Default Chevy Crew Cab w/Short bed

Yep I took the plunge but now I am starting to think I may have to get a bigger trailer. I will be picking it up on Thursday this week but it won't fit in my 4x8 trailer. I have a Chevy Crew Cab w/Short bed. Will it fit if I leave the gate down? The TRV will have the HD Front/Rear Bumpers on it as well.

Anyone haul one of these with this set-up?

Thanks,

Dave

It will fit with the tailgate, but just barely, and a word of advice, watch your back glass when you load it.

Out of the 4 quads I have, only one fits with the tailgate closed in out 06 Silverado. And that's just barely. Watch for scratches on the front of the bed from the quads bumper. They all fit (not at once) fine in my Ranger.

But the bigger problem is the loading ramps. The Ranger bed is long enough the ramps slip under the quad, and the gate still closes. They're about 3 inches longer than the bed on the Silverado. So, I have to leave the gate down anyway.
