    Has anyone tried to load a 48" zero turn (in this case Hustler Raptor) in a 6' bed of a 2nd Gen access cab? If so, did it work well? Any advice? I have ramps.

    It’s going to have to go above the wheel wells to have any chance of fitting.

    It might be possible to squeeze it in, but even if you can you're going to be better off using a trailer. I'd haul that with a trailer even if I had an 8' bed on a full size truck.

    Trailer it.

    The only way it has a chance to fit is backing it into the bed. Then the deck MIGHT sit behind the trucks wheel bumps.

    Whatever you do....strap it down.

    Thanks all. I borrowed a trailer and it was easy. Thanks for talking me out of doing something I might have regretted.
