Default 5.5 foot box sled deck options?

Anyone out there running any sled decks with the 5.5 foot bed? Any pics or preferred brand? And are the half tons able to do the two sleds up top? Or is that grossly overloaded. Any input would be great thanks!

DOT will have you pulled over in alberta as soon as you load 2 sleds on top.

Hit the mountains with a deck, 2 sleds and gear on a half ton and wham ticket time.

Haha that's kinda what I figured! Most of my riding would be hinton area. Would a single sled up top be fine then?

should be depending on the weight and your rear axle load.

Come to BC (bring cash) with a deck and two sleds and you'll be looking for a trailer or a place to store a sled. I have a place place to store very cheap but like i said bring cash.

I moved here just over a year ago from the south Okanagan, Bring cash is a pretty spot on slogan haha. And I did use to trailer them back home. But living in an apartment now a decks a little easier to just pack around all winter.


God I hate apartments, gonna gave to find a place to store the crotch rocket when the snow does start flying.
