JonathanGill Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 Still just dreaming, planning for future HDT adventures... I love the idea of carrying a CanAm Spyder RT on the back. The new ones, loaded up for two, are 111” tip to tail. That’s too wide for the road, yes? Any way to solve for this, other than have two shorter Spyders and a lift?

Darryl&Rita Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 Load at an angle, side to side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickeieio Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 Check out wattsonwheels.info They have a Volvo with a stacker behind the cab to carry two Spyders., I've seen the truck, but they didn't have the Spyders with them so I can't advise which model they're loading. I do know my wife's F3-S is still too long. It has no luggage attached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We built the Watts stacker, so if you have questions let me know. They carry two F3's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickeieio Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 Jack, you are correct, in that the F3-S is only 104", and according to the Can-Am web site, the F3-T is 102.2. I believe the model with the top trunk is a bit longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryl&Rita Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 The RT is 111.5 inches. Longer than a smart car by a country mile. Angle loading time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickeieio Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 I didn't look up specs on the RT, just 2018 F3-S and T. The RT is the one with LOTS of luggage. Yes, you'd have to swing the rear end over a lot. And it's footprint is a triangle, so it would be harder than it first appears. I'll also say, the back of the S is heavy, but at least has handles. Not so with the T or RT, which are heavier to boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickeieio Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 Duh. I was thinking loading two, not one. Yes, if you're gonna drive up a ramp anyway, just extend it to the right spot. The rear trunk on the RT is pretty tall....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
