Wow! That is a really good price on that model from Harbor Freight. But, that particular model is not even 6 feet long. I doubt it would work very well with a full-size, 4x4 pick-up. I'd rather have something longer. I'll search Harbor Freight and see if they have anything else. Thanks for the info, by the way, and thanks to everyone else who has responded as well.

 

dshoe,

I use those ramps from Harbor Freight to load the Vinson into a Ford F-150 4x4, plus I have tires that are 3 sizes bigger than the factory tires too....Works for me with no problems. Just thought I'd let you know.

I went up to Manitowoc, WI today and picked up the best ramps I've ever seen. Ultimate Ramps. They fit into the trucks 2" receiver hitch. I bought a bed extension model, it replaces the tailgate and two 25" wide, 7 foot long ramps attach to it, so one person can easily get them on and off. They fold right up and secure with a hitch pin. They are a hell of a lot safer than the alum ones I was using. Yeah, they cost me a little bit more$. They were $400. but he gave me a ATV securing set along with it. It attaches to the ramp and you drive the ATV on it and put two ratchet straps over the back wheels. Check it out at www.ultimateramps.com . This system is awesome.

 

I bought the tri-fold also, but again, with aftermarket tires (sticking out over the edges), after about 6 or 8 uses, they started to bend (and almost folded up a few times) because the tires (weight) was only on the outside rails. I eventually split them and now just use 2 so the weight is evenly distributed and have had no problems.
