    i picked up a set from tractor supply a few years back they are a tri fold ramp and they are aluminum and light, they have lasted years now and strongly reccomend them. but i will say if you drive a lifted truck, mines a 03 f 250 6 inch lift on 35 inch tires. you will want somethign a little longer.
    ok here goes, 85 atc70,2 84 atc70's 83 alt50,83 atc110 , 70 us 90 parot green, 85/86 350x garage queen, stock rider 85 350x, project 85 350x 85 250r drag bike, 2 85 250sx's, alt185, , scat tracker?99blaster,85 250r rider,85 250r ice racer project ,93 kx500,99 xr200r, 91 dr250s ,89 lt500 quadzilla,88 lt250quadracer, 88 trx250r race full on race quad,, 01 yamahakodiak400, kawaki kd100,lt50 for my doughters,93 300ex, 230 quadsport, lt185, lt250 quadrunner,84200s, is that enough?

    I think I got my trifold aluminum ramp at harbor freight. You can't hardly beat it.

    I just pick the front wheel up and set it on the tailgate. Then I get ahold of the grab bar and lift, push, grunt, and cuss when the front wheel turns and I have to start over. I need to get a set too, but I cant bring myself to spend the money on a set. LOL

    Back your truck up to a hill with the tailgate down and ride the trike right on, other then that you can just get 3 boards and hope none of them slip while pushing it on.

    My opinion on a loading ramp: the great day inc. tri fold ramp. aluminum very light weight. sturdy, will actually load a utv.

    Here's what I use. Long enough for a 4wd GMC. $142.99 delivered to my front door in the big brown truck. Rungs are 5 1/2 inches apart.

    Just make sure they don't slip off the truck.
    I load mine straight across from the lawn to the driveway.
    Just enough hill to be even with the tailgate and the dunes has a loading dock type ramp to offload.

    Whatever you get, make sure you lock it to the truck when yer off riding so they're still there when you get back.

    just hook bungee cords from the ramp to you hitch or bumper so it keeps it up against the truck . or a strap .
