HELP…. Atv or Dirtbike in short bed

Hi, I just got a Tacoma limited a week ago for no markup, Msrp price. The only thing is that it’s a short bed. It’s really pissing me off now because I have a raptor 700 21’ and a 21’ yz250fx. I also got a bed extender for the truck because I know it won’t fit a quad or bike with tailgate up. I took the quad somewhere today and the bed extender didn’t come out far enough. I plan on taking my bike somewhere next weekend, any suggestions on loading in a short bed with bed extender Toyota?

 

I guess a trailer is a no go?

 

Not really, no. I’d rather not spend 3k for a small trailer. If 2 x4 would help, I can afford those. Lol

 

How about this

2x4 might be more than a trailer nowadays lol.

Small Utility trailer is like $800, max.

 

A 2x4 might be as much as a trailer these days lol

 

I have a rack for the bike, but it’s a triple and comes out to far, I’m trying to fit it in the back and go up for the day.

 

Well, here are what others have done or asked.

3k for a small trailer? I just bought a 6x12 for 1900 last month. You could get a 5x10 for around 1k

 

I live in LA. A burger is 20 bucks over here.

 

Hitch rack for the bike.

Or just leave your tailgate down.

problem solved.

 

That’s plus tax I suppose.

 

You need a new truck.

 

Most of the 20, was the gas getting there. Traveled 15 miles round trip, gets 7 mpg in a modified Toyota.
4.50 x 2 = 9
Burger = 10
Total bill..... 20 bucks.

 

I feel your pain, I'm in OC and can attest that trailer prices are crazy right now! A year ago, on a whim I sold a small (8x12) single axle for way too cheap thinking that I could replace it with a 18' double axle for less than $3K. Nope, anything in that size is pushing $5K

To the OP, you may want to look into renting a small U-Haul trailer for the Quad. They're still around ~$40 a day and work well. I am able to fit my TRX300 in the back of my short-bed Taco but my TRX450R is too wide to slide between the fender-well's.


Here's a local rental trailer I used a couple of months ago to make a dump run. Taco towed it fine with about the same weight as a Quad would have been:

 

If only

 

Ok, I’ll look into this. Sounds like a plan. Thanks

 

I wish! Sadly he's right, a burger, fries and a drink at a decent non-fast food place in the LA/OC area will be pushing $20. Not counting the gas to get there LOL!
