Thread: Rhino In Chevy shortbed question

    Anyone know if I can put a Yamaha Rhino in the bed of shortbed Chevy 1500 and close the tailgate a bit or take the tailgate off and the back tires hang off the rear end a little. Im pulling a travel trailer and cant pull it with the tailgate down.. Thanks for the input..

    Will not work, there is a tread on glamis dunes where guys fabbed an attachment in the hitch receiver. You take off the tailgate and put this peice on. It may save you a few inches but not much. Other than that you need to go vertical and at an angle. This seems like a lot of work and a pain to put in and out of the bed.

    Short bed no way. You need all the gate. I have the 1500 short bed and have had 2 Rhinos. I'm not even sure how much room is left after the tail gate is down.
    Rhino wheel base is 6'3" then you have to add for the front portion of the Rhino against the front of the bed - It's a bummer but you are out of real estate.

    How bout rigging up your own bed extension with a little 1/4 steel plate bolted into the back end? Or even some plywood????

    here is mine in a short bed. I put jack stands under the rear of the chassis at the end of the bed as to take the weight off the tailgate cables.

    I put one in the back of my F150 Screw. Tailgate down. My bed is 5'6". Jackstand method.
    I also removed the front bumper. No probs!

    I'm surprised a lot of people put a Rhino in those truck beds. Sure seems like a big risk for damage when a thousand dollar trailer would prevent it. :idea:
