I've been told that WD hitches are pointless on this truck because of the air suspension and weight of the truck. At least in the scale of the small TT. The bed extender wouldn't necessarily be to use with the TT, but could be useful in general. The fact that the same dollars gets me a ramp and the extender is the main benefit. Neither bike can fit in the bed with the gate up, and whether the Zero might fit with it partially up is open. The XR, no way, and it would be the one to go on trips with the trailer. Check out my measurements; best case, the XR tire would barely be on the tailgate. Removing it is out of the question. So gate down is going to be the only option, and how the TT works would be a matter of either a tongue extension or truck extension. I had the Wellcraft trailer extended, don't remember the cost, but not enough for me to remember because it hurt my ass so much. I decided to draw it out to be sure. Bed Length at Rail - Tailgate Up 1373 mm or 54.1 in. Bed Length at Floor - Tailgate Down: 2130 mm or 83.9 in. Bed width (exposed cargo width): 1299 mm or 51.1 in. Bed wheelhouse width at the floor: 1277 mm or 50.3 in. Bed Height with Tonneau Open: 465 mm or 18.3 in. Max Cargo Height (Tonneau Closed): 434 mm or 17.1 in. Bed Volume: 828 L or 29.2 cubic feet Something is sketchy between the diagonal and straight measurements which I have listed as the same. I believe it's because of the differences in floor versus rail/cover space; the cover and rails eat space. I need to measure again, and it's off for paint correction right now. Fuck, I need new whiteboard markers. Now to measure and draw the bike footprints.

A bed extender would solve the bike hauling, but not allow the trailer unless you did an extended hitch which is gonna suck for weight distribution. One option would be to extend the trailer's tongue, that would allow tailgate down while reducing tongue weight, and allow for using the distribution hitch if wanted. I bet it wouldn't take much to create a "bolt on" solution rather than doing a permanent tongue mod.

A great point, and a feature that this doesn't have. Wonder why? The Gladiator had that, specifically called out because it has a short bed. It let me carry multiple sheets of full-size ply. Afro-engineering in 3...2.... I really think that I should get the combo ramp and bed extender. Then see how that feels for loading and carrying, and go from there. Every post I can find about trailering is about the same; bigger impact on economy than carrying cargo. And the fucking 55 limit in CA, and just the annoyance/risk factor of it. I'm not going to own one, and while U-haul isn't super far, it's another thing to do before trips. https://www.amazon.com/Extreme-Max-NR002N-Xtender-Combo/dp/B007K9D7NG/ref=sr_1_3?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.fC_Kl9lB4qJyk6LqNIoYA4DT86pmY1E8QMosKbRIVeAe0CznBpoTAsU9deib62al9qE97Fv9LXZuV0kAtxFLiPcUrZJH3O_Z3dUVf2-SuCBuATjjd2IzefzYiv5LO1nIsT3iDoyGkey-OY5R2vXX8kCducUnOdTyjla6VOp0BscErnttqywibyzPCQCho526W7U65bJi5D8ZesHa_GmQwQkczTYYClwEZVuHdJwd6mzkMP6ELHfXRWZF-PaROqU9OyAZ0S-anOxgBmWFdddpCAGe6eoEOiRExofm08hTIYQ.Ees3UXgA_cTOT2-euTflN2Bat6DLrmrZ9pt8kMgn5_Q&dib_tag=se&keywords=ready+ramp&qid=1713964323&sr=8-3 https://www.amazon.com/Extreme-Max-NR002S-SLVR-Motorcycle-RampXtender/dp/B00GM859O6/ref=sr_1_2?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.fC_Kl9lB4qJyk6LqNIoYA4DT86pmY1E8QMosKbRIVeAe0CznBpoTAsU9deib62al9qE97Fv9LXZuV0kAtxFLiPcUrZJH3O_Z3dUVf2-SuCBuATjjd2IzefzYiv5LO1nIsT3iDoyGkey-OY5R2vXX8kCducUnOdTyjla6VOp0BscErnttqywibyzPCQCho526W7U65bJi5D8ZesHa_GmQwQkczTYYClwEZVuHdJwd6mzkMP6ELHfXRWZF-PaROqU9OyAZ0S-anOxgBmWFdddpCAGe6eoEOiRExofm08hTIYQ.Ees3UXgA_cTOT2-euTflN2Bat6DLrmrZ9pt8kMgn5_Q&dib_tag=se&keywords=ready%2Bramp&qid=1713964323&sr=8-2&th=1

The dude, not Swamp, is probably the only person in United States, that includes cops, who gives fuck about speed limit while towing small trailer. And he is wrong. Montana, for example, has 75 mph speed limit for heavy trucks. That would be 18 wheeler. Pretty much same in Idaho. Can't imagine it would be lower for pick up towing small trailer. I'm guessing real reason is retarded layout of charging stations. Very few are gas station type pull thru. It either back aor pull in in case of EVs. That means dropping trailer every time you need charge. Very enjoying.

If the tailgate can be removed and the bike will fit diagonally, that would let you tow the trailer. Or maybe with the tailgate partially open.

Try other brands, you will find some that are thin and break, some that are thick but also crunchy, and you may have hit the middle ground where they don't really crack but also don't fall apart like the thick ones.

The wife is getting into the hummus thing and we ended up getting these plus pita chips and bread. The bread is really good but I don't eat bread, (can't control myself), the pita chips are harder than we like. I can eat all of them but the honey jalapeno is my favorite.

That's not a spoiler, that's an advertisement!

I bought the last one at a Kroegers- Fred Meyer store and I prefer it over Sabra. You may not like it like Carlos.

It's at most of the "weird" stores like Sprouts and Whole Foods. It's the only brand I will never buy again. Chris and I may have opposite tastes, LOL.

Sabra red pepper is my favorite. Might have to look for this Cedar brand. Can't say I've seen it, but don't pay that much attention to hummus brands. I like it, but don't buy it on a regular basis for the same reason as Blackhawk. I'll dip way too many chips in it.

SPOILER ALERT! Don't remember what episode, but we do get to see her completely naked and "doing" the main character.

Why not both?

Love roasted red pepper humus made by Cedar. Dip pita bread and carrots in it.

...scratches head, waddles off to Google.. I tried watching it. The first couple episodes didn't have a hook. I may need to revisit that.

Yes, it makes the bed ultra small. About like a Maverick but wider. And almost no wheel wells since it has bed flares.

Great stuff. Does the tunnel affect the room in the bed? I don't think you showed a pic of inside the bed.

Broccoli might be something to try. I can't eat raw broccoli (makes me want to gag) except when dipped in something. As far as "normal", I've never been accused of that. 🙂

There's also 12v and 120v power inside the tunnel to charge gear. And a rolling cover to access the tunnel from inside the cab. The tunnel doors act as huge steps to tie things onto the roof cargo bars, and/or reach into the front of the bed.

Good first season. Officer Ortega will definitely take your mind off your troubles.😜 Will the engine rotate a full revolution by hand?

holy crap! So the tunnel doors double as seats! That is crazy cool. I would not have thought their tailgate could support 1K pounds. 😲

All of the weight ratings are pretty crazy on this thing. The gate can hold 1k. The tunnel doors fold down as seats and they are 250 each. Rivian rep laughed and said something about a piggish Harley would even be fine.

I recall seeing Sean, ApolloXX - K9XX haul his blackbird in the rear of a Honda Ridgline caddywampus (like the dirt bike above). I was worried the rear tire of your Zero might be too much weight for the tailgate on the Rivian?

These are two of the many reasons that I won't do a moto trailer. Towed a 400lb R3 in the bed last week and it worked perfectly, although the tailgate had to be down the entire time. The range hit was minimal, probably 10-15%, but the truck handled great. If I had to guess, the dedicated motorcycle trailer would definitely impact range much more. Upvote3DownvoteShareShare R1T Preorder Consider that there are speed limits for vehicles with trailers. For example, WA state is 60mph regardless of the posted speed limit. OR, MT and ID are 65. There are sections of highway in each of these states where you'll be going significantly slower than the rest of the traffic if you're adhering to the letter of the law. I've towed my motorcycle all over the NW, including each of the aforementioned states and it's a bit irritating to be slower than the flow of traffic. I'd put it in a truck bed if you can. Does it fit, though? And I guess, in the long run, maybe it's time to sell the TT and switch to a small toy hauler type, or the kind that have a front basket or rail for motorcycles.
