I have a tilt bed trailor. You just pull a pin and it tilts down like a ramp, drive on and it tilts up when the weight passes the center point, put the pin back in and your ready to go. it drives off just as easy........

Forget about something that complicated. When we need to load something with wheels into a truck we just back the truck into a hill and push or drive whatever we need in the bed down the hill into the back of the truck. :P I dunno that I''d go out and buy a truck with a tilting bed just for a bike. Plus I''m trying to go pretty small with a truck since I won''t really be using it on a farm or anything. Just moving stuff around mostly. Thanks for the input guys.

I think I posted a whole thread about this with pics - but I have a ram long bed (currently in the shop after some 17 year old cut in front of me!

) and it fits the f4i just fine with about 1.5 feet to spare, and the tailgate up. I also have a black widow 9 or 10 foot ramp, can''t remember exactly but it works great

the ramp reminds me of the video awhile back of a guy loading his bike up in a Uhaul...long story short, he made it halfway, stopped, and then fell over the edge...
