Where do you get them from Bustergasket? 

 

I've an elderly Boxer findings it impossible to jump up into tailgate any more and reluctant to jump out again from the jolt when he contacts the ground. I thought a folding ramp might be the only option, but I'd look into these. 

I got them from big dog world, based here in u.k., i seriously wished i had them years ago, my mate has blown his Left crutiate ligaments but still can walk up the steps, otherwise taking him out would be a no go, i had to rent a transit van to get him to the vet and the vet dealt with him in the van, i can't help think maybe if i had these earlier he may not have sustained the injury, these are the biggest they do but i needed the width, cost about £260 delivered, if u are in the midlands and want to try them then more than happy for you to give them a try, cheers

One of our rotties is, should I say a little less than athletic, and I keep looking at ramps because although he'll jump out (after being helped in) I don't think it does his joints any good. What's putting me off the ramps is the folded length and I wouldn't want it in the pickup bed sliding around with the dogs. If it goes on the back seat, no room for anyone else!

these fold down to the size of a breifcase but 3 times as wide and heavy, they have mega rubber on the base so don't slide in the back and i have a liner so it's slippy, i put steps in back dog in cab then swap when we get him out so they dong get nicked, hope this helps cheers

My mate is getting older and struggling with a leg injury, i bought these and he took to them instantly, he is about 9 stone, wish i had bought them years ago, i think he does too, they are strong as hell i even walked up them, they fold closed like a big brief case, very impressed
