If you have a trailer hitch on back of your SxS, you can use the trailer (that you used to haul SxS) to haul stuff in places you don't want to take pickup. I have hitches on front and back of my Mule, the one on front makes it easy to get trailers into and out of some sticky places.

Just went out to our county-sponsored motorcycle/ATV/UTV/4WD playground this morning. About 1000 acres of hills and trails. I passed one of these, with a trailer and 6 dirt bikes!!! Just because you can doesn't mean you should. With as cool as this is, think of it this way...lifted truck, at or above 'legal' payload on a 3/4 ton truck with a much higher center of gravity. Hypothetically speaking, if that feller gets in a wreck what do you think his insurance would say? I'm no tow police but the older I get I tend to start thinking about this kind of stuff, especially with the idiots on the roads now a days.

I loaded my Polaris ATV in my F150 twice. Sold my ramps and bought a trailer. Best thing I ever did. We had a guy on lease that put the front end of his ATV through the rear window. Had to drive 4 hours home in subfreezing temps.

I’ve had 4 wheelers for a long time. Now on my third pair. I built a custom trailer that got stolen. Since then, I have just used Harbor Freight ramps to put them in the bed of my pickup. I put them in gear, set the brakes and tie them down to my tool box. Never had a problem and I have plenty of trailers.

BTW, I use cheap Harbor Freight ramps. No problem.

Bent the first set of ramps a little when loading a Rhino in my truck for a friend. I bought another set rated for the weight and no problem with it after that. hauled it around for him several times after a trailer was stolen. No issues with it sitting with the rear wheels sitting on the tailgate. If it will handle loading with the ramp and UTV weight loading it will handle the weight of the rearend wheels sitting on it hauling.

I haul a Honda pioneer utv on a flatbed of a slightly lifted truck and have done so for years on three different trucks. Probably load and unload it 150 times a year and never had an issue.

Bought one and sold ramps after loading my Polaris in the Supercrew a few times. Not only is it much easier to load and upload but frees up my bed which I need for other things.
