ATV / Lawnmower Trailer Inside the bed a truck ?!? - Eliminates having a separate trailer

What happens here

Observe the truck's suspension with a full load, including a stand-on mower (Wright Stander I) and an ATV (Honda Rancher ES), to note its stability. The featured F-250 has stock suspension, demonstrating the rack's capability without modifications. For continuous heavy use, beefing up the rear springs (as done on the company's daily use truck) is an option. The empty rack weighs approximately 450 lbs, and the system allows for the simultaneous hauling of both machines, with the ATV's engine weight contributing to the load. The system can be easily removed in 10-15 minutes, allowing the truck to be repurposed or swapped, eliminating downtime. In Maryland, this setup does not require a DOT number, as the combined weight is typically under 10,000 lbs (check local regulations).

Goal: Understand the weight capacity, impact on truck performance, and operational advantages.

Tools and materials

  • ATV — Part of the demonstration load
  • Pickup Truck — The vehicle demonstrating load capacity
  • The Ramp Rack The Ramp Rack — The installed truck bed extension
  • Upgraded Rear Springs — Enhancing truck suspension for heavier loads (optional modification)
  • Wright Stander I Mower Wright — Part of the demonstration load

What they say

metal. Yeah. What I want you guys to look at is this is a pretty decent load on this truck at this point. And the truck actually looks like it's riding pretty good. And this is an F250. That's that's stock suspension. Um the one that we use every day. We did um replace the the rear springs to just beef it up a little bit. Wyatt said something that I'm I wanted to bring to your attention was because he said his F 350 DY wasn't ready and so he had his F250 3/4tonon pickup truck ready and I thought that's actually good because I don't want guys thinking that they need an F350 a DY they can actually get by with a single axle F250 but the Yeah, the one we actually use in the field is an F250 just the same as this one. So, it's exactly the same as this truck. Um, I'll take that. Thank you, Kylie. Appreciate that. You did a good job, didn't you, guys? Try my best. Most 3/4 ton and up trucks you can leave completely stock depending on what load you're hauling it. So, I want you guys to look at this load, right? So, he's got his mower up front. Then he's got his four-wheeler in the back, the engine to the four-wheeler. So, it's a little bit back heavy. Then, plus you got the trailer on it, but the truck is actually handling it. Wyatt just literally drove almost 600 700 miles with this just to get here today. So, it obviously must be able to handle it pretty decent. This wasn't around the corner for them. And um you know, obviously most bunggees um most ratchet straps you can fit right in there so you can secure whatever you're putting up their gas cans. We've actually made this 24 in wide. And the thought behind that was um obviously as you guys know, you can't necessarily fit a ride-on mower in every yard. So, we throw a push mower up there just in case. Um, a 21in push mower will fit fit perfect up there. I love the thought you put into this thing, man. I mean, this is what made I'm going to sound corny. This is what made America. [music] I mean honestly guys that seen a vision then built that vision and then took that vision to the next level and kept improving it and modifying it. And obviously this guy works in the industry otherwise he wouldn't know how to build all these little little nuances into it so that you were trying to make your own life easier weren't you? Um, we wanted to close down our route density. And a lot a lot of that has to do with, you know, catching the neighbor's eyes as they're coming home or leaving to go to work. And, um, this, you…
