If the large dog is older and has arthritis in his/her hips, those steps can be hard to manage. In addition, if the steps are narrow and tall, it can be harder on the large dogs because they are too long to fit the steps (requiring them to skip steps).
I had done some research into this because I wanted one for the dogs to climb up to the cabover bunk in my class C. I would go with a metal framed one (rather than a plastic) because it will hold the weight better. Look at companies that sell the car ramps - they have some that will fit well for a minivan/suv height and pickup bed heights, so you can pick the best fit.
For my purpose, I went with a 4-step plastic stair. It's bulky (not really collapsible), but is the perfect height:length ratio to sit on the couch and get the dogs to the bunk - although Moose-dog uses it more as a jump platform because the steps are a bit too short for him.
