I have to transport many older dogs including my own 14 year old Shepard. I bought this ramp to replace my aluminum bi fold ramp which was heavy and always scratching my car and ripping my upholstery. This ramp is better than I had thought it would be. It is very light and handles my 80 pound dog without flexing. It is narrow enough to use in the side doors of my Mazda3. It is long enough to use with my Tacoma crew cab. The surface is very grippy so my dog can just walk up the ramp without a running start.
