Sweet, where are you heading? We were going to do Medicine, but I had my plans changed for me.

I'm pretty happy with my HI-RISE alum deck (made in BC)
I like the beaver tail, the ramp is a little heavy after a full day of brapping but its very solid .. doesn't bend at all.. mine does not have the slide outs, i've hit a few trees and street signs parking it downtown vancouver .. but then again I can leave a pair of sleds on there for 2 weeks at a time and not worry
really good welds, and a very good designed box / leg underneath. Awesome service as well from them in burnaby.
but alas, it's time for the sweet deck to come off and the boat to get hitched up !!

So I've got it narrowed down to Cross-trax, Bull Dog, and Marlon.
I know the Marlon is the Chinese knockoff of the old Marathon. Anyone run these, are they lasting or busting up. Is the ramp telescopic?
The Bulldog sounds like the ticket as it's got expanding sides, telescopic ramp, and a rear extension is available.
The Cross-trax sounds decent as well although it has a pin together ramp. This sounds like a bit of a pain but I'm going to go have a looky next week. Anyone use one of these ramps? Is it a PITA? Can one guy put this together without doing any acrobats?
Thanks,
Shawn

Shawn: With dooing lots of reading and pumping up my custom flat deck, I found that the Chinese knock-offs aren't what one should consider. Lots of complaints on S&M and on DooTalk. The other two, it's your choice man! Good luck, fs

Forget the Marlon. Why support the Chinese when you can get a great deck built in our country. Support our workforce.

Stf decks are a copy of my marathon I had 15 yrs ago. Two marathon models ago Good decks but a real old design. If you have a new truck the marathon truck boss is a must. My deck is slick. Looks slick. And works slick. Way better than a tarnished finish of the other decks. I will say it was expensive.

How are the sides of your box holding up?

Marathon.
:d
:dSTF is out of business. I've got a 5yr old Marathon and it's a great deck...that's the only reason I was considering a marlon.
How are the side slides holding up on your Truck Boss? I thought it looked like a head ache with ice and dirt. I'm leery to recommend one as it has not been on the market long, and for the price I'm sure my buddy doesn't want to be a guinea pig.

I'm impressed with mine. It's been to bc 24 trips still looks like new sleds off and on all winter. I also put my kawi terex on it for a few times. So far so good. Box side hold the terex which Is twice as heavy as my 2 nitros on there

I have got a STF that has a lot of miles on it, and no issues except fixing broken welds on the ramp from time to time. I spent a while debating between a truckboss and an enclosed trailer, ended up ordering a trailer. My buddy got a truckboss and has used it a LOT, no issues. He got the support legs at the back, to be on the safe side.
