Can I Carry An ATV Or Snowmobile On My Vehicle With Mad-Ramps Pivoting Ramp System

Question:

I have a Honda Ridgeline 4WD 2019 and would like to transport a Can-Am ATV Outlander which weighs 800 pounds as well as a snowmobile Ski-Doo Grand Touring SE 1200 which weighs 617 pounds. Can I carry them on this truck.

I can definitely help determine if a Mad Ramp system is right for you, but I will need some information from you first. What type of ATV or snowmobile do you intend to transport? What vehicle will you be using to transport this item? Once I have this information, I will better able to help you.

I did some research online and I discovered that the tongue weight of your 2019 Honda Ridgeline AWD is 600 lbs if you have up to 2 occupants in your vehicle. Using the formula to determine the tongue weight of the Mad-Ramps Pivoting Ramp System for ATV/UTV Ramps - 1,400-lbs - 2" Hitch, part # MR54FR, I came up with these totals. Tongue Weight For Your 2019 Honda Ridgeline >= 151 lbs + Weight of ATV/Snowmobile Your tongue weight = 600 lbs 2/3 of ATV weight = 528 lbs 2/3 of Snowmobile weight = 410 lbs You will be able to use this system with your Ski-Doo Touring SE 1200 since 551 lbs is less than 600 lbs. Unfortunately, your ATV is a bit too heavy. If you use the MadRamps your tongue weight is approximately 81 lbs over your vehicle's tongue weight. Your best option would be to use a utility trailer to carry your snowmobile and your ATV. The Detail K2 Mighty Multi A-Frame Utility Trailer - 7-1/2' Long - 1,640 lbs, part # K2MMT5X7, is perfect for this application. It measures 88" X 52" with the gate in the up position, but it can be converted to a flat bed, with tie-down points, that is 136". It has a payload capacity of 1,640 lbs.
