I have never thought about being able to do that!

Hell, that alone is reason enough to keep the Av.

Wait, you have the same bike as me, the same truck as me, and the same name as me? WTF this is creepy

Broncos are pretty cheap, I think I might pick one up and try it out. If it doesn't work I'm only out a few bucks in tax.

No Av for me. Bike and name, yes.

I meant for you to keep it.

I'd love to have one and use it as you do but there is no way I'm sleeping under the stars in the FL humidity.

An El Camino would be a LOT easier to get a bike up into the back. Low to the ground so you'd just need two aluminum ramps or hopefully not, two boards.

So I'll go with either the El Camino or the Ranchero.

Neither of those will pull a car trailer, nor will they go where I need to in the desert.

Snag a 2002 avalanche, loaded, 4x4 for around $10,000. Perfect.

You started this thread to ask if the bikes could be hauled "in" a vehicle. You never said anything about a trailer or desert.
