Default Anyone haul an atv in back of compact pickup

I am purchasing an atv for hunting and am wondering if it will fit in between the wheel wells of my Nissa Fronteir 4x4. I have 41 inches inbetween the wheelwells. I know most atv's are wider than this but I am wondering if anyone has figured away to get the atv over the top of the wheelwells.

I dought if it will fit between,,,,but it will have no problem rolling over them

get a set of aluminum ramps,,so you can drive it right in,,,,,,it'll drive right over the humps (if you are on it) (it is an atv afterall)

no problem rolling over them?
i found the problem with my s10 is you gotta give it so much gas to get over... that its hard to stop before you hit the back window!
i just have a buddy left it over the wells with me lifting and pushing on the back.

Riding over the wheel wells is no problem, just make sure your front tire pressure is up or you will hit the cab. Most front bumbers are behind the front wheels.

Should fit. And as most all Utility atv's are auto/autoclutch you should be able to drive it up and over without too much trouble. I've got a '98 Dakota and my Warrior fit's in perfect between the wells without touching. On the other hand my friend has a '00 S10 and when he puts his DS650 in there, well, it looks like his quad is showing his truck some prison love. It's pretty comical, and it's just a hernia waiting to happen lifting that thing in there.

Good luck,
-Marc

My Bayou 250 will fit between the wells o my Tacoma. But a Z400 wo't. Check the manufactures websites for width or spend $500 and get a nice 4x8 trailer...

I almost went through the back window on my 95 Ranger. Went to Home Depot and bought some 2 x 6 (treated) and made a ramp. Starts right at the wheel well. With hardware and all the lumber, cost about 20 bucks.
