RE: Looking at a truck
my bike fit in a 93 ranger splash(flare side) bed...I think thats the smallest bed made by a tuck too(6" and narrow)and the gate would barley shut with my bike sideways in the bed.
a bike should fit in any size bed whether the gate will shut or not, as long as its strapped down good its not going anywhere.

RE: Looking at a truck
any truck will fit the bike, some with tailgate up some with it down, shortest bed ive ever seen is 6 foot and with the tail gate down it makes it about 7-8feet long and the bike is only 6.5feet or something like that. Get a good ramp and you wont need a high spot to load the bike. just make sure you have a ramp that is about 8 feet long.

The ramp is the problem. If you've never had to stop on a ramp then try it. Also finding your footing if need be its not fun.

RE: Looking at a truck
Alright thanks guys, I was looking at something like this maybe http://www.discountramps.com/smc-600...cle-hauler.htm it's just $250 and looks to be a little less luggage than a trailer. I dunno, I'm just trying to consider my options for another vehicle.I would hate to get rear ended with something like that on though, it would hurt.
