I have a dodge ram 1500 short bed and I throw a 12 foot aluminum v and and 14 foot canoe in the back all the time. Just strap 'em down. I will tell you the 12 foot is a pain in the butt if you're going to use a TM + Battery. I actually skipped fishing this Sunday because I was too hung over to load all the crap in the truck to get to my pond a mile away and then unload it, just to do it all over again in a couple of hours. But the 12' is a lot nicer to fish out of.
