Most the time I camp and ride the ATV in the same place but on a couple occasions it would have been nice to be able to transport my ATV to another area. Most the time its not feasible to pack up the toy hauler just to transport the ATV. Has anyone came up with a slick solution for this?I have been looking at the Harbor Freight 4x8 folding trailer thinking that it would set against my ramp door inside the hauler for transport then rolled out of the trailer and unfolded for use.I have a bumper pull trailer and a short box Ram pickup so I could do something in the pickup box but I hate to loose my bed cover as well as the dry secure storage in the bed plus the Can-Am Outlander Max is close to 8 foot long so it would be a tight fit in a short box.

You could always replace your cover with something like this https://diamondbackcovers.com/collections/atv-sxs-carriers

I used to flat tow my mini buggies from the campground to the staging area using a draw bar. Technically not legal, but it was only 5 miles on 30 mph roads.

My ATV is street legal in Utah and Arizona so I should be legal as well. I can't find any info on flat towing the ATV so I'm not sure if I need to worry about damaging it.

I've seen racks in short bed trucks that raise the front wheels over the cab of the pickup to transport ATVs. Also seen Quads standing up vertically in a shortbed for transport.

the HB freight fold up trailers are a good bang for the buck for short distances. Look at Mad Ramps. Not cheap but would probable fit the bill. Can also weld up an extension that would fit in the receiver to extend the bed.How wide is the Outlander Max? Will it fit width wise in the bed. I know with my RZRs it fits but rubs the bed rails.
