    Some of the areas we hunt are pretty remote and a lot of guys run Atv's in the pick up beds
    So the questions is how do you secure it with composite bed?Are the tie downs in the bed strong enough?Still not a 100 percent sure it will fit width wise.
    Thanks

    Ratchet straps?:notsure:
    Do you have drings in your bed? If not I'd install one in each corner of the bed with the big bolts already there and use 1.5 inch ratchet straps. Assuming the atv fits lol

    The D rings hold fine. I’ve had my Rincon, Rancher and TRX250 in my long bed. With the Rincon and the Rancher, I had to leave the tailgate open but the 250 fit fine with the gate closed.

    Those d rings can hold more than you think. If it makes you feel better, I sure theres some aftermarket ones that are beefier. Probably don't need them though.

    I said it likely wouldn’t fit. My neighbor’s barely fit in his full sized Ram. Length is probably ok with the tailgate down, but width is too much. You can look up width specs for your atv and check the width dimensions for your bed

    Well it wasn't me that asked last time.Not concerned wether it will fit- concerned with the anchor points/ d rings handling it especially off road.Or if there is any after market recommendation on other mounting systems.

    I was able to cram my Grizzly 700 (stock wheels/tires in my long bed. It rubbed big time but fit. I took the tailgate off because I didn’t want it bouncing around. I used the factory D rings and 3 straps, held fine.

    I believe there are bed stiffeners out the with mounts built in for straps if you wanna go further than the factory ones

    Buy a trailer.

    Trailers are multifunctional.

    Stronger tie down points.

    No worries about fitment issues.

    Much safer to load and unload.

    DCLB and 700lb Suzuki king quad. Truck handled it great actually drove very smooth with the added weight. Stock suspension but have OME rear shocks

    The tires rub on the bed inner fenders and could almost close the tail gate with the quad all the way up.

    I moved it back 6” because I didn’t want it to blow out my back window.
