The PA fits nicely into the back of my Chevy Avalanche. The bed is 8' long and the tailgate adds a couple more feet, so very little of the yak is unsupported.
Unloading is a breeze as it can just be wheeled out. When we launch from sand beaches, I just backup to the water's edge and plop it in. I've got 4-wheel drive, so not too worried about getting stuck.
The carriage I built is designed to store the PA on its handles as recommended. Bit of a task flipping it upside down but I'm getting better at it. Room to store, dry all my equipment on the carriage--makes it more difficult to forget something but I still manage to do so.
