Well if not you could always stand one up. I've seen that done a few times now.

I have never specifically had 2 big reds in my truck but have had many other combinations of 3 wheelers in there and with one backed in they should fit no problem....

Not sure of the size but F150 extracab so short box fits 2 sx's with room for gas and air.
Not sure I have a pic of the es but it fills it pretty good.

I can fit two 250es in the back of my 5x8 trailer with room left over. the trailer has 2 foot sides on it, so nothing is hanging out of the 5x8 area either. if you leave your tailgate down i would think you would be more than golden

3 will fit. Put them all in sideways. Hauled em like this all my life. Granted that was a 8ft box. But with a 6.5. I have hauled a KLT 200 and 2 110's with plenty of room to spare. You'll haul 2 this way without even thinking twice.

I had a Mazda b2200 shortbox. Had a 350x in backwards and a 83 250r in forwards. The 250 is wide so the one rear wheel was sort of on the box side to shut the tailgate. Once shut, we just jumped on the pegs and it slid right in, nice and tight. No straps needed for a 2 hour drive.

The next time you get three in a box please post a photo. I have to let most of the air out of all 3 tires to get my 200 Yamaha into my Avalanche box and be able to close the tail-gate.

You can really fit quite a bit in the box... here is mine with a 200s, ytm 200, and a 225dx although the tailgate did not close like this. I think the best I ever managed was 2 250r's and a 200x, both 250r's had the fenders off but the tailgate was closed. It can be a puzzle at times but you can fit anything in there with some creativity.

I have done 3 in my 73 dodge w100 just like ebaccm26 did only the three I had in the back were an 81 200, 83 185's and a ytm 225 dxwhich was at the back and tucked right in to allow the tail gate to close but this is also an 8' box as well. I have a pick somewhere of two trikes in the back of a 99 ford ranger too. I will look for it.

They are essentially triangles, put the shapes together to make a square. My uncle hauled a 200x and a 250r in the back of his ranger 15 years ago all the time.

Everytime i go out i throw two big reds in my dodge 2500 6ft bed. Backing in the 84 the 82 pulls right in. I have to pull the rear tire of the backed in one to the side of the bed thryvfit nicely. Both still have tires inflated and racks on

I fit 4 machines in a Ford Ranger 6-8 years ago at TF. Trying to locate pictures that was taken. I fit 2 Polaris Scramblers, 2 ATC70's and a 1986 125m in the back of my F150 ( 6 1/2 ft bed ) for TF10 or TF11. Yes there are pictures of that load floating around too. It's all in how you do it. LOL

I was VERY close to buying a Avalanche brand new when I bought our Trailblazer LTZ in the fall of 01,but glad I didn't. We already had a truck lol. Here ya go,I can actually post these pics because they're in my pb account :) If I would have had too,I could have easily got a Trail Buddy,Zinger or 70 in there very safely :).

Hauled a honda 250r quad, blaster and gas cans in a little Toyota pickup with the tail gate closed. Just stand them up.

Yesterday I had a 86 200x, a 86 350x, and two 84 250r's in my 6.5 box. Now the 350x and the 250's had the swingers taken off. There was also a bunch of parts in there as well and my ex-cab was full of fenders and gas tanks and a tub full of parts.
