| In June I trailered down from Michigan. Trailer had a flat, but other than that worked ok. I was thinking if there would be a benefit to just loading it in the back of the truck, and heading down that way?
I wouldn't have to worry about trailer bearings, tires etc... and I would think I would getter mpg...
I have seen pictures of people loading the in back, and using 2x8's run under the tires to take some of the load off of the tailgate...
Thoughts?
Please let me know Thanks, Ty

| That would work Ty but I think the only Cons are when driving so far I like to see out of my rear view mirror and you have no bed space left for misc items if needed but if you don't have a problem with those two things go for it. | |

| Use the trailer. It's lots easier using a small trailer than loading a Rzr in a pickup box. Also lots safer... | |

| I use a trailer because it just scares the bejeebers out of me trying to load the Joker WAY up there into the 4-wheel drive dually!!!!! And I ain't scared of anything but my ex-wife and her attorney. | |

| I've done both, if you have a stock regular RZR ( 50 ) inch wide long bed it works ok. I will be carring one in the truck and one on a trailer for the fall ride from Ohio myself. GOOD LUCK with which ever desision you make. | |

| The RZR will fill the bed up & no room to spare for your gear/camping stuff. I recommend a trailer | |
