Question need special carriage device

Hello everybody!<o></o>

<o></o>I’m Phil from Russia. I’ve got F150 – 2006, 5.4 diesel. I need to transport on my F150 small cross-country 8 wheels vehicle. There was no problem before I’ve changed wheels to caterpillars. From now my cross-country vehicle is wider then F150 body so I need something (device or construction) that can allow carrying this vehicle on F150. Does anybody know how solve this problem?



<o></o>

Landscaping trailer should do the job; check out the various sizes available.

thanks for the information. I'll check if there is something I can use. but at first glance they've got only outwards devices.. the target is to use my vehicle space without any external devices

It sounds like you are looking for something that Stays on your truck for you to haul the cross terrain vehicle. Almost like a heavy duty / industrial tonneau cover. You may have to have a metal fabricator make up a smaller "roll-back" (rollback= flatbed-type tow truck in the U.S.) type apparatus that fits in/on the truck bed.

Edit...
Welcome to FTE! and I send my greetings from Poland at this time

I don't know how you would carry it, but that sure is a cool vehicle.

Thanks for your reply and for greetings from Poland! the same to you from Moscow!!
You actually got me right. I need something that stays on my truck.. well I'll try to find what you're talking.. if you now any companies that deal with this let me know - it would be greatly appreciated! But I also think that I can face some problems with the centre of gravity that can be apparently shifted higher.. anyway, thank you!

Hey Phil, I saw this product on Truck U on Speed Channel.

Looks heavy duty enough. I think it holds 1600 pounds? Check out site, info is there.

That is the company I was thinking of. I have heard very good things about there bed covers. I am not sure the length and weight of that Amphibious but it might work.

Officially 5.4 is not available in Russia.. moreover F150 as far as I know is not being delivered here officially.. probably Ford does not consider our market as a good market for F150 sale.. unfortunately
