Probably not your answer but,.....when my car died I bought a 2003 Toyt Tacoma. Took off the bed ( which I sold for $1200 ) and made a flatbed frame which I covered with plywood. I added air bags ( from AIR-LIFT $ 200 ) to compensate for the extra weight. Spyder rides facing forward so windshield is not an issue........Mike

Proper name is Ameri-Deck not Ameri-Lift.....Spyder is 62.5" wide, so this deck lifts over end gate opening and settles into box above wheel wells(trike still sits within box). Full size trucks( above wheel wells )are at least 64" wide.
The trick to lifting your Spyder up to that height in a pickup?
Having the pickup properly configured to safely handle the load...
If it's got a Heavy-Duty package of some sort... (HD springs, axles, lower gearing, etc...), you should be okay...
I have heard that Ford has a package that is pretty much designed for those campers that you stuff into the truck bed...

Slide in campers, had one for years we used in our F150. Towed our ATVs in a trailer behind. Never an issue.
