I'm curious to see how everyone else transports their KLX when the destination is too far to ride. I was praying the KLX would fit in the back of the wife's Avalanche with the tail gate up so I can still tow a camper so I decided to find out yesterday.



I added a few tie downs just for good measure but it's wedged in there so snug it's not going anywhere. Now I need to start planning some Colorado camping trips for next year.

 

Whatever it takes. The more restricted the better. Looks pretty solid in the picture.

one other possibility is to make up a sort of Reese hitch deal on the back of the trailer to carry a bike rack set up. My one friend did it on the front of his truck to carry his pit bikes when towing his fifth wheel trailer on his truck. One more shot is if there is enough room to put a channel on the trailer tongue. Just some thoughts.

 

I haul mine is a Toyota Tacoma double cab short bed. 5' bed. Have to leave the tail gate down. Strap off each side of the handle bars and crank it down till the forks are bottomed out.

Hauled it 300 miles in one trip this way. No issues never moved a bit.

I wish I could put the tail gate up but these midsize quad cab trucks have such tiny beds.

 

Tacoma double cab here too, but I'm to old to ramp up that high anymore. My trailer floor is only 15" high, plus after riding all day, then driving home, I pull in my driveway, and walk into the house. Before this, I had a hitch carrier.

 

 

Is that hydrodipped or is that a wrap? Tell us more about that camo!

as for the OP, I have a Tundra with a 6.5 foot bed. I can get my bike in there by itself on a diagonal, but then nothing else fits. If I want to take two bikes, they have to be straight, so I got one of those bed-extenders. Best money I've spent in a long time.

 

Here's my ride.

 

Xt225....?

 

I have a slammed Ranger:



I can roll the bike up the ramp into the truck, tie it down, then unload it alone. I can roll it up, stop it and step up into the bed to finish moving it around and tying it down. Easy loading of anything. I can almost reach from one side to the other while standing beside it. Best thing I ever did with my trucks. I ride the bike off road, not the truck, so I don't care about clearance and all.

Then there is the 5x10 enclosed trailer with the drop gate back that my wife and I share. She puts her craft display and product in in for a couple months from Oct-Dec. I have it if I want for the rest of the year.

 

It's a wrap.
