Chevy Colorado Full Cab big enuff for m/c

[Lil Los]

I was wondering if anyone knew that a Chevy Colorado's bed with a full cab is big enough to haul a motorcycle in?

I don't know the bed length of a Colorado, but can tell you this.

You can fit a bike in a 6 foot bed with tailgate down and and 8 foot bed with tailgate up. You may be able to fit a bike in a 6 foot bed with tailgate up if you put the bike in sideways.

I used to fit my Mille in my Silverado short bed with the tailgate up, but had to put the rear wheel in the recess of the gate and slam it.

I have an extended cab colorado and put my bike in it all the time.
Actually two bikes and a bunch of other stuff fits in there if you pack it right.

The tailgate won't fully close with a bike straight, but it has adjustable length tailgate cables so you can half mast the tailgate, or if you want you can get the ramp that doubles as a bed extender (I keep meaning to buy one of those, but i haven't gotten around to it yet.)

measure the wheelbase of the bike and the bed length of the truck.

:nerd

Actually, I decided I might need to clarify. You'll need to measure the farthest forward part of the front to the farthest rearward part of the rear. :nerd

Ya know, if somone's gotta tell you how to figure THAT out :confused

edited for clarity.

The answer to your question is yes. But like mentioned before you have to keep the gate down. That was the last truck I rented when I when to T-Hill. Everything worked out great.

you should be ok if its a reg bed. A friend and I put my R1 and his R6 in a POS rented ford ranger. No scratches on the bikes :-D

Plan on help with loading and unloading it. One trick is to get a crate to step up on as you try to keep up with the bike as it goes up.
