Recreation vehicle carrier for a truck

A vehicle carrier for use with a pickup truck having a bed with laterally spaced side walls, said vehicle carrier comprising:

• a frame assembly having a pair of laterally spaced apart rails and a pair of opposed end bars extending between ends of said rails, said frame assembly having dimensions substantially equal to dimensions of said truck bed, whereby said rails are adapted to be supported by said side walls;
• a first platform fixedly attached to said rails and extending therebetween adapted to support a first vehicle thereon;
• a second platform slidably mounted to said rails and extending therebetween adapted to support a second vehicle thereon, said second platform having a length shorter than a length of said bed and selectably movable between a first position adjacent said first platform and a second position overlapping said first platform;
• and
• a pair of ramps removably coupled to a lateral edge of said carrier for loading said second vehicle onto said second platform when said second platform is at said second position and for loading said first vehicle onto said first platform when said second platform is at said first position without repositioning said ramps.
