Full Size ATV in Pickup Bed
Its a 1991, just a beater now, but its 43 inches between the wheelwells, and 62 inch long bed. I cant close the tailgate, when its in, but the back wheels arent on the tailgate.
I was looking at those pickups, and the beds are just too small. I ended up get a full size chevy, extended cab with the v6, and it was probably 3 thousand less than the toyota, and has more room than i need.I easily pull a trailer with two quads and have one in the bed, and 3 guys in the cab, plus all the gear. The toyota and the nissian, dont get any better milage either, than the chevy does. I can still manage 15 mpg fully loaded, 20 unloaded. Plus theres seating for 6 inside.
I dont think the wheel wells will be a problem, its gonna be all that weight on the tailgate, I dont think they were designed to handle weight that way. If its 6 feet, from the front wall, to the tip of the extended tailgate, then it should fit.
Ive seen others, who have those short beds, use 2 x 8 s, under the tires, front and back to keep the load off of the gate.
The other way around this, is get a cheap trailer, I found a used snowmobile trailers for 200 bucks, and it can hold two quads.

My Warrior squeeks between the wheel wells on a '91 GMC Sonoma. Newer body styles have a little more room for a Warrior.
