IS it possible to fit two recons in the back of a 6 1/2' Ford F150? Possible sideways with the front weels on the siderails, or maybe straight in and piggybacked?

 

I put a 90 stood up on end against the cab, and my YFZ up against that in a 6.5 foot Dodge bed. I can ALMOST close the tailgate like that. You might be able to still have the 2nd quads' rear tires on the gate like that as well.

 

with duct tape or a brain , anything is possibal.

Last weekend I saw two full sized ATV's facing each other in the back of a pickup. It was like they were hugging!

 

Standing up I assume. I have 102" total to the end of the tailgate. I'm thinking if I put something under the front tires of the front Recon and then piggyback the back one I will make it. The problem is I don't have the second Recon YET. I need to know if it'll fit before I buy it. I also thought that if needed, I could drop a sheet of 3/4 plywood in the bed but let it hang out the end of the tailgate a foot or so. The front of the ply would be held down by the rear tires of the front Recon and so the part of the ply that would be hanging out would be able to support the rear tires of the back Recon if it was longer than the truck & tailgate.

 

Question,with the chance of damaging your truck or someones ride (or injuries)if these should fall out,why not buy a trailer?

 

Valid point. you can get a 4x6 or 4x8 trailer for about $500.00 used these days, and it is a much safer option. Also easier to load that way after a long day of riding.

 

Would love to have a small trailer but wifey says she doesn't want it in the yard, and no place else to keep it. Think I'll have to over rule her though. Or let HER load the recons once....THEN she'll understand.

 

buy a trailer bahh thats for city slickers

 

After reading these posts, I would suggest you stand back and re-read your posts. Your logic defies sanity. Why would you go out and spend thousands of dollars for a machine your are taking a chance on losing out the back of a truck or injuring yourself trying to load it or killing an innocent bystander when it falls out of your truck at 70 mph.

First, trying to stand a 300 to 500 pound machine on end would make my back hurt. Standing a machine on end is a good way of destroying the seat and fenders of one of those expensive machines. Secondly, I doubt a sheet of plywood will hold a machine of that weight especially after you bounce your truck across some rough railroad tracks. That plywood will snap in half and dump your ATV on the road.

If your going to spend your hard earned money to buy a second machine, then plan on buying the proper equipment to transport it.
