the measurements on honda's website say its width is 45.3 inches and its wheelbase is 48.4 inches which measurement is the one i should use when figuring if it will fit. i measured the bed of my ranger and it came to about 43 inches im not worried about the length im sure it will fit with the tailgate down. im planning on buying one tommorrow and the dealer tells me it will fit but when he answered he didnt sound all that sure of himself

thanks
steve

I dont know if this helps but mine fits my Tundra with several inches to spare. I would think it would fit fine but may have to be lifted over the wheel wells.

It will fit. I've hauled both my 250X and my Scrambler in my Ranger. You'll just have to lift the front over the wheelwells.

well with the stepside you lose almost a whole foot in width in the bed.. i've always wondered why people got those things.. no use for it and just makes your bed smaller.

I can fit a polaris Tralblazer in the bed of a 97' 4x4 nissan pickup and close the tail gate. Nissans are generally on the small side and the polaris is bigger than most, you should have not problem.

Yes it will fit with minor adjustments. It will fit down in the wheelwells after a couple of hits with a rubber mallet. It fits snug, and if you want to keep your wheels looking nice and shiny, it's the thing to do. Tailgate closes with about 4 inches between the gate and the backwheels.

Don't worry about the wheelwells either.....IT'S A TRUCK!
