I’m looking to buy my girls a 170 for Christmas or two small quads. The predicament I am in is that the 170 won’t fit in my toyhauler with my RZR (14.5′ garage area).

This leaves the option to put it in the pickup bed. I have a Ram 2500 and the bed length is 76.8" (per Google). I measure a little over 75" with the tailgate up. On paper the 170 is 85". I know that the 170 will definitely fit with the tailgate down, but that’s not an option. I can’t tow my toyhauler with my tailgate down.

I’ve looked into ATV risers for the pickup bed, but I have concerns about the clearance of the mini Rzr.

How do you guys that own these transport them in your pickup bed? For those without an 8′ box, do you just remove the tailgate or use risers?

I plan on heading out Saturday and I’m either getting the quads or the 170. Thanks for any help.
