SPYDEY, you can get the 800 into the Avalanche but it is going to be tight and you'll have to keep the tailgate down. You'll have about an inch on either side and the rear tires will be on the gate. I wouldn't feel comfortable hauling it like this given the expensive plastics and the fact that the tailgate cables will be holding the dead weight. If it were my decision to make, I would borrow my buddies truck and buy a trailer to haul the Beast if I could swing it at all. Besides, the rear of the truck makes nice lockable storage for your tools, gas cans, and extra goodies if you don't want them wet or stolen. We use Momma's Avalanche like this sometimes. Hope this helps. Great minds think alike. Great choices in trucks and quads.

 

THANKS FOR THE INFO LAWDOG.

 

What dealership are you buying from?

 

Coming from the Scrammy wouln't would rather the style of the new Can-Am Renagade 800??? You can add a winch and a plow also......

I'm not bashing the polaris, but the Scammy was a "sport" 4x4 not a ute......... better fit for you????

 

UPDATE ON THE PRICE, ITS IS $8799 OTD. HE DINT INCLUDE TAGS/TITLE ETC...... MY BAD. AND I ENDED UP NOT GETTING A HELMET (IT WAS FOR MY DAUGHTER) THEY DIDNT HAVE ONE THAT WOULD FIT HER. THE NAME OF THE PLACE IS HOFFMANS SPORT AND TURF IN ST MARYS, PA. AS FAR AS CAN AM GOES, I JUST STAY WITH WHAT I KNOW, AND I KNOW MY POLARIS HAS TAKEN CARE OF ME. I STILL HAVE MY SCRAMBLER--FOR THE WIFE AND BESIDES THERE ARE NO CAN AM DEALERS AROUND HERE.

 

Youre closer to me then i thought. Whatever you do , dont ever go to East American motorsport in Punxsutawney.I bought my 800 there but im takeing it to Indiana tomarrow for warranty work because EAMS are A-holes.
Good luck with your purchase.

 

Wow Jeff, why Indiana? Where abouts in IN you headed?

 

THATS FUNNY, I WAS THE FIRST PERSON TO EVER DO AN INTERNET DEAL THROUGH THEM......BACK IN 2000. THEY TREATED ME GOOD BACK THEN BUT HOFFMANS ONLY OPENED AFTERWARDS. I HAVENT GONE BACK SINCE. WHERE ARE YOU FROM?

 

WE HAVE AN INDIANA PA., JUST SOUTH OF PUNXSUTAWNEY (WHERE THE GROUNDHOG PUNXY PHIL LIVES).

 

Hey guys, just kidding, ha ha. I passed geography, honest. Can't we just pretend that I didn't say it?
