Making it fit took a little effort, but it fits! I get your point on toy haulers; we vetoed that idea when we saw that the storage area was really wasted space compared to a conventional layout. The bike and 26' trailer use ALL of the truck's capacity, but it saves me the negatives of a 3/4 ton or bigger truck that is overkill for everything else. Ironically, the Trophy SE (new acquisition) is 70 lbs heavier than the Sprint, and much of the weight is in the rear because of the shaft drive. Same length, though. I can't wait to see how that fits! Shifting the rear tire over to the sidewall will require some mechanical assistance, I expect (a wheel lift).
