I currently have an SUV for transporting my 12' Outback. I throw it on top of the roof racks and strap it down. It works fine, but I am getting tired of lifting it up on the roof.

I want to buy a truck. A 4x4 so I can follow Mako Bob and others down to MX.

This question is for those of you who transport your yak in the back of your trucks. I am not concerned about brand/model of trucks, more curious about the size of the bed and your yak.

Truck beds range from 5 1/2' to 8'. Will you please share with me your experience transporting your yak and how you do it? Ie., lay in the back of the bed with a red flag? Thule (or similar) truck racks?

I'd rather not buy racks. Please share the size of your truck bed and yak.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
