I am sure there have been questions and post about this in the past so be patient if this is old news...
I want to purchase a Rhino, Teryx or something similiar (5 seat, looking for a used one by the way) but don't know how to fit that and a full size quad (Raptor or the Polaris) in the garage with it.
Any ideas if this is possible? Maybe photos if you have them.
Thanks.

I second Rhino Ron's answer. If you want a 5 seater, you are going to end up with a Ranger. They are several inches wider than the Rhinos. I don't see how you could get both in there. JMHO

Okay now we have two more things to figure out...
Did you get rid of the trailer of the Rhino?
Is a ranger really better for the 5 seater, and is it as good as a Rhino?

I've never seen a 5 seater Rhino unless you're talking about a bench back seat instead of bucket seats. (You would have to have realllllyy little kids to fit that one..) IMHO The Ranger has a longer wheel base making it not as agile, and easier to get "high sided". We have some friends with the ranger, and it just can't go where we can...

Well you can get some dolleys of some sort and slide rhino & quad in sideways or stand quad up and slide in sideways along side of rhino? (we dont have quads so i dont know if they are too wide standing sideways)
We do a rhino with 2'spacers and offset wheels and can still get 3 dirt bikes all 230's along side and a 125 behind the rhino we put all the gear bags and anything else inside the rhino.
We have a door but some garage models have a slider and you could pull quad into rv? When we get too full we will do that with the bikes Put one or 2 in the living area.
I have even heard of some getting rid of the wall and if we could do that structurally and needed to to fit our stuff i would do it.
Watch the height of the rhino if you have any drop down beds in the garage.

- Yes, we would do a bench, I have seen this (3 four point harness on the back bench). What do you man high sided? My kids are young (under 4) but I would not want to limit ourselves.

Hockeymom,
How many kids do you put in the Rhino (it is a 4 or 5 seater)? We don't have the slider either (or bunks in the garage) but I might try the modified dolly approach and see it could be turned. I have to measure one out and see if it will work.

We wanted to put 3 belts in the back seat I told the guy that did our set up but he didn't i have seen it for very small children but the belts we got were wide and just wasn't room so we just have a 4 seater crank the stock shocks all the way if you put anything over 50lbs back there it will bounce!! We still are deciding long travel,mid travel or really expensive shocks only we still need to do the bikes.
There are things called toy racks and if you don't have the beds back there that would be perfect for you, I think you can do it side ways if you do take a pic would be helpful to someone else that may have the same issue.
We usually take camp kids in ours we wanted it for our grand kids and one of them rode back there 1st time this past weekend she fit just great and i could see 3 small kids back there she didn't take up much room but she is only 3.

Okay, borrowed a Rhino and let me tell you in a 12' garage you can't fit a full size quad next to it. Looks like we will have to decide Rhino or quads. Kids quads will fit next to it, but nothing like a Raptor.
