Easy. The hardest part will be loading and unloading. Be sure to set the e-brake real good. The truck will squat a little but it can handle it. I'm assuming your talking about hauling the hog in the bed.

If I can pile on. My question also ,only I have a 5 1/2 ft. bed with RetraxPro bed cover. I know the tailgate would have to be left down,but will the bike fit with the cover rolled back?

It'll be close depending on which bike you load. Maybe if you can load it diagonally. Also, you may want to get a piece of plywood or something to place in front of the retrax. Their canister can't withstand much force against it.
