We need a little bit more info, for example how many people does it need to seat? Are you going to be towing anything if so, what? Are you buying new or used? Do you want full size, v8 or v6? 4wd? What other practical things are you looking to do with it? and lastly whats your budget?

You can't take a trailer? That will be a tight squeeze I think unless you get something like a Sprinter I think...

no budjet this is just preliminary lexus isnt up for year and a couple months but i would like new and seat 4 but needs 2 i was thinking the sprinter is it wide enough for a quad? what about an f150 or soething with quad in bed and double bike carrier?

i noticed your from new york if your worried about the garden state parkway and not being able to take a trailer dow that i drive down the garden state parkway pretty much every weekend with some sort of trailer weather it be our toyhauler or our boat i have driven down there numerous times without any problems

im worried about all of them and once im cought im done i cant do it again so id rather just do it rite for now im fine with my carrier but on the southern state there strict

Well pretty much any truck will do you fine if your going to be using a bike carrier. Im pretty sure a sprinter would fit all that in there fine but am not 100%. I guess if you dont have any preferences and are just gonna put one quad in the bed of the truck (since the 2 bikes are on a carrier as you said) then it comes down to your personal taster best thing you can do is go to dealers and check out the trucks.
