I wouldn't advise this, I'm pretty sure one may regret it, but if I had to make it a 1 time shot I'd use the lugs on the front of my deck and winch it on backwards.

Doesn't work well. You see the truck ended upside down in that pic from being overloaded

i seen it done once in vale but didnt look closely. Good luck strappn it down legally. The backwards sled aint gettn a superclamp on skiis or 4x45 rule. If u did then the track would be way on the headache rack. U could secure it....yes. Legal....no. And u know one look from a cop and the cherries r on for a closer peek. lol sounds like alota headache
Haha it would take some ingenuity but I'm sure it could be secured properly. Almost sounds like a challenge lol

As long as it's not a 1/2 ton you should be fine.

it has to be the aluminum body F150 so you have the extra payload capacity and you are good to go, lol

Tex can't even bitch about the load security. That truck is upside down and those sleds haven't moved!

You have to load the middle one first. Put your ramp up against the hood of your truck and just drive right up and over.

would it not take the windshield off being on backwards, brother in law did that with his john deer in the back of his half ton and took the hood off

The middle one must be real short, when I have two on the deck there isn't room between the fronts for another one.
Bet you can't get past the first cop anyway.

In the mid 90's I had a home made deck that for some reason I built max legal width 8' 6". One time we had to put a third one up the middle. It fit no problem but these were two 95 Summits and a 89 Mach. With the length of our sleds these days you would need at least a 9' deck or put the track of the middle one up on the headache rack.
I've seen pictures of three sled setups where the middle one is elevated and forward.

I was wondering about the length of the deck too but the track of the centre one is on the headache rack. That would give room for the other skis to sit underneath. Also to keep the skis of the centre one on the deck.
