps too. Where do you put them in that short bed ?

[@stittyd]

@@benoitveronneau3538 They fold. Then you just stick them beside the four wheeler.

[@benoitveronneau3538]

@@stittyd would like to see it. Not sure there is enough space.

[@northerntoyota7584]

The ramps in this case would fit under the middle of the atv. A bed extender would keep them safely in, that or have a tie down pre hooked to front tie down in bed and down middle of the truck so you can attach it to the ramps once loaded

[@Anth230]

[@mobgma]

would it fit with 6,5ft bed? tailgate closed? looks close.

[@micheldionne5882]

I got a 2020 f-150 with the 6.5 foot bed and I got a 1992 bayou 300 4x4 that fits in the bed with 2 inches to spare with the tailgate closed. To me this an easy way of hitting the trails from time to time.

[@browndogstt8546]

Glad to se the ramp straps were tight. I had one slide out once and the tailgate didnt like the impact! I was at bananza colorado trail riding in the rain, by myself, and lucky i didnt get hurt.

[@vaughnburrows]

3:07 right ramp barely holding on.

[@MrChadx1]

They weren't! The right ramp nearly came off the tailgate. You can first hear is scrape as it moves and then see it barely hanging on. Near catastrophe. Glad it stayed on. Have to tighten those straps before riding up.

[@chemawatersa377]

@@MrChadx1 good eye, as i understand, the ramps lay between the tailgate and the ground, but when loading/unloading the atv , the compression on the suspensions and the atv power (and the weight by itself) could make changes in the forces and the grip of the ramp. that could also change the tension on the straps, change general forces and their position/direction ...

[@MrChadx1]

@@chemawatersa377 Compression of the pickup suspension makes the safety straps tighter (not looser) because a shorter distance between the tailgate and ramp creates a force on the ramp pushing away (not towards) the back of the truck. Only way for a strap to be that loose while loading is it was not tightened before the suspension squats and loading has begun.

[@MrNismopro]

I thought the belt was going to start crying on the way up.

[@ShukenFlash]

Alex has the same helmet I do. Nice

[@Sylvan_dB]

It isn't loaded until it is tied down and the ramps are also on board and tied down (since you can't close the tailgate). And FWIW, 5-1/2ft bed? Sigh... I struggle with my little truck's 6ft bed. 6-1/2ft is amazingly more versatile than 6ft. I'm considering if my next truck will be 6-1/2 or the full 8ft, or if I'll just give up and go for the trailer.

[@cordellroberson532]

this bed is actually 5 ft 8in

[@mikebraun9673]

A few back windows from know..... you will get this down pat....

[@surbahns]

Now can you back it up/ get it out without falling off the truck?

[@kevinremsen5627]

I never understood the short box. The whole point you buy a truck is fir the bed utility. Every crew cab I’ve owned has been a regular bed.

What about getting it out?

Uh.....reverse procedure? Lol

[@dcfrank9326]

Can you post a link to the ramps?

[@billysmith7835]

Hey Roman, what about a Honda four trax rancher or something similar size?

[@ethanmiller6680]

Something I found very interesting is tailgate weight rating, even though the bed can haul say 1600 lb can the tailgate hold 1600 lb? I've tried reaching out to truck manufacturers and they won't answer me. Maybe you guys will have better luck and let us know. Since somethings like an ATV/motorcycle are very heavy and need to roll over the tailgate I feel it would be good to know.

Why would you think a scrambler is a giant atv? a “giant” atv would be at least a 2-up one like the outlander max that fits in a long bed with e tail close

[@MrChadx1]

The point of this particular video was the width, not length, because this model is the only factory wide-stance ATV (around 10" wider than typical 4x4 utility ATV) and they are comparing to see if it could fit through the bed rails and wheel wells.

Stop the tail gate is not the narrowest point of the bed it's the wheel arch intrusion so common let get a but more professional in our presentation. But you cannot secure the load as the tailgate us still open so that is not safe or legal.
