Bed Ramps

I would like to drive my golf cart into the back of MY17 8' box.

I like the idea of keeping the ramps stowed in the bed. And the mounting should eliminate any straps.

Does anyone have experience or thoughts on the ramps?

Depending upon the weight of the cart.... ATV ramps may be what would work for you. I know they come rated for various weight configurations.

He is asking about the factory offered ramps. I think they are a great idea but not sure on anything about them.

The F150 guys have had them for a while. I'd search reviews from 150 owners. I'm thinking they are a nice option personally.

Any ramp should be arched and the longest you can get. The worst point is the transition from ramp to tailgate and straight ramps have a sharp angle at that point which is easy to high center your cart, atv or lawn mower. Worst feeling in the world is to start having loading problems at the highest point and have a ramp shift under you because the frame got hung up. Video truck review in another thread shows a set of the ramps briefly. I bought mine at C Tractor for my 1050 lb utv and they work very well, surprisingly well since the price was substantially lower than almost any other source.
