Abstract: A recreational vehicle carrier for use with a pickup truck having a bed and side walls comprises a first platform adapted to be fixedly mounted to the side walls of the truck and a second platform adapted to be slidably mounted to the side walls and movable therealong. The platforms present generally planar surfaces which extend between the side walls. The second platform is selectably slidable between a first position overlapping the first platform and a second position adjacent the first platform. The vehicle carrier further includes a pair of ramps removably coupled to a lateral edge of the first platform for loading or unloading a recreational vehicle. A vehicle is loaded onto the second platform when the second platform is at the first position and onto the first platform when the second platform is at the second position.
