I have a set of Black Ice Ramps. Works well.

Caliber also makes them.

I believe the Black Ice are a tad longer which make a better transition between truck tailgate and ramp.

Thanks Don, you have dimensions? Ive seen some that look too short, and others that are so long they look combersome

 

I have the Caliber ramp that works very well. I think it's about 7ft long and is good even on my 3/4 ton HD truck. I did have to add the plastic protectors in the middle due to having studs on one of my sleds. Only issue sometimes is getting the ramp out after the sled is loaded since the lugs interfere. If you put a couple 2x4s under the rear of track while loading that helps.

 

I put a 4 x 8 sheet of plywood ( or OSB board ) in the box of the truck first, and about 4" from the end of it I have screwed a 2 x 6 x 12" onto it. This holds the track up off the end of the plywood sheet just enough to still be able to get the ramp out & back in when loading & unloading. Because this 2 x 6 is screwed to the plywood it will not get kicked out from the track.

I use a tri fold ramp that's about 80" long, & it will go between the left ski & track on about a 45 degree angle. To install it you must push the back of the sled over to the right to wedge the ramp in between the back of the left ski & track. Once in place, you slide the sled back in place, so now the ramp is wedge tight in place between the ski/track & side of the box. The sled is also now straight when sitting in the box of the truck. I still hold the ramp in place with a ratchet strap, but I don't think it would ever move as long as the sled stays in place.

 

Might want to run plywood over the tailgate also for support. Their was a thread a while ago where a guy buckled his aluminum tailgate loading his sled.

 

I have a Caliber ramp as well. Works great, it came with the grip glides for the skis, so easy to walk down if needed. I slide it on edge next to the sled and bungee it to the side bed hooks, easy.

 

I looked at them all and tried some, the new Caliber Ramp Pro 2.0 seems like the best of the group. That's what I bought.

52" wide and 90" long.

 

Thanks, leaning that way, just want to make sure i get it long enough

 

Black ice 7ft 10 inch ramp is well worth the money. Spend the money on thw track grabbers too. Well worth it

 

Ramps work great, used them for years, but should be secured well. I use a strap on each side and often another one down to the hitch. With no straps the ramp can push under the truck and come back and hit the rider, tragic accidents have happened.
When unloading if you slide a ski under the ramp on one side things get interesting and hard on taillights - the reason to snug each side into the tailgate.
I’ve never bent a tailgate loading ATVs or sleds, but plan to begin using plywood on my next truck after reading the broken tailgate thread.
And, good ramp traction is important. I’ve seen sleds on cabs, skis through rear windows, and other carnage when a spinning track hooks up.
I prefer hauling a sled in the pickup bed for traction and convenience. If we’re taking three machines the shortest one rides in the truck. A good cover makes a difference too, I really like my ride-on brp cover.

 

I use a ramp, have for years, I'd recommend you wear a helmet and tether when you load, at a min wear the tether.

 

And don't stand when unloading. If track grabs your body moves forward and next thing you know your leg is pining the throttle wide open.

 

Caliber and black ice like stated above are probably best bet. I have a yutrax brand that works good. Just make sure it's at least 7ft long and over 50inches wide

 

I also use the Black Ice ramp and it's been great.
If you search "Black Ice Ramp" on here you will find a couple of old topics I posted in with pictures.
In the mean time here are a few that I found in my phone. It's my 1200XR in the bed of my 2015 F150.

 

 

After using my truck several years here’s some things I’ve learned. Old ramp 6.5ft by 50in Now I use a 7ft by 54in big improvement. I also have been using a 5ft wide by 4ft deep 1/2 plywood a 2by3 screwed to bottom 5ft width this sits against my tailgate between the ramp and tailgate and on top I have two stretches. Of 2by6 the track sits on does two things distribute some of the weight from tailgate onto box and elavates the track to slide ramp under track for loading unloading. When I’m done sled delivery I turn the plywood sideways and ramp on an angle close tonneau cover and tailgate. After 7yrs my tailgate is like new where I have seen others shred their tailgates not using any protection

 

Consider these Instructions - DG Manufacturing. Tailgate Support Bars have them for my Ram when I put my ATV in the back.

 

caliber, its 7.5 feet long. look for aused one as they are stupid money now. paid 400 think the list is 7

 

Thanks for all the input! I picked up a Black Ice ramp on fb classifieds for $90. Screamin deal
