Trailer 100%. Couldn't imagine loading and unloading that high up into the bed... Then again, easier with one ATV... When I go with my dad, it's a Honda Fourtrax and a Suzuki King Quad on a tilting flatbed trailer. So easy...

f150 is high in the rear and loading ramps are short making for a sketchy steep angle to drive your atv up. I've seen guys do unintentional wheelies and shatter the back window, dented beds, atv rolls over backwards, ramps slip while loading...etc. There are lots of things that can go wrong.
never again for me, i'll use my trailer

Not to mention after a day of muddy wheeling how easy it is to pressure wash the ATV on the trailer in a car wash stall.
With a F150 limited I wouldn't be keen on loading a muddy ATV back there and having to clean the bed every time I went riding.
Plus if its raining or snowing your bed can be full of your stuff and dry and clean while ATV is back on the trailer.
I also have a bakflip F1 and I personally hate having it block my rear view when completely folded up against the cab.

[QUOTE=javelina1;5747056]Just sharing info and a gift to myself... bought some long ramps for our future ATV. Yes, I went with the 11 footers... I'll definitely use ratchet straps to lock these in place on my hitch. I really wanted a longer ramp, for an easier approach.
Next step is finishing the bed liner.... (We've been eyeballing a Polaris Sportsman 570 2-UP).
What keeps the ramps on the tailgate as you start up with the ATV ?

It has just became one of those young bro guy cool things to put the ATV in the truck bed. It's ridiculous. That is what an ATV trailer is for. Yes I said it. Now don't go getting your panties in a wad about it.
