Marlon single loader in a 1/4 ton?

[Bourboncty]

Does anyone have experience using this sled deck in a 1/4 ton and traveling long distances? Any pictures of setups. I might be downsizing from my 3/4 ton soon but don't want to regret going to a 1/4 ton.

I'm not familiar with the 1/4 ton moniker, but assume you're referring to mid-size (ranger, tacoma etc)?
I have a hunch that a half ton may get better fuel economy than a mid-size when hauling a snowmobile and certainly will handle the load better.
Most could handle the weight if it were properly located inside the bed, but when fulcrumed out over the rear wheels hanging out the bed takes a short box half-ton to it's limits. I would think a long drive (in a mid-size) would be miserable.

Now more importantly, about your name... What are your Bourbons of choice and how do you prefer it served?

Used the Marlon single loader in my 2019 GMC Canyon truck with Ski Doo 154” track. Worked great, no issues!

The model of truck was considered their long box version, I believe the box was 6 foot!
