TrailRamp™ Extra Long Dog Ramp for Lifted Trucks & Pickups

A lifted tailgate is a wall to a big older dog, and most ramps on the market are 60 inches, which turns that wall into a scramble. An extra long dog ramp for lifted trucks fixes the geometry — 71 inches of run against the same tailgate is a noticeably shallower climb. Your dog walks it.

Why standard ramps fail on lifted trucks

A 60-inch ramp looks fine in a product photo. Prop it against a lifted tailgate and it's steep enough that an older large breed reads it, stops, and looks back at you. They're not being stubborn. They're doing the math you didn't.

Length buys angle. That's most of it. But the other half is what happens once a 90 lb dog is actually standing mid-span — a ramp that flexes at the fold point tells the dog it's not safe, and one bad experience is usually all you get.

This one runs an internal load-bearing crossbar through the frame. High-grade aluminum, rated to 250 lbs, and the crossbar is there so the middle of the ramp behaves like the ends.

Built for tailgates and truck beds

Measure your tailgate height first. The 71-inch run is built around a full-size or lifted pickup tailgate — that's the job. Standard pickups, truck beds over an open tailgate, and high side steps all work.

It's 19.3 inches wide, which is 2.3 inches wider than our SUV ramp, and that width is the point: a big dog that drifts sideways on the climb still has surface under both front paws. The walking surface is a soft rug carpet — high-traction fabric rather than moulded plastic, so there's grip from the first step.

A safety tether with a metal hook ties the ramp off so it can't walk sideways while your dog loads, and anti-slip feet hold the base where you set it. And a padded foam handle means you're not carrying 20 lbs of bare aluminum edge.

Open, it lies just 1.1 inches thick. Four-fold, it drops to 19.3" × 19.5" × 6".

The honest trade-off

It's 20.3 lbs. That's heavier than it looks in the photos, and about 2.7 lbs more than our SUV ramp — the extra width and the internal crossbar cost you that, and you feel it every time you lift it into a truck bed.

It's also overkill for a normal vehicle. If your dog is loading into a crossover, a wagon or a standard SUV cargo floor, you don't need this much ramp or this much weight — the Heavy Duty Dog Ramp for SUVs is freestanding, lighter, and sized for surfaces up to 25.45 inches. Buy this one if you drive a pickup.
