ATV in the bed...

I am considering getting an ATV and was wondering will most of them fit in the bed of a 91 xcab? I know I've seen it done where the back wheels sit on the tailgate but wasn't sure if it had to be a smaller atv or not. I would like something 4wd but other than that I dont really have a clue.

It snowed a bit this past weekend and I'm kinda jealous of all my neighbors having a blast in the snow.

buddies and I have been able to fit Yamaha Blasters, and a 4x4 Polaris Trail boss in the back of his short bed Taco, and be able to close the tailgate..

ditto my kfx400 with long travel a-arms and a +2 inch wider stance just squeezes between the bed rails on my 6 ft bed. i put the ramps under the quad and leave the tail gate down but without the ramps the bed will close just fine. Any wider of a stance and the bike would have a tough time fitting. Ten pounds in a five pound if ya know what i mean.

My TRX400EX had to squeez past the fenderwells in the bed. Like, a VERY tight squeeze, but it fit otherwwise, and i could close the tailgate. Plus i had room for an icechest full of "soda"

With the lightbar in i cant close the tailgate and i have to wedge the front wheels between the wheel wells.
With lightbar in>>>

My 05 Polaris 600 Sportsman fit in the back of my 87 but barely. Remember to always make sure the ATV does not hit the rear glass. I found out the hard way when I had to brake quickly.

thanks everyone. Now I just gotta figure out what kind of atv I want. I was thinking a used honda fourtrax would be good to start with.
