Thanks for the info on loading an ATV into a truck.

Now I just need an ATV.... and a pickup truck.

I prefer to set up a ramp about 10 feet behind the truck and jump my ATV into the bed

I live in Berlin, Germany. I don‘t have an ATV. I don‘t have a truck. We have no trials here. Why am I watching this?

I've loaded thousands of pieces of equipment on trailers and trucks, I try to get my trucks back wheels in a low spot when loading my 4 wheeler , it's just easier and safer.

Just a little thing to keep in mind for those who have an atv that will hit the glass get a good set of wheel chalks put them in front and if you get big enough chalks they will sit against the bed wall and give you a little extra room it helps when tying your quad forward and great video safety is what keeps us all riding down the trails

He really did a great job explaining this process. Well done!

Great video. I agree with strapping down the ramps, it's very important. I also agree with using heavy duty straps. Personally, I suggest using two straps on the rear of the ATV instead of one though. Straps can work themselves loose, two is always better. For max safety use four, one at each corner, the same as you would do on a trailer. I've seen some people use winches at the front to tie it down and than can damage a winch. If you have front and rear bumpers use a strap at each corner, it's easy and very stable.

Well done, slow and steady. My friend always goes way to fast when he loads his machine. I keep telling him it's gonna end bad one of these times.

I love the moveable cleat/track system in the bed of my Nissan Titan. Super versatile. Thanks reminding people to tie down their racks during use so they don’t move while driving over them. I see folks skip this step constantly.

I hadn’t seen that northsky blue in a high country but looks gorgeous!

Bought The standard Bed Truck (6' 6' bed) to better fit the 850 Max North Edition. This allows for the installation of a ratcheting cargo bar across the front of the bed to stop the ATV (with accessory front bumper) against when loading and securing from hitting the glass. Great common sense video for people who actually use their pickup trucks.

love the videos, but a few things I found that helped me was actually loading on an incline, which makes the ramp climb less severe. Also, you mentioned pulling the front of the bike down, but also putting a strap from the front of the bike to the rear truck tie down so it definitely wont go forward and strap the rear of the bike to the front truck tie down.... thx for the vids.

I like to load with a knee on the seat. That way if anything happens it's easier to jump clear of it.

Looks cold....thank god i live in the south lol....I ALWAYS recommend standing up while loading so you can see where you're headed and if there are going to be issues..informative video, thank you

What the hell guys!? I love watching those loading fail vids. Now they’ll be in short supply.

You're getting better and better with each ensuing video. Keep up the good work!

Great video, I have a Polaris 570 ( 94" long OA), my truck has a long bed 97", so the 570 fits like a glove tailgate shut, but I really appreciate watching your technique, VERY HELPFUL thank you

i put mine in neutral and i winch it up that way no ramps going to fly out the back end :) been using this method for years

I'm so glad you made this video. Now I know how to be safe. Thank you

Amazing review or How-to! You are a seasoned pro in front of camera, and the camera work was excellent too! Have the truck, need the ATV now lol! Happy Holidays!

Here.. I'll solve that loading problem cheap and much easier. Go to the local farm store or trailer dealer. Buy the 5 or 6x8 foot small trailer. Spend 30 bucks for a better harness for your lights. Never have a potential accident again! Seriously though, I like the fact that TFL does these videos on safety. Some people amaze me doing this kind of stuff and end up it big trouble!

Excellent instructions for all those that don't know anything. And not bad for people that have been doing it wrong as well. Strapping the ramps to the truck I never see anyone doing. "watch and learn" Surprised you did not put individual straps on the back and just did 1. I used to anchor 4 points for safety. Sometimes a 5th strap over top of the whole thing to keep it from bouncing the straps loose.

great video i really love that blue on that high country

Amazing how easy it looks when you know what you’re doing! Like a boss!

Thank you!! I really like the Can Ams the best so I am so happy to know it will fit in my truck. Cant wait to pick er up!!

The ramps you can get with the fords work’s awesomely

Great vid with a couple great looking rigs

Why would anyone give this a thumbs down? Dude takes time to educate people and he gets a thumbs down. Good job buddy ?

dude that is such a nice truck. and the quad...its beautiful

I always try to make sure my machine is in 4WD... Helps take the stress off the ramps once the front wheels get to the bed. I also like to step on the foot brake (on Can-Ams) AND pull the parking brake. Brings up the brake pressure

Awesome and informative video. Thank you for sharing.

Really should use two ratchet straps to secure ATV. If one strap should fail, the other provides support. Also, would have liked a discussion demo how to unload ATV. Nice video!! Like the format and watching the snow fall. Merci

one thing you might have missed, when tying down anything that has the potentail to move back and forth you want to tie down your toy in a way where the straps or chains are either pulling the machine apart or together. from a fellow truck driver in canada god bless

Great complete video. Great stuff and thanks for doing it

As a F150 owner with short box who is looking to buy an Outlander max, this is a great video to confirm that it fits well. Thanks!

Awesome video! Thanks for the very informative demonstration!

That spec on that truck is amazing 😍

Very good video. No hipe, no grandstanding, no obnoxious, distracting music.

Nice video. I use a timber block or similar at the front of the bed to stop the ATV or whatever else goes there so I don't have to worry about contacting the glass of the cab or slamming into the bed.

That's how my cousin died, loading his atv and it fell on him, thanks for pointing out the safety of wearing a helmet

Excellent demonstration on safety !!!

Thanks for doing this ramp lesson! Two questions: 1. You say make sure the truck is level, but is there any issue with have the bed tilting down? This means the ramps are less steep. Your thoughts? 2. How do I find the load rating of my tailgate? Is it possible to overload the tailgate strap?

Great video. one thing to note those specific ramps will puncture your tailgate and you can see the tailgate was damaged on this sweet truck where the ramps was sitting on the tailgate

Great video! Question though: Does the tailgate get stone chipped by driving in the down position? And how do you feel about using the atv winch to pull it up onto the bed? Thanks.

Great video, well done. Thanks

Good video. Thanks for the tips

My 2017 nisan titan offered pretty same box add-ons. Clet system n led lights with power plug, a few years ahead of Chevy. Use an old rubber tire (without the rim, lol )to place between front of quad and front of box. It will stop it from touching or rubbing box or breaking the glass. Steady smooth throttle while loaded, one smooth roll up, not being one smooth roll up may cause more problems. Strap all 4 corners to stop it from moving forward or backward in the box, you can strap to the atv from under the atv on the frame itself to which is more stable than a big loop over strap. I donno how many atvs have slid out or into cab doing some serious damage. I miss a quad, ramps and my truck. Now with sxs and trailers, it's just different. Strap those ramps down too while loading, lol the old lumber sliding out as ramps may seem funny on video clips, but that's a flip you may not walk away from. Ride safe n enjoy. Blue atv, blue truck, blue jeans, blue jacket, and a blue touq with a blue pompom, lol sweet looking Chevy tho.

Thanks for the info dude !

Personally, I add another set of straps from the rear of the bed to the front of the ATV. That way if you have any impact or panic stop the machine doesn't shift into your window or front of bed.

The Silverado looks awesome in that colour/spec

Awesome load video!

That's a good looking High Country!

Thanks for the video and especially the tip for how to secure the ramps with a strap (I was thinking about creating some pin in hole fixation, but your tip is better). Ride on!

You put alotta faith in those tailgate cables!... I miss my old squarebox

Great video Stephen! This is why I have a Ram 1500 quad cab, instead of the larger crew cab. I'd rather have that extra foot in the bed, not the back seats. I don't want the tailgate supporting the back half of the quad for an entire trip.

As a viable alternative to using straps for keeping the ramps in place, you can also drill two holes into each of the ramp plate faces that lay flush on the top of tail gate’s edge. Along with two holes drilled into the inner tail gate where the ramps make contact. Obviously, the tail gate holes you drill will only be done once you determine the optimal placement of the ramps for your particular machine. These holes do NOT have to be massive....a quarter inch diameter is adequate. Once the ramps are in place, drop in a Clevis pin into each hole. The ramps are now “locked” into the edge of the tail gate, and it is now virtually impossible for either of the ramps to move laterally, and it’s highly unlikely one (or both) will ever “flip” on you, if you ever happen have your tires off center, and on the ramp edges during loading. This is the way we did it with our Suzuki/Yamaha dealership’s company pick up truck, when I did insurance pick ups, and transfers during the 1990s. Worked for both ATVs, and motorcycles. Except the truck had different holes drilled for loading the bikes, because you NEVER ride a motorcycle up into a pick up. It’s always pushed up one ramp, while walking up the other. So the ramps had to be closer together. I’ve never seen tie down straps used for securing ramps, but it seemed to work well for you. And I’m certainly not dumping on your method. It does seem to alleviate any potential “ramp bounce”, completely. But with the pin set up, that is minimized by loading it fairly slowly. My only concern in regard to using tie downs, is the fact that the ramp lips (although pressing down hard under tension), are not “truly” secured to the tail bed of the truck. Just my two cents, and sorry for the novel. Great overall video, and thanks for making it. 👍

ive got a max as well but have an 8ft silverado bed, fits perfect with the tailgate up.

Thanks, very helpful, but most of all, i like watching your truck and quad.. Real nice machines.. Thanks!

I do basically the same thing. 4 wheel drive and low on my grizzly. Except for tie down straps on the back end I use a Louisiana guard dog. It’s a reverse trailer hitch that locks onto the ATV trailer ball if you have one. It connects to the receiver and goose necks up. That way it locks in and you can secure it. Then I strap the front down for some added pressure.

Great video, thanks.

Good info, GREATvid! Thanks...

Very Helpful. Thank you🙏

Wow awesome Information ATV 👍👏

I USUALLY GET GOUIN ABOUT 30 MPH AND THEN SLAM ON BRAKES TO SLOW ENEOUGH TO ROLL RIGHT UP, IT WORKS EVERYTIME

Great Video , iI just purchased a2020 outlander 850 XT . the dealer i bought it from is not to informative with the different keys and modes could you do a video about the different modes and keys ?

Gracias, buen vídeo👍🇲🇽

I use ramps similar to THESE for a trailer to load mine. My trailer does not have a ramp. When I use the ramps, I strap them similar to this video but I also installed a bolting solution so I can bolt down the ramps to make sure they aren't going anywhere. After taking a spill and getting really hurt, I do not trust ramps unless they are bolted in addition to strapped.

badass truck dude!

Just ordered a Polaris sp 550 last week. I once dumped a very expensive motorcycle off a ramp loading it and bent the handlebars and put a large dent in the gastank!! So the part about securing the ramps was the key bit of info I was hoping to learn. Safety first. Along a different subject has everyone had difficulty finding new atv's for sale? they sell as fast as they come in in my city of 2 million. Thus one has to place an order and wait 5-6 weeks for their impulse buy. Thanks

Nice instructional video

Love it. Good job.

Since I might have to drive over bouncy roads with my ATV loaded, I use one strap to each side at the back to keep the rear wheels centered (it is a real pain if the rear wheels shift any significant distance; the front can be quickly turned as you back out). I actually have 4 straps, one from the front ATV strap hook to the back of the bed, one from the back ATV strap hook (or hitch) to the front of the bed and then the 2 rear side/side tiedowns. My two ramps fit under the ATV and I have a cable that holds them in place (bumpy roads can make the TFL method bounce out of the bed!)

I hope you will be reviewing this High Country on TFLTruck.

Nice presentation... i never knew how it should be done..

Well done!

Johnny's Second-Hand Ranch Down Behind the Warehouse prices are inSAAAAAAANE!

It's amazing how few people actually tie down their ramps. I see them spin their wheels on the way up, which makes me cringe. So dumb. Thanks

have the Can Am XT outlander loads very nicely into my F150 short bed as well

I would like to share when I load my ATV I have holes drilled into my tailgate and ramps and I put pins in them so the ramps don't move forward , backwards or even side to side. Just lineup your ramps with your ATV wheels and drill the holes and it's set. Drill two holes per side of ramp. I use coupler pins. Hope this helps

I use those same ramps and find them very slippery, especially in the winter here in Canada. I'm surprised there was no wheel slip. Be careful!

Hi! Thanks! How well my 2021 Honda Ridgeline would take a 2022 Honda Rubicon 520 do you think? According to me the truck has the payload capacity and the bed has enough width but maybe I am forgetting a detail that would prevent me from properly loading this atv…

Great video! Easy Sub!

Wow awesome Video 👍

Im towing my quad on my rzr utility trailer, this time I'm not beat up my 2019 Silverado like my 2015 in the past I did alot scratches in the tail gate and bed liner.

It makes a change to see a loading video going right!

What’s the load capacity of the tailgate? Very informative and use tips. Nice quad too.

love it good job

Just saw this. Awesome video... Years ago, I was loading a tractor on my pickup and the right ramp slid out. My buddy was standing right next to me and simply made it so I didn't have the tractor fall on me as I went over. Also, was loading a Harley in a truck and my ex-buddy was like get the truck as level as possible, when I wasnt using any tethers. The bike kicked out the ramp... Crap day.

Hello. Cool choice! Do you have a short or standard pickup truck body

Good Footage!!!

I love that blue on the Silverado Goes well with the blavk atv 😍😍

I’m debating on a Silverado 1500 crew cab standard bed as i currently have the Chevy Silverado 1500 short bed and want to haul my ATV in the bed. I typically drive 250plus miles down the interstate to trail riding destinations. Do you feel it’s safe for an ATV (Polaris sportsman 570) to ride on the tailgate all that way or just spend the money and get a standard bed? Didn’t really want a bigger truck in the driveway but need to know the longevity of an ATV on a tailgate. I don’t have the multiflex tailgate. Thanks for any help or insight

Nice very useful info 👍

I've spun out many ramps so I got a custom set of 8 foot ramps and rail for the tail got for them to hook into

How do you like that brand of ramp? Did they perform well for you?

How much faith do you have in the tailgate cables with that load? Legit question because I'm thinking of using the same set up, only with a Ram 1500 short bed.

I love watching atv load fails on youtube . Gonna search some right now.

Goin to buy the exact same outlander atv soon, i wonder if it fits on my short ram bed

Nice video
