Hauling a SxS in your truck

Diamond Back bed covers

I have a Wildcat Trail that I pull on a trailer behind a Class C. I worry about loading and unloading. Loading it in or on a truck bed I imagine would be doable, but not fun and would require really long ramps and a winch or a pair of brass b@lls. I don’t think I’d want do it frequently. If you plan to drive a wildcat up into a truck bed, make sure you have someone taking video ;-)

A friend sort of hauls his on top of the bed. He bought strong aluminum cover for the bed. The Razr goes on top and he has plenty of extra storage under the aluminum cover in the bed.

1. There are UTV bed racks that allow you to run the UTV tires over the top of the cab. This will give you a tall height with more weight located higher than you are used to. When sizing trucks, look at the weight of the UTV, rack, gear, people and hitch weight so you do not go over axle or wheel weights.

2. Torklift makes a SuperHitch receiver designed to tow heavy trailers on a double truss extension. This allows you to carry the narrow UTV in the bed, yet extend the trailer far enough back so the 9-10' UTV does not interfere with the trailer. You still need to take in account the items listed above when sizing the truck, but now you have to add the additional weight of the SuperHitch and SuperTruss instead of the UTV bed rack. With the UTV lower in the truck, it will handle better with a lower CG.

My in-laws have a RZR-S that they haul in the bed (98.5 Dodge) and pull a 30' trailer.

Their complaint is where to haul their EU3000i generator. It currently gets strapped in the back of the RZR then the RZR gets loaded. Kind of a pain but it works.

They love it!
