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

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.

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

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

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.

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

I appreciate the fact that Alex put his helmet on.

Chevy offers the biggest bed in class

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

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.

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

You answered my question. .Thanks..

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

They make these things called trailers!

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.

What ramps are those?

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

Awesome dude

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.

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

It looks good in the *TrailBoss*

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

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

I carry a Honda rancher in the back of a Colorado extended cab

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.

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

Good job Alex

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!!!😄😄

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.

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

TFL Please share a link for the ramps please

Good job Alex

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

Pretty cool

Alex has the same helmet I do. Nice

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

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.....

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

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.

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

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.

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.

What about getting it out?

I have a Honda Ridgeline with a 4 foot bed. I'm assuming no chance right?

What are the ramps size and length?

Can you post a link to the ramps?

5ft Taco?

Hi

Nice video!, how long the ramps are?

Stupid question? HOW do you Get it OFF the bed ?

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.

Recreation is supposed to be fun, not stressful. Id buy a small trailer

But can you fit the ATV and the rails in the bed? Whats point if you can't bring rails with you...

That's why any bed on a pickup bigger than a midsized that's shorter than 6.5 foot just seems useless to me.

I apreciate if someone could help, Could you be legally able to drive with the tailgate down?

What's the payload of the Trail Boss? The Polaris is 881lbs dry

if you need a helmit to load this thing in the truck then you might as well wear it 24/7

A can am wouldn't fit Unless you want broken glass

I bet you trade this in for a 2021 model with the new Tail gate option or get one retro fitted to this truck.

TFL Bike link in description = 404 Not Found

"GIANT ATV"

"Painless" until you have to repaint the chipped up tailgate

But you don't have a truck, you have a shevy

If it doesn't have low range and 4wd, i don't load it. Same with motorcycles. That's what trailers are for ...

As other viewers comment before, the atv loading in the video was near failure... 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 ... A double hook at the top end of the ramps (or any system to keep both top ends of the ramps to stay in place) could help avoiding a failure when loading/unloading the atv, not to mention drivers ability and how they use the throttle... ( and a few more factors, of course...)

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

Now my Front Alignment OCD is Peeked. Won't a Truck Bed Wheel Well filler Ramp keep the ATV front end straight. =^^^\ ....2x8? vs Alignment Time & $?

2:24 mark before this idiot actually starts loading the 4 wheeler..

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.

This guy is really old

What a worthless truck bed.

the tflbike hyperlink in your description does not work...

Cringe af to put on a helmet to load the atv 😂😂😂😂😂 Yal be doing to much for the camera lmao
