Do 5 stock wheels/tires fit in the bed of the Raptor?

I agree. I don't want to be telling the doctor in the ER "but I'm a man, dammit!" as they wheel me into back surgery...

Lift smart not like some ripped roid.

Yes the tire and wheel are close to 100 lbs.
If you have a tail gate step you can use it as an intermediate stopping point while loading.

I will sometimes put one or two tires on the ground first and lift to there then into the bed.

Joe knows….

Build a little "ladder ramp system" out of the tail gate step….just roll the wheel/tire up to the step….push upward to the top of the tail gate and roll it in..!!

If you have multiple wheels/tires, lay one flat in front of the tail gate step….roll 'em on up the "ramp"…!!

Hell, throwin' them in the bed is easy. Wait until you have to change a tire. That's when you'll see how heavy one of the tires are mounted.

^^ what he said. I have no issues with picking up a tire but trying to precisely picking up a 100 pound tire and get it aligned with the wheel bolts is almost impossible. I wish someone would make a device that would pick up a tire and precisely mount it.

You could probably use something like this:

Mechanical Wheel Dolly - 1250 Lb. Capacity

I looked at that. Max tire width is 10 inches and the raptor is 12.4 inches wide

Summit racing have one that will take a 13" tire.

Use your feet to lift it. That's how I was taught.

That's your problem. Lift with your legs, not your back!

In any event, a makeshift ramp isn't a bad idea to load the tires up.

That's what I do. Sure it takes some fiddling and finagling, but you'll get it

Maybe one of these. Bonus is my dog can use it...
