my friend got a 2001 ranger at beginning of summer and went to load his 250R into it... lol the front wheels hit the lights

 

Maybe you should just start looking for a small utility trailer. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I can get my '96 warrior in the back of my S-10. It rides like crap in there, but it fits. I have a little room to work with, so i'm sure i can a raptor back there. It'll just be a tight fit. But just to give you a view of what my truck looks like and why it rides like crap with the warrior back there, go here: Pics of my truck

 

Well shumway did it fit?
We got my grizzly 600 to fit in the back of a standard bed ford ranger, now that was scary....You could see the headlights over the top of the cab, and the tires on either side (wich already had a whole bunch of air let out of them) where squeezed in there tight, but we got it to fit and drove it like that 3 miles.

 

My lil ol ranger, as well as my friends ranger, will hold his 400ex with offset (wider) front and rear wheels. Ofcourse you have to pick it up over the wheel wells, but it fits none the less.

 

I got an S-10 and I've been able to squeeze my Rappy and my YFZ in there with no problem at all (not together). I even have a truck box taking up 2 feet of the bed, just gotta leave the tail gate open and tie it in is all. I just set the front wheels on top of the wheel wells and tie it forward, never had one problem yet and I drive a distance to ride. I wouldnt even consider it a tight squeeze at all, maybe you should get rid of that ford [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

I would agree to the trailer idea, you don't have much room for gear in s-10's or rangers. A decent small trailer should only run around 500 or so.

 

i got my front wheels flipped and also i have a lowering kit and 2.5 inch wheel spacers on the rear and it fits in the back of my SS silverado

 

thats what i do with my buddies 04 warrior, and its been widened just lay the rears on the gate, ford you need a bigger bed on those rangers

 

my dads got an 2004 ford f350 we have no trouble gettin it in[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
