Trukin' the RX3, light enough for your trucks tailgate?

I haven't carried my RX-3 in the bed of my RAM 1500, but I did buy a $120 hitch carrier from Cycle gear and have many hundreds of miles of problem free travel. You may want to check with your truck manufacturer as to the weight limits they allow on your tailgate.

03 Ford Ranger with RX3 in back , tailgate down. 4 tie downs. Round trips From Walla Walla, Wa to Yosemite and another trip WW to CSC in Asuza for the Baja ride. Works like they are made for one another, usually need help pushing the RX3 up into the back though since it's 2x my weight. rj

Supposedly truck manufacturers (some at least) purposely don't rate their tailgates for liability reasons. Unfortunately mine is one of em :(
