Tow or truck bed

IMO the ramps into a truck are much more dangerous because of their height, where as if you have a trailer that is only 16-20" you have a very little way to fall if something were to happen, also this may help your decision:

Tow
I do both depending on where I'm going and how much gear I need to haul. Truck bed is usually the best. I bought a good set of folding steel ramps that were a great deal off eBay. They are longer and arched so you can load/unload without the safety concerns of a standard set of ramps. Investing in a good trailer is always a good idea too because then you have something to haul other things with and you can also pull it with the wheeler to do outside projects around the house.

Both. On some occasions we have 4 quads going on a trail ride. I can just fit my buddy's 2002 Sporstsman 500 in the bed of my GMC (shortbed 6'6") if we take off his roller fairlead from his winch. We can fit 3 quads on my 101"x12' snowmobile trailer. We usually run the ramps from the empty trailer to the truck so it isn't too steep. By myself, I use the trailer just because our quads are extra long.

Trailer:
1. Usually hauling 2 machines.
2. Feel more comfortable driving it up a tilt trailer than the ramps.
3. With the mudlites & spacers on don't fit between the wheel wells.
4. A bit leary of the winch coming through the back window, one of the guys did and it dont just crack a little.
5. Nice to have the extra room in case have to haul something else.
