Raptor 700R loaded in Cybertruck - looking for thoughts if you have done this before....

[speedstuff]

Loaded my raptor on the cybertruck today using tesla ramps.

I am within inches of closing the tail gate, which I would love to be able to do.

If you have ever put a quad in your CT please do share your thoughts on this?

I made a quickee video showing my progress (?)

You can set the tailgate to an angle using the upper attachments (default is the lower ones so the tailgate lowers to flat position) so the quad at least cant freely roll off the back, but either way, make sure its secured to the truck

Never done it, but would deflating the tires work? Could pump up the tires with an inflator plugged into the bed outlet.

Great idea! will try this thank you

I put a yfz450r in the back pretty often. The gate will not close. The bed is just a little too short. Just really secure the atv with straps and tie downs. Also leave the atv in gear and with the parking brake on or a clamp on the front brake lever.

You can put the gate at a slightly up position by moving the cables to the upper attachments but it doesn't do much for all the work in my opinion.

Mine is too big to fit. But you might be able to gain a few inches by removing the aero shield at the front of the tonneau cover, the one that you have to take off for the tent.

Is it feasible to elevate the back tires and put blocks under them? That could give you just enough clearance.

I saw a 3D print for hinges for the roof applique, so that you could just tilt it up out of the way. Also, do you need the bumper? Can it be removed or replaced with something smaller?

I plan on trying to load a motorcycle into the bed, want to know if I can still drive into my garage with it. Can you measure the height from the ground to the top of the bed floor?

Still cant get the tailgate closed, but with that 3D printed mirror thing, the rear camera works so thats a win. here is where I am at now:

Perhaps a crossbar over the top glass and put the front tires up. I’d just make sure tires wasn’t resting on the glass when you put it in out, stress might crack glass. could even customize one and make small ramp things to protect it. Prolly won’t help your range tho wh/mile.

Hmm... build a block in front of the front tires so they cannot go further forward but make it so the center of the rear tires are slightly forward of a closed tailgate. Leave the raptor in neutral. close the tailgate. The rear wheels should "ride up" the tailgate as you close it and end up on top of the tailgate when it's fully closed. They'll be slightly forward of center so a single strap pulling down at the back of the Raptor will keep it in place. It can't roll forward because of the tire blocks (Maybe two blocks made from 3 or 4 2" x 12" x 12" pieces of lumber would work). It can't roll back because it would have to go up to get over the tailgate which it can't because it's strapped down.

Pro: When done riding, ride it up the ramp. The blocks stop you from hitting the front. You simply get off, close the tailgate, and ratchet one strap tight. Done.

Con: Pushing up the tailgate may be a challenge if you aren't, you know, strong enough.

Pro: It would cost almost nothing to build and test.

Pro: Your backup camera would function properly.

Con: Back to that tailgate... how hard will that be to push up?

Con: Might not be great to store it nose down. I'm not a Raptor guy so I don't know things.

I like that idea, thanks. Maybe some black rubber harbor freight big tire chocks. Thank you

I was wondering if short ramps for the front tires would lift it enough the bumper would clear the front of the bed. Use blocks to keep the fronts from going to far forward to keep the bumper from touching the glass. Then air down the rear tires to allow the tailgate to close.

I plan to do the same with my motorcycle (Aprilia RSV4 Factory and a Ducati Hypermotard SP). Would love to hear and see pics on what ramps, and how you do it.

I’m planning to buy the ReadyRamp…
