Paulzaho, I am going to buy a 05 Predator and been look for something to carrie it other then a trailer. I have notice in your picture that you carrie a atv on a trailer hitch carrier. How do you like it? Do you feel safe by using it? Right now i have a Ford Sporttrac that is a little short then your truck and having 415 lbs hanging on the rear I don't now about that yet. Thanks for your time.

Predator dude, in order to use to carrier that I have you need at least a class III hitch. I also beefed up the rear suspension with leaf springs out of a 1 ton dually. (with the stock springs it sagged too much and made it a handful on the highway) For added support I fabricated brackets that I put into the stake pockets of the bed and use a come-a-long for added insurance. When it's all locked down, it's as though it is part of the frame, it does not move. So I do feel pretty safe with it. Best part is I don't have the added expenxe of registration/insurance.
I love it! The looks you get going down the road are awsome. Nobody tailgates either. Also finding a parking spot is usually never a problem.
Hope that answered your ?????'s

I love it! Although this is my first polaris, and I don't really have anything to compare it to. All I know is after the installation, it was like riding a different bike.
I've heard stories of Hot seat having horrible C.S. but I never had a problem.
