[D Fresh]

If you had stood it up vertically you would had seen how much wind resistance they have. And it is a LOT!

And he would,xt have to wait to plug it in.

A couple of quick quetions, if I may. If you know, how much did that bike weigh? What was that drive like? I've been considering a similar receiver bike ramp/mount for my 400lb Honda Rebel. Any feedback on your experience would be helpful.

Sorry for the late reply, only saw this now. A BMW R1250GS is about 550lbs. Within the payload of the Ranger Raptor, and well within that of the leaf-sprung Ranger. I was concerned about the receiver hitch though. Since the rack was only attached at that one point, it seemed like a lot of stress for that area. I would've felt better if there were at least two hitch points.

I can flush a dozen golf balls on the golf course without the toilet! (or the Ranger)

Let’s see pics of what you have put in the 5’ bed

motorcycles
Dirt bikes
4wheelers
Bricks
Dry wall
Lumber
Etc etc

please share what you’ve had in the bed and describe what it is and approximate weight and size.

There's already a similar thread which I'll merge it to.

I might as well add to it. lol Here's the bed all packed up from our trip back in June. There might have been room for one or two more bags from Annie's shopping sprees. ?

Here's my 28inch wide snowblower, It's around 350lbs :

and here's my atv, it's around 800lbs:

and some recovery gear when my buddy with a crosstrek thought he had a real 4x4

Two swags on top, another 600lbs of gear in the bed on our recent trip.

For me at this point, posting a pic of the bed of my truck, falls into the “no act too degrading” category.

I mean, one of those old guy grab handle style 3 step folding ladders and a couple of worn moving pads?

No recovery gear, no emergency tool box (maybe a little too much faith in Quality is Job 1?), no ratchet straps, no ice cleats or snow shoes?

Nah, I’ll pass for now. When it starts looking like the truck I bought it for and not some mall cruiser, then.

~ 1/2 cord of *somewhat* seasoned red maple and ash.

Just picked up 1800lbs of rock and didn't get a picture. Darn.

2000lbs of concrete, woops. That stuff is way heavier than I taught.

Adjusted the load in subsequent runs to the dump.
