Suggestions on UTV bed rail system?

I'm a newbie and should be using my 2016 F450 King Ranch to pull a big camper soon on the hitch and want to load a UTV onto some sort of bed rail systems so I can still use the bed for storage. It'll likely be a 2 seater side-by-side but might go 4 seater. Any suggestions for a super sturdy but easy to use rail system? Thanks

Brand wise I couldent say, but I see many guys with SXS'es loaded up a ramp system in the bad and over the cab partially.I gotta wonder how 1500 lbs sitting 6' above the cab feels though and dont be hitting any drive thru burger joints.

haha, yeah no drive thru's for sure. A 4 seater would definitely run up over the cab. That does feel a little sketchy.

I have seen these setups around but it does look kind of scary going down the road.

Not a whole lot different than a slide in camper if you think a out it. Some of those weigh more than a utv.

Thats true, they have more surface area for side wind to push on as well. I guess it is more the thought that all of the weight is above the bedsides and cab vs sitting on the bed floor that seems wrong.

I don't think I'd want to be the one driving said UTV into place. Unless I 100% trusted the spotter. I've driven large four-wheelers up into the bed of a super duty before using some sketchy-looking 2x6s. But I can see everything around me on a four-wheeler
