Can Side by Side Fit in Truck Bed?

Today, thanks to the versatility of modern vehicles and the ingenuity of their engineers, side by side UTVs can fit in the bed of a truck. The key to making this happen is understanding the truck bed size and weight capacity, as well as the dimensions and weight of your particular side by side.

The most common truck bed size is 6’6” long and 5’ wide. This means that if you want to fit a side by side in a truck bed, it needs to be shorter than 6’6” and narrower than 5’.

You also need to consider the height of your UTV, as most trucks have beds that are no taller than 18-20 inches. If your UTV is too tall for this height limitation, you may need to look into a trailer or other hauling solution.

The next factor to consider is weight capacity. Most trucks have an average payload capacity of 1,500-2,000 lbs., so if your side by side weighs more than that, you may have trouble loading it into your truck bed safely. It is important to check your vehicle owner’s manual for exact payload capacity specifications.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, while it may be possible to fit a side by side UTV in a truck bed depending on size and weight restrictions, it is important to research both the vehicle’s payload capacity and the size/weight of your UTV before attempting this task.
