TRUCK BED LOADING SYSTEMS
Truck bed loading systems...I keep hearing about them, but I have yet to see one in person. With the help of my RC Team, we have gathered information on various designs. There are a lot of variables to keep in mind when searching for the best loading system. For example, height from the ground to your truck bed. Do you want a system that you need to drill and bolt down or more of a versatile style that's easier to take in and out as needed. Also the length of bed. Some are designed for your tailgate to be down, some are not rated to include your truck tailgate. How much does your motorcycle weigh? What is your truck rated to haul? Of course we can't forget the detail of cost!
Below you will find a chart that has clickable links and some general guidelines and facts to make your search a little easier. Please keep in mind that the majority of these manufacturers have different accessories to fit your specific needs.
Happy Shopping!
