You and me both, Glenn. I haul in the box of my truck (2006 Ram short box, almost exactly 6'), I found that a ratchet strap will hook into the end of the footpegs, I cinch the quad back against the tailgate, leaves a couple inches at the front of the box, just enough so it doesnt rub on the box cover. Oh, this may not work if you have an 06 or newer wolvie, or if you dont have tie down anchors in the lower rear corners of your pickup box. I also have a single fold ramp, it fits right between the tires once loaded. A side note, dont let your inexperienced girlfriend load the quad into the back of your buddies truck....lol :lol:
