I have no issues with a rack hanging out the back of my truck by 4 feet, or 2 feet with tailgate down. I can't find any way to do this, rack or what ever. Anyone know where to get a rack that can?

Unfortunately I want to haul a travel trailer so an ATV trailer cannot be done.
Don't want a toy hauler.
Don't want to tow double (done that).
I currently have a 12 foot truck camper that hangs 4 feet off the back of my truck and weighs 5,500 lbs. I use a Torklift super hitch with their 4 foot extension to carry a 5,000lb boat. Without a weight distrubution hitch, its rated for 600 lbs tounge and 6,000 dead weight. Its rated much higher with a WD hitch. So, If needed, I could easily replace my 4 foot extension with a two foot and have much more tounge and tow capacity then now, which is suffecient. Weight or legnth shouldn't be a concern.
I've found a traver trailer I want (more room than a truck camper) with a good 10 inch frame, not a light model, that I will mount an ATV platform on the rear to haul one light ATV, 400 lbs, Polaris Pheonix 200. On the bed will be three Can Am's: Outlander Max, Renegade, and a DS 250. Totaly weight will be 2100 -2400 lbs. No where near my current load of 5,500 lbs. Throw in a trailer tongue weight of about 800 lbs and all should be good. With the 750 lbs Outlander up front near the cab, front axel shouldn't be unloaded.
if your desperiat, and i dont recomend doing this, iv put two large atvs side by side in a truck bed, and run the third(smallest one) on top of the other two. strap it down like crazy.
agean it can be done, but i dont recomend it

my truck should hold 4 or 5 in the tail end and be able pull another 10 on trailer behind it, the other heavy duty will hold non onboard but will fit 16-18 maybe even 20on the trailer. . .thats the beauty of a 3 axle 10 tired tow rig. . .
i have 2 of them 10 tired three axle trucks. 1 Studebaker all wheel drive for muddy places and 1 Mack rear wheel drive for not so muddy places. . .tho it will do some mud but once it gets about 14 inches deep its stuck. . .
The GMC K-4500 will hold 2 on board tow 6 behind threw a foot of mud easy.
The GMC K-2500 will hold only 1 but will tow 4 behind it might handle up to 6-9 inches of Mud. . .
best would to be get one of them 2 place racks than get a toy hauler camper that has a rack on front for 1 machine. . .
other wise a duece and a half is only $2,500-$3,500 buck,s. . . they run 60mph or swap out the 9.00-20 biasply tires for 11.00R20 radials and it'll 66mph all day long loaded or cruze 68mph empty. . .
How to put 3 ATV in truck bed?
