ok so i have a outlander 800 bike i just bought. i was wondering if the bike can fit on a straight bed ranger. measuring from outer most of the tire to tire is about 54 inches. and if you pics of bikes on your bed just post them up. to see if its worth buying a ranger

 

No need to make 2 threads, some one will answer eventually. People do put quads in the beds of their Rangers all the time, it depends on the size of the bike though.

 

My Yamaha Raptor 700 fits.

 

my Prairie 360 fits but the front tires barely fit thru fenderwells. could climb over i guess. plenty of roo mfor more

 

By the Ranger and get a trailer even if it does fit.

 

Mine fits, but watch out for that back window. I think my Eiger is about the same length as your Outty so becareful.

 

any pics guys????
i really do not want to buy a trailor. and i rather have a smaller ranger than a f150.

 

We just had a thread like this a couple months ago.


It should fit, but it will be VERY tight. I wouldn't reccomend it, but I have an 07 700 grizz on 29.5's and some other stuff, I wouldn't touch it anywhere near the bed of my ranger!

I have to ask you though...how is your bike 54" wide? Mine is almost 55" wide and I have 29.5's and SRA (5+2 I believe) offset wheels (can't get too much wider w/o ext. a arms.

My advice, either way (ranger or f150) buy a trailer. 5x8 will be perfect. I HATE putting a bike in the bed, espeically when it's broken ;(

I live in s. fla too...where you riding at? Holey lands is going to be closed soon, you still ride at 8th st.

 

yea im still at the lake by 8th street. i pretty much just measured the outer most of the front tires to the outer most of the other tire and got a little more than 54. thats why i said 54 inches. i also go to max's fish camp alot. we should try to meet up one day

 

oh and i really want this to work, im buying a cheap ranger just for this. i dont have any room for a trailor. i have a ramp and everything just to try this out. but i dont know any1 with a ranger.

 

My friends (02Rangermayhem) honda trx450r fit in his bed no problems.

He had a toolbox, so the front wheels went on top it that, and he strapped it down.

Didn't need a ramp either. Two people could easily lift it up.

I see you live in miami, where do you take your ATV's out?

HolyLand?

 

when i had my 400ex it fit just fine in my short bed with no need for straps.

 

He goes to 8th street and Macks Fish Camp a lot. I usually ride out at Holey Lands though. It's closing July 1st so I have to get as much riding in as possible.

It will work. You can get a bike in the bed of the ranger. As long as it's low and you have ramps, you can do it, not saying it won't be tight.

An F-150 will be a lot easier, but the ranger will do. I've seen it plenty of times.

 

That sucks ***..

 

my arctic cat fits in my bed, but i found an amazing deal on a mint trailer. i paid 100$ and im pretty sure its 4x8 or 3x6

 

i have that same trailer i got it from harbor freight tools for like 200 there not the best though but for occasional atv towing or lawn mower there good

 

thats where i got the rails

 

My 2001 Polaris Magnum didn't fit in the back of my ranger with the tailgate closed. Also one wheel had to drive over a wheel well. It really is 1000x easier to use a trailer.
