Snowmobiles might need to be transported to your chosen destination before you can glide through the snow. Trailers can be used to haul your sled and gear, but their maintenance and storage can become too taxing for frequent journeys. A snowmobile carrier is a great alternative with it’s truck bed-mountable feasibility. They can be installed permanently or attached through turnbuckles to be removed when not in use. A slide-out ramp makes it easy to load and unload your snowmobiles. Track glides on sled deck prevent abrasion from the snowmobile track and studs. You can easily overcome complex maneuvers with your loaded pickup truck compared to when you are hauling a trailer. You can also conveniently steer into and out of gas stations and park on mountain lanes while removing your sleds.
To quote the great Robert Frost, what had once been “a road not taken” with a trailer in tow, you can now explore in your deck-mounted truck, and some of the best ways to do so are discussed below.
