Marty, the length is moot ........ the width of the Spyder and the wheel wells of the truck are going to be the biggest issue first .... jmho ... Mike [emoji106][emoji106]
Yes I thought it would be too much weight behind rear axle. So now we are stuck with me riding behind him hauling his Vic cross-country in a lowhauler. Which I don't really mind. Lol...when we get to a spot where he wants to ride we can park and ride around that area. If anyone has another idea let me know. The 7ft lowhauler was purchased for my Vegas 8ball that I no longer ride and his CC.
I did not mean to cause any controversy with my question......good thing I did not ask about motor oil or tires
At some point I will potentially get the Rampage system.....it seems to be the lesser of the evils. Will just have to address the windshield at that point.
Why don"t you just buy you a 6' by 10' trailer with low swing axle and 14" tires on it. You can tie your three wheels, and it is not going to move! Please make sure trailer is 6 ft inside, so you have room on each side for your wide front!
otherwise trailer Just always point spyder in right direction! (Into the wind ,not breaking the windshield!)

I may have to look at a 7 ft wide enclosed cargo trailer that can be modified/converted into a smaller version of a toy hauler/camper.
My lady and I travel with just such a rig. With the Tundra pick-up, we pull a 7x12 V-nose box trailer, purchased with a pop-out tent/bed down one side and an awning down the opposite. Full-wide ramp in the rear makes loading a snap; however, space inside the trailer is pretty much taken up by the F3 and assorted plastic boxes to hold all our camping gear and such. Pingel removable front wheel chocks can be taken up and out of the way when we're living inside the unit. Microwave and toaster oven, plus a one-burner Coleman stove, take care of cooking chores. A few built-in cabinets in the Vee provide storage. Wired for 12V and 120V lighting.
Makes for a nice way to get to far away places, set up camp and do daily loop rides until we've explored the area; then, break camp and truck on to the next POI.

Thanks for everyone responses.
Are you kidding? There will always be people saying it can't be done, or my way is the only way. Just read through the opinions and choose what works for you!
You will surely die a horrible death with that rig. It is making the Spyder sit to high destabilizing the truck. Like these have for decades:
But the spyder is streamlined &

The goal was to pull a teardrop camper with the pickup and then some how address how to take the spyder.

A couple of watchits for that system. First, you probably should take the windshield off. That's about a 10 minute job is all. They aren't designed to withstand 80 mph wind backwards. The other is if you are pulling a trailer and have the Rampage installed you need to have the tailgate down. Depending on the height and location of the trailer tongue jack stand it can hit and crunch the tailgate, particularly when you go through dips. You have to allow for that. I hauled my Goldwing from Louisiana to Idaho parked on an 8' long 2 x 12 plank in the short bed of the pickup. To avoid the tailgate hitting the top of the jack stand I took it off. I didn't care if the plank hit the jack stand.

[QUOTE=marty1096;1208204]I did not know Kendon made a fold up for a trike. I have a single rail Kendon I am looking to sell with a spare used it 3 times like new. Bought it last year. Thanks for info!
The Kenton trike/Spyder hauler is very new, just in the past month or two.
I have the American lift in my GM 3/4ton short box. We travel from Alberta to Arizona with the Spyder safely tied down(extra straps on the full cover) no rubbing,perfectly clean! The lift is hydraulic,electric with a remote that moves the deck fromflat on the ground (for easy tie down)over the end gate opening(only 60 inches) to settle inside the truck box over the wheel wells.

Amerideck.com explains all and lists distributors. Note the deck is 58 inches wide and an RT is 62.5 so there is a 2 inch overlap on each side. This does not present a problem at all(plenty of support under each tire. as most full size truck boxes are at least 65 inches wide rail to rail. Also check you tube videos.
OTE=Johnny_Swindle;1210129]Very nice...
Do you have the web address for the company??[/QUOTE]

Very nice....I an holding off on buying a loading system for a few months as I am having to buy a car for my daughter.

Please don't listen to these folks that think it can't or shouldn't be done................... It is super easy to load a Spyder in the bed of a pickup and you will never even notice it is back there. About 45 seconds.
1. Buy a Harbor Freight tri fold ramp and cut hinges off to separate it. (less than $100.00)

I would love to but the parking garage has a hard time realizing that my spyder is at the gate and can't get in. I am attempting to the the manager to provider a solution.
