Instead of trying to go thru drivethru, just walk inside, problem solved. Glad I could help out
Very nice. Finally, someone has conquered the dreaded loading and unloading of ATV in a truck using ramps that always seem to kick out.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
Thank you Mad-Ramps.
Who?
If your ramps kick out, it's because you are an idiot who doesn't know that you should use straps to attach them to your tow vehicle so that they DON'T kick out!!
Having one less thing to store on my small city lot makes this product a fantastic find. A great product great video!
I've been watching you guys for years and I'll say this. I've been riding since I was 7. So 13 years. When I got my license in 2016 I've always towed my machines on a 4 by 7 flat trailer. Its fast, light(When moving it around a camp site by hand) , and never in the way due to its sizes. I had a 2003 ford ranger 2.3L 4 cylinder at the time. That truck wouldn't work with these ramps because since the atv will be hanging off the back of the truck rather than in the bed more. The weight shift would be to much for that truck and it you wouldn't be able to control it safely. Now for my new half ton, no problem right. However $1000 vs a new 5 by 8 $700 flat utility trailer from tractor supply (Which is what I'm gonna buy). That's what makes it hard to justify this product. Not to mention these ramps can be stolen like many other ramps only these will leave a deep hole in your pocket. As for the thing with side by side's. That to me would be terrifying. Imagine all that weight then going up a hill. Small side by sides. Maybe... I know I'd never do it. Overall I like the idea. Its not a bad product at all and it looks like it works as intended but when you look at all the factors. These ramps are really not as good as a small trailer. This is of course my opinion. Sorry for the long comment. Riding is my passion.
Appreciate your comments. Thank you for keeping it civil!
@@dirttraxtv No problem. Keep up the good work!
I looked at those, then opted for a quad cab 6 1/2 bed. My 5x10 trailer & 14’ trailer cost less than $100/year to i sure. Maintenance is fun, not a chore.
Makes a lot of since! And for those of us that live in town. I HATE my trailer always in the way and taking up space i need. Great investment. Thanks for showing how practical this can be👍
Thanks for showing how they work. Not a single video on the Mad Ramps website showing someone loading or unloading using them.
Sold me, I can't wait to ride this spring and summer!
Wouldn’t you overload the tongue weight for the hitch with the majority of the atv weight being on the back tires?
I bought an enclosed trailer. Storage and secures your gear from sticky fingers. I have had accessories , fuel cans and even seats stolen off my quad and sleds in the past outside hotel rooms . It’s nice after a 12 hour drive to just back the trailer in the driveway , lock it up and deal with it the next day.
Its still almost a $1000 plus extras... tough sale over a trailer. Especially if you have a compact/mid size truck and not a full size.
I paid $1200 for my brand new 16 foot big Tex trailer
I have the ramps. I use them on my F150 to carry my 2017 Honda Pioneer 700. Love it. No trailer registration and its legal in all 50 states. Once loaded there isn't any weight on the tailgate. Its very robust. Nice
Hi David what is your bed size and are you still happy with the ramps?
I'm surprised no one has mentioned the snowmobile part of this? When you load your sled and then drive 200 miles to get to your riding area, these things would be frozen solid from all the road spray. You'd never get our sled off the truck!
Nice innovative solution. I have a few thoughts for improvement...
You really should better SELL and emphasize the utility of this solution for transporting UTV's more. It looks like a great solution for that.
Also, don't do a demo video that shows a very unsafe way to transport fuel 2:38. Something like a secured Roto Pax is far safer. People watch these videos and copy you.
The LED's are nice, but it needs to also come with two FLAGS to attach to the back of the ramps that stick out the back. One bigger LED should also go in a more visible spot- like on top of the vehicle being towed. Think of a rainy or foggy night- it needs to be more visible especially since the stock brake likes will be less visible from each side.
Lastly, it needs to include some type of chock for the wheels and also a lock down system. These machines will bounce around over bumps and potentially slide off or back. Something that better secures and locks down at least one wheel (to the ramp) during transport would be a big improvement.
Having a machine in the bed has some maneuverability benefits but it also puts more load on the vehicle since the trailer axle is taken out of the equation. People need to very carefully calculate their maximum weight values e.g., GVWR or if towing, GCVWR. Also, is the vehicle equipped for hauling heavy weights and are the axles, motor, tires, brakes and gearing up for the job. Consider going up or down a steep hill at night in the rain. 1,000-2,000lbs extra weight will significantly make the vehicle less stable and therefor less safe. Driving slower will be required and if towing, using a trailer brake with a separate controller inside the truck is a great idea.
“Ever tried going thru a drive tru with a trailer” , Yes I have with a bobcat on it n made it thru with no problem
Right that's what I thought too. I can think of some drive thrus where a trailer would be sketchy but its definitely doable through a lot of them.
Lol my uncle used to haul a dump trailer with a skid steer and even if he had to run over bushes and the grass he didn't care. Lmao he was lazy and was like 400lbs
Cant say I would follow behind someone with the back of their utv hanging out of the bed. A 6x10 trailer is perfect and i can also haul other things besides atvs.
Jeff I wish I could fit my side by side on my 6x10.
@@jbw5485 same, he must have a really small machine my wildcat wont fit on that haha
Trailer tires should be larger that your SXS/ UTV ATV tires. Or you will look as stupid as those ramps above.
Then again RZR tires were 26" 10 years ago.
@@Dreamscythe1 I was able to squeeze a stock defender on it and my buddy fit a talon inside his enclosed 14ft trailer
you mean the trailer that's going too fast, with bearings that have never been serviced and bald tires? nah id rather drive with this in the bed.
Hey Luke I wish all the best to your sister in law and their little girl .my family Has them in there thoughts prayers . This was the only way I could think of to get a message to your family as I don't use other fornms of social media. Glad to here they have made it home
Thank you! I'll make sure AJ sees this. All the best!
This is the coolest thing I've ever seen
How is that going to fit through a drive through and where do you put your deer?
Actually me and my brother went through a drive through that was very tight, but we made it. Some bush’s may have got smushed but we made it with a 32 foot toy hauler
U guys see that ground clearance shot from the rear when driving? Ramps getting close to ground..
So offload my ATV, go ride all day and when I get back to my truck my crazy expensive ramps are gone. That’s why they’re called mad ramps right?
Beautiful, such a well designed and great thinking .
Ok so if you don’t have room to store a trailer then this makes sense. Every comment blah blah blah about a trailer is better of course it’s better but some don’t have room to store a sxs in the garage and a trailer where? Some people live in the city not out in the boonies. So I get the ramps. After having RevArc Ramps I got for free for my atv I went trailer after a year because it’s safer but sometimes it’s cumbersome to store it especially living in the city with limited space and not wanting to stuff my yard or garage with it. But it’s way safer
I'm confused. Was this an ad? Or a review? Either way, I'm not sold on a ramp that moves on its own during loading and unloading. Compare it to Titan Ramps raised truck bed rack.
Great product what do you do so your licence plate can be visible to stay legally
They’re almost $1,000. A 5x8 trailer is on sale at the local hardware store for $899. Not to mention all the other uses for a trailer.
Can you use this with a trailer
Those r pretty nice ramps as well
There's a lot of negativity in the chat about these ramps and I'd like to hear from someone how has actually used them. I'm not saying the negativity isn't justified but I don't have a place to store a trailer any more and need an alternative. This is by no means ideal but if it works I'd be willing to give it a shot.
Could I install this and still tow a small trailer behind? I want to camp with my sxs
Will this work with a ez-go 6 seater golf cart?
I like it.maybe it would keep tail gaters away lol
I actually went through the drive through at Bojangles with a 21’ bass boat. I’d rather have a trailer. Oh, and you mention the trailer lengthens your ride, but what do these ramps do? Lengthen in the worst way - no pivot point.
has nothing to do with length. it has to do with weight being added past the axle. hinders the ride, from a safety aspect.
I’ll stick with my trailer, gotta haul my stuff in the box. No trailer insurance needed. But it’s great for people with an empty box.
" No trailer insurance needed" , I thought you were gonna end it with a funny joke 🤣
Yeah....no. A trailer still seems less cumbersome.
That’s cool. However, might want to consider relocating your license plate while using these. Illinois cops will ticket you if the plates blocked
HalfPastTomorrow in Ontario the insurance sticker is in the front plate.
@@danlux4954 plus, it is not illegal to have your rear plate blocked for recreational purposes in Ontario. I had to look up the legality of a rear mount bike rack, and it's legal to block your plate.
It maybe a good option for our forty foot motorhome Toad. We're pulling our Silverado 1500 z71 with a 6.5 bed. Could load a side by side in the back. Running the numbers, we would be about 100lbs under maximum payload capacity all fueled and ready to go. I'm wondering how stable that would be? Trailer is not an option if I want to have the truck to drive too.
Do the ramps work with Tacoma short bed (5 feet)? Thank you
Will this work for a wolverine x4?
Is there a snowmobile option ?
I put my 4 wheeler front wheels up on my tool box, close the tail gate and put my SxS on a trailer behind my pickup.
Trailer through a drive thru, hope my beer and watch this
Watch the unload carefully. The ramps may slap the bottom if you back off slow.
I'm not feeling this at all. I like a small trailer for carrying more things and keeping my bed empty for luggage and stuff.
staff curtis your first sentence is what every woman has said to you
Totally agree. Besides there are expensive at $1000.00. I bought my trailer for $1500.00 and I really don't mind towing it.
Mike Mike Lol I promise you the woman I’m with for 22 years would disagree. Have a nice life!
They are ways overpriced, can they be used to load lawn tractor?
Yeah. I'm wondering if up north in deep snow would be better to not tow a trailer.
Diamond Back would also be another option to consider
Backwoodsrider I guess they aren’t a sponsor anymore. They pushed that product hard.
Diamondback makes great products.
In the US trailers are covered by the tow vehicle insurance.
I'll stick with my trailer...
Sort of. You have to have it on one of your policies. Your insurance will cost a little more. My trailers are on my small business policy. Some agents place it on homeowners and personal property. The video makes trailers sound like a bad thing when they do so many other things.
@@itsruf1 I recently saw someone use one of these truck bed platforms to haul a Rzr. He loaded it with a winch.
It's as expensive as a trailer and looks unstable.
@@TheBandit7613 Try stepping off one. What's a broken back worth. I have $15k easily in my 16' flatbed as seen in a few of my videos. Matching Escalade paint and emblems make you feel good on the road. FWIW my tandem is so smooth trailing me that I forget it's back there. A 1300# RZR in a truck bed might have you all over the road. Single axles will do that too.
For the price in can get a utility trailer and storage bin for it. It a great concept, but a little pricey!
A really awesome way to change how your truck rides and sways and to put a dangerous fulcrum on your hitch receiver. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
I agree
Do you tie the back down? And wouldn't the ramps just smack the middle of the utv when loading and unloading? Maybe a dampening system would help. But idk, it's a pretty nifty idea.
I will pass on this
I like the idea but i see too many issues. The roads I drive I'm sure those ramps would dig into the ground
I have a 7x14 trailer, I’d rather park out back of the drive through and walk in. That looks great but you should have talked about payload in a truck bed. I know it’s higher then some side by sides, but how many people have driven with an additional ton in the bed?
How does it work with 2020 GMC Sierra AT4 with Multipro tailgate ? And being shortbed pick up with 2" liftkit in it?????
im guessing you dont pull a trailer that often... i pull my 16ft encolosed tandem axle thur drive thurs all the time for work.... that taco bell in fairhope is a tuffy tho....
i go through many drive throughs with a car dolly with car in tow. i do like the sled option, as i have to unload a lot by myself, and banks aren't always available. yes i have loaded a sled with out anything, and no, it is not fun. sxs hanging off, na, too much weight hanging back there.
Hey guys. How was getting in and out of the maverick with the full doors when it was in the bed of the truck?
Good video thanks !
Wouldn’t that stress and break your tailgate?
What Utv were you guys Hauling?
Looks like a Maverick trail
That’s sounds about right, thanks.
I see a lot of buckled mid-size truck frames in the future...
What do you drive a Nissan frontier
with 800-1100 lbs in the bed? wtf do you drive?
Does not look super legal for Canada as it covers the rear plate? Some clarification would be good.
Travis Dukelow the insurance sticker is on the front in Ontario.
If you're in Canada, as far as I'm aware, you don't have to insure your trailer.... you only have to register it.
Total gimmick. And I'd like to see the video of how "easily" those guys go in and out of that Maverick Trail since there's no room to open the doors once it's in the truck bed!!
I think this looks like a well thought out product especially because it appears to take weight off your tailgate. But Jesus... the price?!! Wow. Good luck selling those! There’s easily about a thousand percent markup on these!
thousand percent? that's a thousand percent of a stretch. Materials, fabrication, and R&D alone are hundreds already, this is probably a low production product so $1,000 is pretty well priced.
Cry baby
Cant pull a trailer with that madramp setup?
Just buy a diamondback truck cover with the atv kit .bike goes on top and the bed it free for Luggage. You can also order the extr kit for side by sides ..
It's cool but definitely not a thousand dollars cool.
Trailer is a much better way to go.
Why would you want your atv hanging out of the truck like that?
No thanks.
@@whyme3904 a trailer also can be used to get a car of your that broke or large items or mulch or anything really
I bought my 2 year old 5x10 utility trailer for $700, and I can haul my quad to the farm, plus room for gear, then unload everything and hitch my trailer to the quad and pull it around all weekend, no problem. I don't always have a need for a trailer when I go riding, but there are times you want to be able to help haul gear to the site when trucks can't make it, or make fewer trips back and forth, cut/haul firewood, etc. A trailer is not an inconvenience, especially if this thing costs as much as one.
Yea I’ll stick to the trailer
Anything that blocks your license plate I believe is illegal in Canada
My neighbor is a retired GM employee he actually built the trucks, he will be the first to tell you dont trust the tailgate cables on any truck yes you may get away with it for a while but they are going to fail
Looks sketchy and way too much for something that lets your quad /side by side hang out of the back of a pickup truck
This is brilliant
No thanks.....I'll keep my trailer
Okay show us the side by side loaded and the two ATVs
I'd rather haul my atv on a trailer.
This is a gimmick
I would still go with a diamond back cause u can put 2 atvs on the cover
Did you guys forget about your diamondback covers you've also advertised on this channel?
This segment is not about Diamondback, but you can find our Diamondback reviews on our channel with a quick search. They make great products.
Max ramps with required accessories -1500. Multi use trailer, $1200 and safer.
Now guys that seems a lot better than a sled deck or using it for ATVs. Sai center of gravity is just taken away and I think these will sell like hotcakes.
I have a 6" lift on 35s... seems kinda sketch.
My god that looks dangerous
A trailer does not have to be insured, maybe in CA but not here in America.
I dont know... the way those ramps whip up when the machine goes in. Then the machines tires touching the tail gate and hanging off the back of the truck, not for me.
Looks like a good way to damage a tailgate and for the money you're better off buying a small trailer that has many other uses besides just hauling an ATV
lol how does it damage the gate man... have one 0 damage over 3 years.
Video seems like a commercial, also gets rid of the ability to have a trailer completely. Plus sketchy feelings come from worrying the whole time I would use this.
observation: This is not a better option. It's just another option. My crystal ball says that design will bend and pins will bind.
Good luck in snow. And good luck with your tailgate braided cables. They will fail at some point but are affordable.
That's all great and I would buy it if it didn't cost more than a trailer
How bout wider machines 🤔
Who the f insures a flat trailer ?
Shredxcam22 probably is required in the province in Canada they are.
Robert Ross strange why they say it has to be insured then. I guess they insure theirs and assume everyone else does too.
B.C. requires insurance on trailers
No one
Not sure about this contraption…..
Ok I didn't like this till the sled was loaded. I wouldn't haul my $30k utv with this but I would haul my sled with this.
Mad ramps make your truck longer like a trailer and takes away space from your bed. Doesn’t look like a win to me
Two words, he’ll no!!
Short bed need a Regular or long bed
Sorry you cant sell this to me...
Mad price!
I can get a trailer under 1000 dollars that will last me five years with an hour of work. I don’t see a need for this product
Trailer in Ontario dose not need insurance
Bet they sell out quick.
THE INTRUCTIONS SAY THAT UTVS SHOULD BE PUT IN BACKWARDS SO THE WEIGHT REST ON THE BED AND NOT THE TAIL GATE
