How to Choose The Ramp Rack That’s Right for Your Truck
What’s a great way to improve safety, efficiency, costs, and ease-of-use when it comes to your truck? If you said “truck ramp” you’d be on the right track. If you said “The Ramp Rack” you’d be spot on! Our pickup truck ramps are designed to improve all of those things for anyone who relies on their truck for labor purposes—landscaping, delivery services, heavy equipment transportation, and so on. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t a decision to be made here, because there’s more than one Ramp Rack. To account for the wide variety of pickup trucks that hit the road every day, we’ve designed several versions of our revolutionary truck ramp.
So which one is the best fit for your truck? There are a few things you should consider before making your final choice. Let’s take a look!
Determine Your Needs
Before browsing what’s on offer at The Ramp Rack, consider the following:
What will you be loading?
One of the most important factors to consider is the type of cargo you’ll be transporting on a regular basis—with extra emphasis on its weight. Different Ramps Racks are rated to handle different load sizes, so choosing one that can support the proper amount of weight is crucial. For example, if you’ll be hauling around a single mower or ATV, our Sport Unit is a great choice. It’s a lighter ramp that’s rated for 800 lbs. On the flipside, the Xtreme Series is rated for larger equipment and up to two commercial mowers.
How often will you use it?
If your pickup truck will be in frequent use—such as loading and unloading lawncare equipment multiple times every day—durability is key. Because every Ramp Rack is designed to be durable, this isn’t a matter of choosing which one to purchase. It’s a matter of ruling out other options that simply won’t serve your needs as well.
Do you want a permanent or removable truck ramp?
Okay, we admit that this one is also less about “which Ramp Rack” and more about “why not other options?” One of the best parts about The Ramp Rack is that it’s removable! If you come across the need to take it off at any point, the process is simple and painless. While other pickup truck ramps are difficult to both install and remove, we’ve made that process a breeze!
Universal Fit
Sport Model
The sport model works on any full size, or lighter duty pickup (including Tacoma, Ranger etc) with a 2" or larger receiver hitch. No measuring needed!
Xtreme Series
The Xtreme series model works on any domestic made full size pickup (1500-3500) with 4 stake pocket holes and a 2" or larger receiver hitch. It includes telescoping bed rails that allow it to work on short or long bed models. No measuring needed!
ST-100
There’s much more variation in flatbeds, box trucks and dump trucks than standard pickup beds. We ask that you fill out
this form for a customized solution that ensures proper fit prior to your purchase.
Accessories
Let’s take a quick detour away from the different Ramp Rack models we offer and discuss another thing you should consider: accessories. If your focus is on lawncare, long hauls, or similar services and uses, we offer add-ons that will make your life easier and keep your equipment safe—gas-can racks, trimmer racks, wheel-well ramps, and more!
Compatibility
There are a lot of pickup truck models out there. Because of this, it’s important to ensure you get a Ramp Rack that works with your vehicle. While our Sport model fits trucks with a 2-inch receiver hitch, the Xtreme series is made for versatility. It includes adjustable bed rails, allowing it to work with short and long beds alike.
Budget and Payment
All of our Xtreme Series units are in a similar price range ($4,095–$4,595), while our Sport Unit is priced at $2,750. As with any purchase similar to this, your budget is an important factor. We recognize that not everyone will be able to make a full payment up-front, which is why we offer flexible financing options. Get in touch with us and we’ll work with you to agree on an appropriate payment plan.

Making sure you choose the right Ramp Rack involves some key considerations that shouldn’t be overlooked—truck measurements, equipment to be used, financing, and more should all be scrutinized.
