Default Best Truck To Haul Bikes

So now that I have a bike and the wife is talking about getting a dirtbike or quad I am wondering if I should trade in my little car for a truck. I am just wondering what everyone thinks is the best vehicle for hauling bikes and/or quads and why.

Default It really just depends

Most trucks will do just fine. A lifted truck will make things much harder, as it is much more difficult to get a bike or quad into the back of it. You probably do not want some lowered truck, because your suspension travel will suffer and the ride will not be all that great, blah blah blah, im sure you know that whole deal. Any 6 or 8 foot bed pickup truck would be more than fine. Make and model is your preference. I know I have a little sonoma (not by preference, it was a good deal) but it does just fine hauling either my GSXR or my harley. My ideal truck would be a brand new silverado 1500, but there is no reason to say that a f-150 or ram 1500 or any other truck for that matter, will not get the job done just fine. Keep the height of the truck, the bed length, and eyelets to hook straps to in mind. Oh yeah, look into a pair of canyon straps if you dont already have some, they work great.
