2007 Tundra Crew Cab, Sled in box????

[sled-fiend]

Can you fit a mountain sled in the box of an 07 Tundra?
Blew a brake line on my F-350 tonight and need to transport a sled this weekend Going to have to take my brothers truck, anyone done this before??

Thanks!!

Ive seen them in old style ford 4 doors with the short box. They were either 4.5ft ot 5.5ft

Tundra

Is it the crewmax or whatever they call it with the really short box? We have one at work, I think it would still fit but that depends what you consider a safe amount of sled hanging out the back.... I can measure it if you don't have yours available.

Yea the Crewmax cab has a 5.5ft box, I'm driving a 155" one way and a 162" on the way back *** I really dont wanna pull a trailer 600Km each way with 1 sled

tie it in, you'll be fine. Got insurance?

Yeah, don't forget the insurance... A couple years ago i bought two sleds and on the way home the trailer hitch failed!

Call me picky, but when you load it keep an eye on the tailgate so you don't bow it permanantly. Maybe put a 2x6 across the tailgate to help spread the load.

Thanks guys! I havent insured the sled yet Good idea on the 2x6
Maybe I'll have to blow a break line everytime I go sledding if this works!!
Tundra sure drives alot smoother than my 07 F-350 POS!

I'm curious to see you're thoughts. I thought about buying a Tundra but thought the bed was too short on the Crew Max. Take a pic if ya could. I might just end up with the Double Cab and the 6'6" bed. Good luck and get insurance. You might be covered for a grace period if you already have it. I'd call to ask.

I put my 159" in the DC Tundra - piece of plywood and an Oxlite bifold ramp works ok.

Sticks out a bit...

Is that the 5.5ft bed?

No, that's a pre-06 model with the 6' box. I have seen a few sleds in Crewmax's around here, the longest was a 159 Rev. It hangs out a bit, and the track is 100% on the tailgate, so some plywood or whatnot to reinforce would be a good idea. If I was goin to do it all the time, I'd go with a deck or a sled bed....I have friends with both in their Crewmax's and they work good.

Well I got the 155" in the back w/o any problems! Shoved some wood under the track do dispurse some of the weight on the tail-gate, not bent YET

You have to reinforce the gate with something Sturdy!!!! I have seen quite a few Bent Toyota tail gates....Dudes were not very happy.
