Why do you guys reject the idea of bed cover? You have the biggest truck industry and culture, we buy those from you and we buy the covers from you, which you don't use for some reason 🙄
I have one of these, bought it when they were offering $200 off last fall. I'm happy with it, it makes loading and unloading the sled super fast. My buddy has a traditional fold up ramp and he's still strapping his to the tailgate and I'm sitting my my sled ready to ride! As others have said it is pretty heavy for one guy to move around, but I leave mine in the truck pretty much all winter. Also as mentioned, you will have to shovel the box out if it snows, but isn't that something you'd do regardless? Lastly when it gets covered in snow and ice sometimes the sled would slide off even with the brake on. So I strapped a piece of plywood to it and screwed down a section of old track, problem solved!
Had a homemade one 20 years ago is still the easiest way I had to get a sled in the back. Cheated a little with an 8 ft box but it stayed in the back under cover all winter long.
Team KOS makes the same ramp for way cheaper. Had it this past winter and loved it. It is heavier then I thought but it’s a great option if you don’t have a trailer.
This is a good concept but the ramp is almost 100lbs dry. When not in use it's a beast to move around the garage etc. I'll make a video of a very simple easy to use ramp that's light and compact. Mark Bow.
@@n539rv I don't actually own one of these ramps but was seriously considering buying one a few months ago. They look like a high quality product which leads to the weight. I had a few conversations with them regarding the weight and how it can be moved around when not in use. They didn't have a solution. I suggest a small wheel embedded in the corners of the frame so it can be rolled on a driveway or garage floor.
After watching this I built mine out of 2x4 for the rails, plywood and caster wheels. ~$100. Scrap metal square tube for traction. Limiting rope on both sides. Worked great until I realized the wheels were digging into the thin sheetmetal of my '15 1500 ram. So I took them off. Still works good. My snowmachine doesn't have reverse so this one person design is awesome.
ya these ramps are nice but who spends extra time tying down their ramp? I put the same strap that holds my sled through the ramp so like it takes literally maybe an extra 2 seconds
For around a thousand bucks ... you need to tie down your ramp with locks and chains .... because when you get back from your ride .... you will realize that they took the highway 🤣🤣🤣
A word of WARNING!!!! I just ordered a DGRP ramp last week and tried it out this weekend. When you first use it, there is a learning curve and it feels sketchy to run it up onto the back of the truck with the angle so high. In the first couple of attempts, the cleat that secures it to the tailgate moved out of place and went up onto the top of the tailgate. In the next few attempts, the tailgate buckled and tried to close. Eventually, I learned the speed to run it up the ramp and it worked as advertised. However, I just went to load it now to get out for a ride and the triangular cleat moved to the top of the tailgate and the whole mechanism came back on me like a trebuchet. Fortunately, when the ramp came back on me I went in between the openings in the center of it; otherwise, it would have been an ugly death or serious head injury. When it came back on me like a fulcrum it twisted off-center and the front of my sled took some of the impact and broke the headlights. I laughed as my family was out in the yard with me so as to not scare the kids but my wife and I knew that I just escaped certain horrible death or worse a life-changing head injury. Never cowboy it as is shown in this video and others I have seen on youTube but always, always, always strap it down as it says right on the ramp instructions. Thank you, God, for not killing me today.
I chain mine to the truck when I leave it unattended. Another option if space is available would be to leave it on the ground and back the truck over the center section.
I did what Darren Daoust did and there was no threat of theft. So that’s not a reason to not purchase this product. Poor design and safety risk are the reasons.
Just bought one and I hate it. Great concept but it doesn’t work or at least not for my short box tundra. I have a short 137 free ride and you still need to have the spindles nearly at the front of this ramp in order to balance and lift the back. Then your skis hit the front of the bed not the ramp like it should. Also with the sled farther back the bumper is right in your face when trying to lift the ramp so then you have to lift the sides which cause it to twist and not roll. Lastly the wheels are perfect lines up with the gap of the tailgate and bed. Judge efforts to get it to roll up and over smoothly. I’m 6’3 220 and in shape so it’s not for a lack of size.
The downside is when you get back to your truck after a long ride you have to figure out how to get your sled back in the truck because someone liked your ramp so much they just took it
I can guarantee you that no one is stealing this death machine. If they do, leave your address and phone number on it because they will return it once they use it a couple of times. They’ll force you to take it back. I’ve experienced and heard too many stories of close calls about the dangers of using this device or devices like it. Marlon has one similar to this but I don’t know anyone who has tried it and I don’t know if it is as dangerous as this one. DRRP ramp is well built, I will give them that but poorly designed and risky to use in my opinion.
I leary of it not being secured to anything. I like the homemade ones that use a hitch mounted support bar you can lock pin the deck to. Added benifit of not putting that much weight on the tailgate@@Buster_Baits
I have used it several times now, and I have spoken to others who have the same issues that I have experienced, that this ramp is difficult to use especially the loading of the sled on the ramp. There is very little room for error. I'll take my losses and buy a trailer.
Third season with a sled deck. Trailer hasn’t moved in 3 yrs except to move a lawn mower. No bearings lights tires reg. Looks like a nice ramp but 15 bones is to much when you could do a sled deck or enclosed trailer for a bit more.
Any disadvantages of the sled deck? I travel 34 hrs one way every year for snow and I like my sleds nice and waxed, but i also take 3 or 4 sleds sometimes, so I'm up in the air about one.
Big disadvantage is it not in an enclosed trailer. Point I’m making is for just a bit more coin your into the sled deck or enclosed trailer. For the same cost your on a open trailer or for almost free your in a pickup bed with a snow bank. If you like your stuff shiny and clean a sled deck is not for you.
check out the manufacturers website per link in the description ... they show using it on a lifted truck. Safe to say you can use it as pretty steep angles.
I’ve loaded and unloaded my sba 800 144 by myself lots of times on level ground without one of these just me a truck and the sled it’s easy if you know what you’re doing I’m sure there is people out there that have common sense and know what I’m talking about. I can load quads by myself too without hardly having to move a muscle. Use your brain not your back.
Your dreaming if you think the junk tail gates on the paper thin trucks they build can handle the weight of this great idea!!! If you want pics of my ford tail after a year of this awesome invention I’ll supply!!!
Looks Slack, Snow bank or ramps are best period. More crap people design to make Beer Money. So frozen ice chunks in truck bed would that make the wheels NOT TURN? Then you still have to use tie downs to hold it on ?
I chain mine to the truck when I leave it unattended. Another option if space is available would be to leave it on the ground and back the truck over the center section.
And while you are out riding if someone doesnt steal it you will be lucky . What if you get 6 inches of snow while you are out riding , how well will those wheels roll
Sometimes if you have a trailer, you have nowhere to put it when its not in use. Thats why these ramps are nice. Even if you are hauling a trailer, its just one more sled you can haul. I think its a good idea.
For $3k used. Then it is too light to haul your sports car in. A proper enclosed that can do more than sleds is a minimum $12k if you want to haul 4 sleds or a car.
Unlike most folks with room to park a trailer, some of us live a rental property without said luxury, and as far as cost goes, this ramp/slider concept is perfect for those with no extra space for a trailer but still have a space to store said ramp inside a garage or basement.
@@JeepCherokeeful I seen the prototypes in use quite a while ago and they're slick. They work with quads and sleds no problem. They also make kit to convert it to a trailer, so it has multiple uses.
I clicked the link to the website for this ramp, its CANADIAN made as well .... care to reason why you assume this was made by some other country if that is what you assume?
Naw easiest way is just put it on a trailer forget that bed loading crap for a snowmobile plus your tailgate will be pounded in rock chips being down all the time hauling that
You easterners are so prissy. Get a sled deck or use a ramp, drive up the sled, then push the back end of your sled up, close your tailgate with the track on top and done.

Thank you for the warning
That 1st gen though!
Damn, where was this suggestion when I was buying my ramp this year.
That ram is beautiful
Japanese Kei truck. Cheaper than ramp and comes with bonus engine and wheels.
bet that will work good with a bunch of snow and ice in the bed. Just a regular set of ramps with glides on there works just fine.
Have none of you commenting about some snow or ice ever think of OH HEY A *SNOW SHOVEL* ?
What size truck bed is that?
It looks like it works dandy with no snow ice built up over the season.
So many of you commenting this, clearly too non creative or thoughtful to carry and use a snow shovel to shovel out the snow!
Seems cool, but I’m just wondering how you can keep it from being stolen? Can someone just walk up and take it if there’s not a sled on it?
Yes, unload your sled, go ride and its gone when you get back, best 2000 dollar investment ever
