Pet GearsupertraX Ramps for Dogs and Cats, Maximum Traction Surface, Portable/Easy-Fold (No Tools Required), Built in Handle for Travel, 5 Models, 42-71 Inches Long, Supports 150-200lbs Black/Green

First of all, I would like to point out some issues with most of the bad reviews:For one, too many people are not considering the angle to the height that the ramp is to be used for. The higher up you go, the more length is necessary to keep the angle at a reasonable degree so it won't be too steep. But it would seem some people don't realize that, or they just don't want to spend anymore than the least they can possibly get away with so they buy the 42" and complain about how terrible it is. I'm all for saving money, but a little common sense goes a long way. So yeah, if you buy the 42" ramp, it may be too steep for your vehicle height. That is not the fault of the ramp, but the buyer.Second, the shorter ramps are going to be more narrow, which you may need to accommodate your door opening if you even can use a side door, but your dog may not feel secure walking a narrow plank. Older, larger dogs don't often see well and kind of waddle, unable to put one foot in front of the other as they did when they were young. They need a wider berth.Third, and this is the biggie... again a little critical thinking goes a long way here... so many reviewers are giving bad reviews for it not fitting in the side doors of their vehicles. NOWHERE in the pictures nor description, does the manufacturer show or state that it can be used on side doors of vehicles, with the exception of one pic of a minivan. It is made to go into the rear hatch, but will also work with a sliding side door like a minivan as one picture shows. Trying to get it onto the door sill of a car (sedan) door will not work in most cases. You may get the shortest ramp to fit into a front door on some vehicles, but most back doors don't open that far. This is all just basic geometry that is obviously not some people's strong suit. People just want what they want, and logic be damned. SMHMy crew cab pickup has plenty of door opening space to accommodate a ramp. Toyota Tundra's have the largest back door and rear seat leg room, bigger than Dodge. I for one, took all of this into consideration when I bought the first ramp (different brand) for my 4 door crew cab truck. I desperately needed some assistance with getting my 2 large dogs (80 & 90 lbs) in and out of the truck to go to the Vet. I actually went out and measured the door opening and the angle at which it's open, and compared that with the width of the other brand of ramp I purchased. That ramp is a little narrower than this one (17" wide), and has a sandpaper like surface for grip. It also telescopes instead of folding. Telescoping can be an advantage, to get the exact length you need or desire. That ramp stays on the floor in the backseat of my truck because it's rather heavy and I don't feel like carrying it to and from all the time. Besides that, my dogs own the backseat, so I don't worry about accommodating people back there. If need be, people can just put there feet on top of it. Washing it is a bit of a pain as I have to take it to the car wash and blast it with water to get the grit out of the tracks or it won't slide.Now for this ramp review. Needing something a bit more user friendly, I bought this one solely to use indoors. I have a tall bed and my dogs are older now and cannot make the jump up that high. On top of that, jumping down to the floor (3 ft) is quite hard on their joints. One of them has a partially ruptured Achilles tendon and cannot jump at all anymore. She was feeling left out and sad, you could tell by the look on her face, when her sister and I would go to bed every night and she had to stay on the couch. She came in many times and sat next to the bed looking up and wanting to jump, but she never did and would eventually go back to the couch. I even made wooden stairs for them to use. At first that worked, but after a couple years, she couldn't manage the stairs anymore. And even when they did use the stairs, they would still jump down, rather than going down the stairs. So I've been very concerned about joint damage from jumping down as well as getting up on the bed.This is a very well designed and constructed portable ramp. It's lighter weight than my truck ramp. It's easy for me to fold and move around. Being that I'm not using it for a vehicle that has a door sill for it to rest on, I set it on top of the 26" high wooden stairs that I made, next to the bed. From there they can jump or step one foot up onto the bed. I like the texture of the SuperTrax mats on it. They are soft but give very good grip, which is something that can be a total deal breaker for older dogs with less sure footing. Once they try and slip or fall on something, good luck getting them to ever be trusting of said device. And the mats are removable, attached with velcro, so they're easy to remove and clean in a sink or washtub or garden hose. And the plastic ramp itself can be washed by hand, hosed, pressure washed, sterilized with strong disinfectants if need be, you name it. But I don't foresee ever needing more than a damp rag to wipe it down.Now for the weight rating. Some have complained about it not holding the weight of dogs it says it does. And that's confusing. One place says 150 lbs for the 71" ramp, another says 200 lbs. I cannot comment on the smaller 42" and 66" sizes as I bought the 71" x 19.5" ramp. For my 90 lb dog, it only bounces/bows a little, maybe a half inch when she uses it. That doesn't bother her or affect her ability to use it. I weigh 145 lbs and I can walk all the way up it and it only bows about an inch in the middle when I get to that point. That's to be expected with a plastic ramp that spans 6 ft in length. The longer the span and more weight, the more deflection there will be. So if you really need 150 lbs or more of load capacity, you may not be satisfied with even the largest of these ramps.Overall, this is a very nice ramp. It's light enough for me, 67 yr old woman, for lifting and carrying. The textured gripping pads are like rubber spaghetti, so very soft and pliable. It folds and locks and has a carrying handle. It has a nylon strap at the top with a carabiner to attach it to the U shaped latch in the back door opening of an SUV, which is what the ramp is designed for. So if you have a car and want a ramp, you better buy a short step stool to place on the ground below the door and lay the ramp sideways on it. I'm very pleased with it, and my Jilly Bean is happy as can be back on the bed again.

I think this ramp is great except for the fact that it's impossible to secure it to the car. For that reason, I wrote "great with some reservations" in the headline, meaning that the ramp is useful but that safety needs to be a top priority when the dog is on the ramp. Safety is a concern with other ramps, as well, since some of the breeds tend to distrust the ramp and will try to jump off or may even fall off due to nervousness.I bought the ramp used from the Amazon Warehouse. It was advertised as "Used - Like New." In my opinion, that means "mint" condition. I think it would have been more accurate to describe it as "Used - Very Good" because it did show signs of wear.All of that aside, the ramp is exactly what I needed. My 30 lb. Sheltie is a therapy dog and no longer likes to jump up into the car as she did when she was younger. She is too heavy for me to lift into the car on our weekly trips to hospitals, schools, and nursing homes.Having read that some people use treats to get a dog to walk on the ramp, I tried a different approach and used treats after she had walked up the ramp and after she had walked down the ramp. I opened the driver's side door and propped the curved section of the ramp on the rim of the car door opening, taking care that it was sturdily in place. I then grasped my dog by the collar and gently walked her up into the front seat and repeated the process back down. We did this twice and then I rewarded her with her favorite treat. I repeated the training in the same way for the next two days. By the third day, she was running up and down the ramp with little assistance or guidance from me. She was delighted to do so because she knew her favorite treat would be given to her upon completion of her task.My only concern is that the ramp might fall off the edge of the opening to the car. There really is no way to secure it or to actually snap-it-in-place. For that reason, I would never let her run up and down the ramp without my guidance to be sure that the ramp stays in place and that she doesn't accidentally dislodge it.One reason I bought the ramp and really like it is that it weighs only 7 lbs. I am almost age 70 and am small in size. I have used heavier ramps belonging to my friends and don't feel that it's easy to carry or lift bigger ramps or fold them. This ramp is easy to fold and is really nice. I am so glad that I bought this ramp at a great price and that my dog has easily adjusted to using it.I will add that I drive a Ford Focus and that this short ramp is ideal in pitch and length. I had thought about getting a longer ramp, but it isn't necessary. This length works well.

Update Returned larger heavier one & replaced it with the shorter light one. It’s perfect & easier to use but can only be used for back seat. To short for use into trunk of my SUV!Original was bit heavier then I thought, BUT I was able to fold the last piece under and my dog could easily get into the back seat of my Cherokee. Eventually I will use the full length to get her into the back. She is very afraid of ramps. This has a green carpet which is good for traction. This wider ramp made it easier so she didn’t fall off! I’m only 4’10” so it’s a bit difficult for me to lift into back hatch but I was very great fil that it worked for Nala. Well constructed & strong! Not flimsy!

The ramp is well made and is marketed as a car/truck ramp for pets. I like the width and the non-skid material used.I think that for someone looking for a ramp for your car/suv that is used daily to board and de-board your pet , the ramp is too heavy . It's very well made but at the expense of too heavy . Does the plastic need to be so thick ? Remember this is suppose to be a portable break down and up ramp.I will be using this ramp on one of my couches that my dogs use and leave on permanent basis . As far as a daily portable use 2-3 times per day and store in back seat , I will keep looking .

Works great for tailgates/little bulky to get into passenger seat( less stable)hook is in the middle so the hook is too short to reach passenger door frame latch.Otherwise a great product to help your older dog.

Easy to handle and ideal for entrance to the back of the SUV for the two corgis to walk up/down. Compact and fits between the back hatch and kennel entrances.

The ramp makes it easy for my dog to get in and out of the truck

Cette rampe est parfaite, facile à installer et elle est antidérapante

Esta muy útil. La parte verde es muy cómoda y suave. Poco a poco mi perrita se va acostumbrando y es que tiene 15 años y ha perdido visibilidad . Es excelente

The design of the back door of the Jeep combined with the height of the Jeep makes it very challenging for my dog to "jump" in. Lifting a dirty wet 120 lb dog into the back seat is not always fun so this ramp really comes in handy. I added some clips at the top to clip it in place at the narrow back door edge so it doesn't have a chance of slipping out of place no matter how clumsy the dog is.
