Need recomendation on a Pet Ramp

Anyone using a pet ramp with their X5?
My oldest dog can't jump into the X and is too heavy to lift in & out.
I'm considering one from the Foster & Smith catolog.

That's a good price. PetSmart may match the price if you take the ad in.

the ramp in the pic looks exactly like the ramp i have. for me, it was a complete waste to buy it, b/c the gate on the X is so high, it makes the ramp too steep for your dog to walk up. my girl is only 4, and will not walk up it. mind you, i have never tried putting a food trail up it - not even sure that would work. see if you can get a pet store to demo one for you w/your X. i purchased the ramp thinking i had found the solution to getting my gal in (think i mentioned it in a previous post), but when i acually tried it...no way.
rooby, my dog, is about 95lbs.

ps. notice how low the gate on the truck in your pic is compared to the X. look how steep the ramp is in the picture, and then imagine raising the end to the hight of the gate on the X (at least 6" higher, right?).

a longer ramp is what we need.

(i know it says *telescope* ramp...it doesn't extend long enough)

if anyone else has had luck with a ramp, i'd love to know the brand!!

Thanks for the info.
Doesn't sound like the ramp I posted will work. I'll keep searching.
