I'm pretty sure it will fit in the back as long as the tail gates down, you also might want to check the width of the bed to :)

I'm going to have to measure it to be sure. I drove by the Ford dealership and it looks really small, even with the gate down.

Eeeewww.. Those trucks are fugly. My friend did fit 2 dirtbikes in the back of one, so I would imagine a quad would fit..

I remember when these things first came out I either was looking at a magazine article or a brochure but they showed a jet-ski in the bed of one with the tailgate down and one of those stainless steel bed extender gates on the back.

By those measurements it may fit, but I called the Ford dealer today and he said the payload capacity is only 300lbs:eek2: and the bed is made of a composit material(read plastic):( ...Looks like I may be getting a new Xterra instead.

Are you for real?? They have to hold more than 300 lbs. that is weak. Yes a quad will fit, the only problem is you have to put one of the front tires on the wheel wells and of course the tail gate has to be down.

well, its not really a truck or intended to be used as a truck...

Do the new ones come with IRS like the explorer's?

I used to have one of those POS and I hauled my 400 around in it stock width with the tail gate down.
