I have a F250 short bed and pull a 24' travel trailer, I have pulled my trailer with my RZR in the back all the way from WV to FL and back. With the tail gate down I take the 3 bolts out of the jack and remove it, I take the propane tanks off and stick them on the floor of the RZR.....it's really not that much trouble to do......now you have plenty of room to turn with out hitting anything with the tail gate. Also if im going very far I place two 2x10 boards cut to fit  from the front of the bed to the end of the gate under the wheels just as a safety measure to help support the gate. I have hauled it with out the boards but feel better with them.
