Bike Loader
Just looking at winch-powered bike ramp loaders. I have a 5'6" box on a Titan. Anyone own one or tried any of the ones out on the market: Rampage; Mountain Master; Triple D Lift & Loader??? What do you think of them and has one ever failed with a bike on it? Comments Welcome- Thank you.

I am curious as well. I have a Black Widow ramp from Discount Ramps that works great for riding bikes up into my GMC Canyon with a 6' bed. But my Flathead has a foot clutch and is damn sketchy on a ramp, would love to have a winch for that bike and maybe for the others if I had to load in the rain or other bad weather. Here is hoping someone has experience.

I saw these a couple times at rallies. Looked pretty slick buy as I recall the price was about $3,500? I will stick with my enclosed trailer which protects the bike and affords additional storage. The plus would be the less towing weight so make your choice accordingly.
This is the one I'm looking at http://www.cruiserlift.com/cruiserramp I've always ridden my bike into the truck but at 72 I'm either getting smarter or less confident in my ability.

rampage loader
I have had and used a rampage loader and they work as advertised, however they are to heavy to put in and out and unless you have an 8ft bed you would have to keep tailgate down. They do require some bolts in the bed but i had an f150 and used 2 of the large bed bolts and it worked flawlessly. I had 8ft bed and just kept it in all the time under a tonneau cover. There have been some for sale, i would google motorcyle loaders for sale and see what comes up.

We put one in a customers full size Chevy 1500 for his Gold Wing. Had to beef up the rear suspension of the truck to handle the load. Mo money!!!

I was thinking something more like this:

I already have the ramp, so this would be a simple add on. But not cheap for what it is, Harbor Freight ATV winches can be had for under $100, so another $500 for the mount seems very high. What else have people been using?
