That's pretty cool. Hate to think how much they charge you for that. Couple of suggestions. 1. Apply parking brake prior to loading. 2. Get a 5K winch and pull it up onto the rack. I looked into one of these, but the price was too obscene. I built my own out of wood. All told I spent about 750.00 on everything. Traveled coast to coast, works like a champ, and the high gloss boat varnish is the cherry on the top. I carry a Can-Am Maverick on the truck and one in the toy hauler.
How are you liking the setup? I’m thinking of switching to a F450 and using one of these to trade off my toy hauler to a regular travel trailer. I have an X3 Max and would probably just use a winch as opposed to drive it on. Thanks for posting the video, I just shake my head with some of the comments. Hope you just ignore them.
We will be putting one up in the next few days. What would you like us to include? If there is something specific please let us know. Can tell you that through the initial break in we haven't had any real problems. Nothing mechanical, just a few mods we have made for heat and dust control. We'll cover all of it in the next video.
Wayyyy top heavy, plus if you need a truck for work, you can't. If you got this rig because you need to tow a travel trailer, I would get a toy hauler instead. But that's me....
It's not as top heavy as one would think. The weight of the Can Am X3 max is roughly 2,000lbs. As with most SXS's, the engine is mounted in the rear so most of the weight is isolated to just above the rear portion of the truck bed. It should also be noted the wind resistance the sxs offers is minimal as it is open cockpit with mainly roll cages and half doors. If you know anything about truck bed campers, they can and do weigh 3,000lbs + and they are a huge box ripe for wind resistance. Truck campers have been out for decades with minimal to no issue so the sxs rack should prove to be less top heavy. Secondly, for those who already own a travel trailer or want a travel trailer over a toy hauler layout, this rack is the answer to taking your toys with you. Lastly, the rack is completely removeable and can be done within minutes. Note: I'm not a salesman of any sxs racks but I know enough to opine on the matter.
I looked at toy haulers and they don't suit my needs in a trailer. I prefer a deck on the truck for my UTV and have a bumper pull trailer. You also need a way to transport an UTV/ATV to a trailhead because they are not street legal.
A little bit of side to side sway when going through gutters and dips . After a few minutes you don't even notice it up there. Didn't change fuel mileage on the Duramax.
@@semoadventures1962 Towing, or load weight usually makes minimal changes in fuel economy on Diesel Trucks, its quite literally what they're built for. Ya'll have fun with that machine. Make sure to strap it down tight up top though.
Thanks for sharing the video. Have a couple of questions. Did you order it online? Did they ship it? Or did you pick it up from the company? Thanks in advance
Yes we ordered it online, yes they deliver but we opted to pick it up from one of their locations. The customer service is hands down one of the best we've experienced.
It's not bad at all. Just make sure you have the SxS centered side to side. It's like hauling anything else, make sure you give yourself plenty of time to stop, ect...
Absolutely 💯! We love the machine. We ride with a group of friends who drive a variety of machines, (Rzr / CanAm) and have gone everywhere they go. We've taken it out in the desert and the mountains with NO problems.
I have the same setup, its so they can tow a camper and still take the SXS. The size toy hauler you need to have is dumb in order to fit one of these in there.
@@thelifeoffastony1157 Nope.... I've has a similar set up with a dual rack over the bed of my 01 F350 long bed hauling a Rhino for 8 years with no issues. Only difference is that my racks (separate sides mounted to truck bed with receivers so I can handle set up alone) sits level with the truck bed. It feels like a small camper driving it solo and just like towing a heavier travel trailer when hooked up. I didn't want to get rid of my travel trailer for a toy hauler at the time. Still plenty of storage in the bed under the mounted Rhino.
For the price you can just buy a trailer and you want lose your bed. Not to mention what do you do if/when you break out on a ride? You sure aren't getting it back up there. This just seems like a solution to a non existent problem
I would haul the small trailer and side by side and my wife hauled the trailer. We downsized the trailer, sold one truck and got a Marlon Truck rack and now we go as a family again. Why don’t I get a bigger truck and a toy hauler. Because we wanted to go lighter not heavier. 2000 lb camper is a breeze for my SRW 3500 plus an 8500 lb trailer that my other family members can borrow. If I get a 16000 lb toy hauler and the truck to pull it then I’m Down more $.
The most stupidest thing I've ever seen... Break a belt, no spare belt. How you get it up, break an axle or just break sxs . How you get it up... dude. Just get a trailer. They do sell trailers for golf carts...get rid of your travel trailer and do it right.. get a toy hauler.
Ever heard of a winch? You can easily pull yourself up. Why take a loss on a travel trailer you already purchased, just to accommodate a toy? A lot of people haul this way. Before our toy hauler, we hauled our 4 seat Yamaha Wolverine in the bed of the truck, while pulling a pop up.
I'm going to pick one up tomorrow because I have a 32' travel trailer a toy hauler that can fit some of these machines just isn't feasible and to put a muddy dirty machine in the back of a toy hauler is not going to happen. Some places don't have a wash area.
A toy hauler is meant to carry motorcycles not ATV's that weigh 1000 pounds plus. They don't have the cargo capacity to carry your gear too. Impractical because you still have to get the machine to a trailhead because they are NOT street legal. Some of the roads to get to a trailhead are impossible to travel with a toy hauler or travel trailer.
Everyone thinks they know everything. In my case My SXS wont' fit in a toy hauler. Do you really think someone is going to spend that money on one of these if they really didn't need it. Yes. We have heard of trailers....smh
@@sirsmotealot7915 All of them. It isn't ridiculous. I carry my Pioneer 500 the same way with a Toyup deck. The truck is stable at highway speeds on curvy mountain roads. Beats paying for a trailer along with insurance and registration. My 3/4 ton carries it with ease.
Nope, mine is well within payload limits for a 3/4 ton. I have Toyup deck to carry my Pioneer 500 and the truck is stable at highway speeds on mountain roads. You can't tow a travel trailer and a ATV trailer easily.

2:40 The beginning
I’ll stick with a trailer

We love the setup. After loading it a few times it is a lot less sketchy.
Have you made the switch?
@@markgreene3515 I ordered a new 450 a month ago. I will be switching when it gets delivered.
Looked to sketchy for me... but ya did it ... have a fun trip be safe 👊🏽
Can u make more extensive XTR videos? There is barely any videos of these machines and I really wanna watch some good reviews before I buy one
I will put one up in the next few days.

@@semoadventures1962 just like a walk around tour and review type video. Really like the style and I want lots of knowledge before I drop $16k+
It's a Arctic Cat by Textron. By a trailer. This is sketchy!
@@johneratcliff maybe they haul a travel trailer while hailing this, this is what I’m going to go with because I want to take my sxs camping with me
Next time put the rear axle of your truck
Where your driveway meets the rd
Ect won’t be as steep
2 1/2 minutes to get it out of the garage????
Does your truck have an e brake?
Probably don’t need it.
Have you had to load it like that after you break an axle-shaft? Not gonna happen!
What about a flat ramp trailer? This thing looks dangerous to load and to transport. Is it legal?
It is legal and not dangerous if you know how to drive.
I have a Toyup deck for my Pioneer 500. It is very similar to this deck and it is kind of spooky loading but easy to do. It is legal.

I looked at toy haulers and they don't suit my needs in a trailer. I prefer a deck on the truck for my UTV and have a bumper pull trailer. You also need a way to transport an UTV/ATV to a trailhead because they are not street legal.
Would the rack work with a 1500?
What kind of ramps did the rack come with? They look like titan brand ones or are they making their own ramps?
We make them
Parking brake not set on the truck?
Is that a three-quarter ton pickup truck
You paid what 3k for that? I rather have a trailer and use it for other purposes too or a toy hauler but to each their own
The whole point is now you can put a trailer as well if need be
I have a 2021 f250 gas ?? Would it work
Nailed it! How does it drive on the highway?
A little bit of side to side sway when going through gutters and dips . After a few minutes you don't even notice it up there. Didn't change fuel mileage on the Duramax.
@@semoadventures1962 Towing, or load weight usually makes minimal changes in fuel economy on Diesel Trucks, its quite literally what they're built for. Ya'll have fun with that machine. Make sure to strap it down tight up top though.
can you tell me how long your ramps are for this to get there10ft?
Yes 10 foot ramps. They fold up and store under the deck.
Hey bro....cool vid👌
Wher i can order spare parts for the xtr 1000?
Thanka
We have had good luck with Sidebyside parts.com
Could be very hard on the clutches.

@@monaryanfurmama6 thank you for the info I appreciate it!
What is it like to drive on the highway?
It's not bad at all. Just make sure you have the SxS centered side to side. It's like hauling anything else, make sure you give yourself plenty of time to stop, ect...
It all fun and games till you hit that low bridge.
Our travel trailer is taller than the sxs on the deck.

Hi,
Very grateful for you. Do you recommend this vehicle as I'm considering one to buy?
Absolutely 💯! We love the machine. We ride with a group of friends who drive a variety of machines, (Rzr / CanAm) and have gone everywhere they go. We've taken it out in the desert and the mountains with NO problems.
Nice
How much from ramptek?The deck.
$2500. We don't have a toy hauler.
Why don’t you just buy a trailer ?
I have the same setup, its so they can tow a camper and still take the SXS. The size toy hauler you need to have is dumb in order to fit one of these in there.
People can afford to drop 20k for this thing but not buy a trailer.. yea that makes sense.
Makes perfect sense if you're hoping to hook up to a trailer.
fuck that! any moisture and you'll be on ur lid
Nope...been there done that. Put anti-skid tape on mine.
It's obvious you don't know how to drive 😂😂😂
Load down hill...geez
That was our first time doing it. We have gotten a lot more comfortable with it. Definitely better with truck facing down hill.
@@semoadventures1962 Or have a high spot to place the ramps.
If you own a 40k dollar ATV why not buy a 1500 dollar trailer?
Hi, thank you for your interest in our video. We haul the SxS on the rack because we pull our travel trailer behind us.
@@semoryan9645 makes sense
Expensive little toys like that, disprove the misinformation that the Economy is bad.
Those ramps look sketchy AF. Waaaaaaay too much flex. I’ll pass.
We had the wrong ramps. Ramptek overnight shipped much heavier ramps.
Nope, Nope ,Nope.
Not for me. Thanks
Three words: Flat bed trailer...
Also towing a travel trailer.
@@semoadventures1962 sell travel trailer and get a toy hauler. This is horrible.

@@melrobinson6919 Sure is nice not to have to mess with parking a trailer. Just unload, fold up the ramps and go.
I would never do that that pickup truck look top-heavy

What
lmfao you could have just bought a trailer to haul your rig ! i bet you paid more for that ramp and set up than what a trailer would have cost!
Wanna bet? Along with the initial investment, you still have to pay for insurance and registration. The rack is a one time purchase.
WHY WHY WHY! Dangerous to load, unload, and drive with on top of truck.
Super stable once you are loaded. After a few times loading and uploading it is easy.
This looks ridiculous. What state would this be legal in?
@@sirsmotealot7915 this is legal in all states. This is common practice in the atv/utv world. Nothing odd about it.
