Pet Ramps for Bigger pickups

Finding a commercially available ramp long enough to reach the tailgate and still have a reasonable angle may be difficult. We use a Petstep folding ramp to get our aging Golden in/out of the back seat of the F350 FX4. Works great for that. But would be a pretty stiff angle for the tailgate.

For my truck I made a ramp out of 3/8 plywood reinforced by 1x2 on the edge's. I put non slip tape you get at the hardware store on the surface. Works great and is light. I keep it in the back of the truck.

I bought a telescopic fiberglass ramp and it was a pain to expand and was heavy. Its been in the garage for years now.

I will not let my Collies jump anymore because of there age. Mikko broke his ankle jumping out of my blazer. I would never of thought of that happening.

The Collies ride where the back seat was, took it out and put in a wood platform. I put the ramp on the ledge of the bottom of the door and they walk up and in. It took my guidance a few times until they got the hang of it.
