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.

I actually did this on a Colorado vacation last summer. I parked the TH at a campground in Ouray, and in order to get to the trailhead, I had to load the cat up into the truck. Not fun, and I would not do it again unless I absolutely have to.
So, I purchased two 2x12 boards and some tailgate support bars. I've seen people back in, but I'm not that confident. I pulled in straight using my old folding ramp. You do need a longer ramp for the angle, or find a hill/low spot you can use. I was only hauling it about a mile, and while it worked, it wasn't a comfortable feeling.
Right on. I should have explained in my original post that the Wildcat Trail is a bit longer than the 50” RZR (9 1/4’ long) and the Team clutch is not conducive to this activity, even with a Speedworx throttle spring. Jumpy little animals.
