    Alright, you guys are on point every time so let's try again.

    I need some kind of a loading ramp to put some really heavy stuff into my truck. I have to load an older Cruisin USA arcade game with drivers seat. It is heavy as can be and it would be a lot easier if I could Dolly it in as opposed to having to lift. Anyone seen anything like this?

    I remember that game!
    :worthless:

    Haha sorry no real contribution here. You can look at some atv/utv Ramps at harbor freight. Also backing the truck to a curb will help make the angle less.

    Or even better would to rent a trailer at uhaul. Good luck.

    Rent a trailer , the length of ramp you will need to safely (not break the game or you) load it will cost too much !

    Ya, I was thinking of a dual axle uhaul 6x10. Only problem is the game is in San Diego at my Siter in laws 517 miles away. There is a 55mph speed limit when towing a trailer. If it's in the truck I can do 80 easily.

    Don't have pics to post cause I don't have it unless you guys want a pic of my dirty ass truck.

    Actually, the ramp I linked above won’t fit in the crew max bed. You’ll probably need a narrower one that folds in half. And be sure to strap to your hitch before loading something that heavy.

    Problem with a rental truck is you pay milage, no milage with a trailer but speed restrictions. Hence put it in the truck.

    Makes me think of the video on facebook last week by “Ford Trucks” showing off the new tailgate that has the option of a built in ramp that slides out for loading atvs and stuff.

    They got roasted so hard they had to take the video down.

    Literally every comment was someone saying “now you can load up your atv or golfcart so you arent stranded when your ford inevitably breaks down”.

    It was pure gold.

    I would say to rent one of them for this trip but 800 miles round trip would be a little sketchy in a ford plus you wont be able to fit an atv AND an arcade game.

    If you have a Tractor Supply near you they've got a couple ramp options around $100.

    you want to roll 80 with a top heavy load , rent the trailer and do 65. Keep an eye out for the cops
