90 percent of the vehicles I see here are pickup trucks, why not just use the bed? So much more peace of mind when driving down the road. Ski on one side of the bed and beach cart on the other side, perfect setup. The only reason I use a hitch hauler is because I drive a suburban.. Just waiting to save up enough before I pull the trigger on a pickup, can't wait to sleep easy at night.

Ease of lifting the ski in and out of the bed. My hauler is the same height as my beach cart. Slides on and off. Where if I use the bed, I have to get a second hand to lift the ski off the cart

I don't have to put a salty Jetski in the bed of my truck with a hitch hauler. I can put it on piece of steel that's easily replaced every 5 or 6 years if I need to because it's rotted out.

No way I would travel like that. Lots of stress on the hood seal area!
Good point. Thanks!

Strap from the Front to the center. From the Rear to center. Separate straps. Then the one over the rails is fine also.
This is helpful. Thanks again for the advice. I have move it like this a couple of times a year to and from the lake so I hadn't put much thought into it until now.

Good point! Use some foam or towels when running straps across the ski. Those straps will rub into the paint or gelcoat something fierce.
