Default How do you transports your ATV?

i bought a decent 15 passenger window van, cheap! pulled the rear seats both quads fit with room to spare , no trailers to pull . all secure and enclosed when you pull over for lunch just lock em in. outta sight outta mind. tint the back windows good and its the perfect hauler. all for about the same price as a nice trailer

And does simply owning one make you "elite"???

I put mine in the back of my Chevy Silverado with the Louisana Guard Dog. I also have a 5 x 8 tilt trailer that I used before I got the truck.

I ride mine into the back of my F-150. I put an old tire in between the bike's bumper and the front of the truck so it doesn't hit the glass. For ramps I bought the ramp kit from Royal Distributing and they bolt onto 2x8 lumber. I use 2x10x6' and the kit has steel parts that make the angle to the truck. It comes with rings to attach safety straps from the ramps to the truck so they don't "kick out".

Once in the truck, two ratchet straps, one in the front and one in the rear along with leaving it in park and brake locked on.

I have a Triton 4x8 aluminum trailer with the 12" wheels. Whole trailer weights 200 pounds and hauls my Brute Force just fine. By the way, I tow it with a 99 Mercury Mystique 4 cylinder and I get a lot of laughs and looks. Oh well, I still get around 25 mpg hauling my machine so I don't care what people think!

LOL!

Your Sedona has more power than my 2.0L 127 horepower Mercury Mystique. You ought to see the looks I get! LOL And, despite what naysayers were saying about pulling a quad with this car, my tranny is in perfect health and I am still able to cruise at 65-70 with no problems.

I'm looking to get something similar to your light trailer. I think I may have a step up on you because I'm wanting to pull mine with a Hyundai Accent and my class I hitch that I put on for a bike hitch. I don't think it will be a problem pulling it, as long as I get a light aluminum trailer. I wouldn't want to pull great distances or would not use it very often, I just don't like to really on friends with trucks to do it for me if I needed to go into the dealer or something.
