I am a new buyer. I am looking at a 04 Polaris 500 Sportsman. I have a 2000 Chevy Silverado 1500. While the Polaris fit in to it.

It should. The box is 4ft between the wheelwells. If it is a shortbox you will have to leave the tailgate down.

hey - I have a Dodge ram with a small box and it just fits (also have the tailgate down) but if your Silverado is like mine it sits really high and its a pain to get up and down withour burnin your belt or keeping it on the ramps. get the full trifold ramps or better yet do what I did and get a used trailer - you will be glad you did... ALLOT easier.

if it has a winch on the front of this make sure you put something in front of the tires to prevent it form going thru the back window. trust me on this its not fun when it does.

Putting a spare tire/with rim and air up by the cab(lay down) the quad will wedge into the tire and stop you short of the back window... that's what I do......Caper....
