does anyone make or have you guys come up with any way to fit 2 quads IN the truck? Maybe the back one up on the fronts seat?

put one is sideways and leave the gate down and put the other one straight in. i have don htis on a 6 ft bed but you have to leave the gate down. or you can hang one bike on either side of the truck for balance. just the front tires. we also did this on a 2 door ranger. or you can stand one up in the front and put the other one in straight.
they also sell the platform that slides into your hitch that you can put a quad on the back its like a wheelless trailer.

Just stand both on their rear ends (on their grab bars). I know a guy who stood a Kawasaki Bayou like this, then added a Polaris Sportsman in the back of a standard bed Ranger. Then drove for 300 miles.

We stand one on end and put the other in right behind, tight against the fenders of the first one. You can leave the tail gate down and you will be OK.
That is how we haul ours (a 300ex & 400ex), but we have an 8 foot bed.

Good luck and have fun!!!

Maybe a trailer would be better for you...just put 1 quad in the truck bed and 1 on the trailer...just get a used trailer for like $2-300

Trailer is best.

We have a short bed ford..and my 300EX takes up most of the bed..

If you don't care about your trick..they can be sit in side ways with the front wheels on the side of the bed. fits good..did this to get a 300EX and blaster in the truck

Get yourself a rack that holds 2 atv's, they come with ramps that store under the atv's. works real well, I had one for awhile then I got a trailer because of the 3rd atv.

'00 400ex
'99 426ex
'99 Banshee

A friend of mine just lays one straight up against the cab and the other one down regular right behind it.
