Ramp Preferences

[codglvr]

Anyone have recommendations for ramps for trucks. I don't want a real heavy one as I would be setting it up between 2 and four times a day for the dogs. It is also going to be stored in the back of the truck with the dogs, so I don't want a real wide one. I don't have a problem with lifting the dogs in and out of the truck, but I'm sure my back would appreciate the break. Oh by the way, e do have a topper on the truck, so they are not just riding around in the back.:D

I have a Pet Step I bought at Petsmart for my SUV. I've been very happy with it. It folds in half and you simply swing it open and set it against the bumper. It weighs about 18 lbs and stores fairly easily.
The ridges on the step keep it from being slippery. My expedition is quite tall and it still works great.

We just got a twisstep from petsmart. It hooks into your trailer hitch. It twist around so you can store it under the truck/suv. My old guy jumps right up on it and into the back of the truck with no problems. I found it in the magazine, but not on the petsmart website, but I think you can order it directly from the manf.

There's a guy on the west coast that sells ramps on ebay and online. He makes them himself, and they fold up and are lightweight, made of aluminum I think. He also makes motorcycle, ATV, lawnmower, etc. ramps. I'll see if I can find his website.
