Home Depot has aluminum ramps that have an arch in them. Yhey work great. Don't remember the price, seems like they were around 150 bucks. Well worth it.

Lowes had the same type for 130 ? 7 ft? Rated 1500 #s.

i have a pair of steel folding ramps .they are heavy but i used them to load tractors and lawn mowers into my f250. they have a slight arc in the center so the undercarriage wont hit.i have had them 16 years.dont even bother with aluminum if you want them to last..let us know how you do.

I've had these aluminum ramps fer 6 or 7 years now. They still look and work great.

scottyb is correct on Lowe's... I got confused. Don't understand how, but hey, it happens...

I have a set of tri-fold ramps that I bought from Northern Tool. They are kind of expensive but you don't have to worry about driving off of the ramps and damaging your truck or cart.

Some other advise, make sure that you buy your ramps long enough. Short ramps can make it a pretty steep trip up your ramps!

yeah. Northern Tools.that's where i got mine originally.
well DS.just about 9 or 10 more years to go but i will still have mine then.

Ford's are tough, but be sure the tail gate straps are as strong as the ramps.

Some of the old cables.....
