I just don't like that much weight up that high. But that is just me.

At least that, and maybe another 500 lbs.

My guess pin weight 1,800lb + UTV weight 1,000lb + steel rack/ramps weight 500lb = 3,300lb...and the payload is around 2,400lb best case for that model/year.

Its not my setup its a friend that just finished it, 1st thing i thought was he has to be over some kind of weight limits.


I'd say so.

2500's are good pullers but they are not known for their payload numbers.




Well my thought is just how heavy is the 4 wheeler, less than 500/600#? If he has the correct tires he could still be with in axle rating and tire ratings. Looks like the stock 17" rims giving him 3,195# per tire, or 6,390# of capacity on the rear axle. Not sure I would push the front axle past it's listed VIN limit as the ball joints are likely the limiting factor. Before passing too much judgement I would like to see a picture of the TV unloaded! Likely did measure from the ground to the top of the 4 wheeler, and lowered the TV for clearance.
I will say last time I saw a setup like this it was an F350 DRW rig.
