I am picking up my 05 raptor 350 tomorrow, I went out to my truck (2003 Ranger edge, reg cab, flair side) and I dont know why but i measured the box width. I never even dreamt the bike would not fit. After realising the box is 42.1 inches wide, I felt like crying. As you know the raptor measure 43.1 inches at the back. SO I lack 1 inch from being able to put the bike in. Man that sucks, do you think with the give in the tires that I can make it fit, or am I basically up the creek without a paddle???

Man I wanna cry

 

just put the front tires in, and sit the rears on the edge of the bed, then use tow straps... dont worry ive seen far worse. by the way i took my recon and a 90 i had fixed home from the stealership in the back of a for e350 van, they fit like a charm.

 

I dont know if the warrior "rap 350" got wider for 05 but I know my friend's 04 does fit in his 03 ext cab stepside ranger. Its a TIGHT squeeze but it does fit. The trick is getting the front tires over the damn fenders.

 

Try putting a honda pilot in the back of a shortbed Silverado [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] that was an experence (didn't work though)

 

Thats gonna be tight.

My huge Vforce goes in my S10 reg. cab with tailgate up though.

 

I would think it would fit, I have an 03 raptor 660 and it fits into my 86 toyota SR5 shortbed without any problem.......though it does kinda of look like the raptor is riding the toyota[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Sorry to hear your bike wont fit.

Although it wont make you feel any better, i can get two full sized quads in the bed of my long bed f250 [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

If you need access to a plasma cutter im your boy, we'll get an inch of clearance in 15 minutes

 

I can squeeze my 01 Raptor 660 in the bed of my 99 Ranger step side,,,, but i have to lift the front wheels over the weeel wells,,,,,it's tight ,,,but it'll fit.

 

I can even close the tailgate.

 

My '01 Warrior fits like a glove in the box of my '90 Mazda B2200 short box .. got about 6" to spare with the gate up too [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
