What would be the purpose? The line would rub against your bed and tailgate during a pull.

I didn't even think of that, but why wouldn't you be able to just drive it in there?

pulling dirtbikes and atvs into the bed is different then wheeling and recovery. just mount it to the hitch. structurally, that is the strongest point.
