Will an ATV fit in the bed of a short bed Dodge with the tailgate up? I know that Dodge short beds are a little shorter than GMC/Chevy and want to know if , say a Honda Rancher or Foreman, will fit in there.

Yes it will fit. I haull a 400ex in the bed of my D/A short bed with tool box. It almost fits.

The Ram's bed is actually shorter than a Dakota's in the short bed form. It is also shorter than Chevy/GMC short beds by about 3 inches. Im thinking a quad cab with long bed will solve any dilema I may have.

best way to be sure is to just measure the ATV.

My kid's LT-Z400 fits fine in out shortbed with the tailgate shut. Have you considered breaking out the tape measure?
