I'm positive an quad will fit in there. A 4' x 8' sheet of drywall will lay flat in the back of one of those with room to spare. My dad used to have an old Astro that i could fit my stock width 400ex inside of. Plenty of head room for the quad. Plus in the Astro you could just strap it to the seat anchors. I still had room for a large rubbermaid tote my gas can and a little tool box.

I ride up these slate dumps and a guy rolled up one day with a astro van and out came his 450r.

i can fit my grizzly 700 in the back of a cargo van. there isn't much room for the handlebar clearance but it does clear.

you get much better gas mileage with a van then a truck and trailer too.

I had a chevy g20 van and it worked pretty good. It was great for far away races. I also had an enclosed and I liked it better. Pulled it with the van and I was able to take my pressure washer, grill, water tank and alot of other crap. Then you can blow up an air mattresse and sleep in the van.

i got a 96 ford e 250 cargo van for sale, its mint condition 4k takes it, it fit my mx yfz in with enough room to sleep on a airmattress with my quad securely locked up with me, the nice thing about the ford e 250 is the rear doors unclip so you can fit a mx width quad in , easiest way to go by far, my van has a 351 v8 and i got like 15mpg, nice and comfortable to drive too, i had a cd player installed in mine, van is defientely the best way to go for any racer, most secure too

Well if you already have a towing vehicle it its cheaper to get an enclosed trailer because you will have to insure a van
