Can't see it loading a Trike,just a 2 wheeler
Here's another option from Mountain Master
Now some one really came up with a slick deal there
TO JC
My gmc 1500 sierra is 6 foot 6 inches in the bed. My problem is my trike with the long rake is 100 inches,just to the back of the rear wheel not counting the body. I dont know how to post a video or picture but i'll try. BETTER YET SEND ME A NUMBER AND I'LL TEXT YOU A PHOTO.
^....Looks like the easiest to unload without stopping to pull numerous locking pins in any particular order.
Don't know how it goes on/up into the bed?
Isn't it weird that in AMERICA, our flag and our culture offend so many people...but our benefits don't???

Here's how....
So here is my new issue....Got rid of the F150 and bought a Ram 1500 / 5.7 Hemi {couldn't resist} I just realized the load capacity is only 1500 pounds. The Trike is over 1300 without a damn thing in the trunks....that means the lift has to be under 200 lbs. to put it at my max. capacity....That kinda sucks!
Or beef the suspension up. I don't know if these little trucks have leaf springs or coils but if leafs you can add more of them and if coils you can get heavier rated or for just a little bit more capacity I suppose shocks with coils might help. That's probably the cheapest way but you won't be adding much. But a business that specializes in suspensions can do the job right and get you more weight capacity. You can easily turn a half ton into a three quarter ton but that's basically what you will be doing. The engine can handle it. Being a Dodge though, I'm honestly not sure about the frame. I've done this very thing with Chevys. Works just fine.Stops the squat.
The only reason some people are still alive is it's illegal to shoot them.

When I was actually trailering my 2 wheeler out to Sturgis. I would back into a ditch and load it up that way. I don't know why it wouldn't work for a trike. I now ride my bike or trike everywhere. Riding to an event is part of the Adventure.

I guess.....but I left North Central TN just over two weeks ago - Snowing.....Bike in trailer to War Horse HD in Ocala {Great dealer with parking for the truck and trailer} 10 days of both coasts and Everglades. So not having the trailer for that Adventure would have meant no adventure, I ride in Cold....not Snow and Ice. I have a few friends that try to give me hell about my trailers....But they spend more time waiting on weather where I can trailer to it!
JC, That's what I would like to do too. My wife and I have been to the Sturgis Rally every year since 1999. The first 4 or 5 years we trailered our bike thinking we could never make the trip. The sixth year, we didn't plan on going since the gas prices were so high. My wife came up with a plan, that if we ride the bike out we could save some money on the gas. So every year since then we ride our bike out. Needless to say, it's more fun going out than it is coming home. Heh, nothing wrong with trailering. Stay safe. Jerry

Too Funny - All of my Sturgis runs came when I lived north of Chicago. I had to make three turns inside of 15 minutes to get on 94 west...950 miles of boring Hwy with a 100% chance of rain. We ended up trailering in 2013 and 2015....worked out great. Got there faster...never had to get the rain gear on.....and a few nights in town for either rain or Adult Beverage night....it was nice to have the truck. Last time there we ended up putting damn near 1700 miles on the bike.....all nice riding....
we trailer our trike too but we use an enclosed trailer and when we unload the bike we blow up the air mattress which is about 15 inches thick and sleep in the trailer and yes I have installed air conditioning and a cooler. so it works out for us and also it only takes a few minutes to break camp and go haul in fellow biker if broke down.
