Fitting Mule In F250 8' Bed

[glcaines]

Will an M274A2 mule fit inside a 2010 Ford F250 with an 8-foot bed? The distance between the wheel wells is 49.9 inches. The specs on the Mule have the width at 50 inches, but I don't know if the distance between the outer side of the Mule wheels is 50-inches or some other part of the mule frame is 50-inches. If the wheels won't fit between the wheel wells for loading, I can always make some short ramps to get the Mule wheels past the wheel wells. I just won a Mule at auction, so I can't take any measurements myself, but I want to be prepared when I pick it up.

Mine fit perfectly in the bed of an M1028 (backed in). I'll measure the distance between the wheel wells, and the pertinent parts of the Mule, when I get home this afternoon.

We had to stick a 2x12 under the front wheels to make sure the foot basket didn't scrape on the tailgate when closed. If I recall, it just cleared, but we thought it would hit when bouncing down the road.

Cheers

I appreciate the feedback. I'm picking up the Mule in the morning. I'll let everyone know the results in case someone else is in the same position.

It will fit

It fit very easily. However, loading the Mule backwards with the basket out the back, the tailgate wouldn't close.

But you got it moved (I hope)?

I'll have to zap you with this -
