Loading Ramps

I'm thinking about buying a set of loading ramps for my '17 F250. I thought I'd throw it out there for y'all to give some input. I don't know how long they should be to safely access the high rear end of the '17 super duty.

I'd be running a lawn tractor up on them, and maybe a hand truck to move appliances and other items.

There's a lot of them on amazon, ebay, etc. but I just don't know what to do.

I seem to think the following would be sufficient, I like the pit posse.....

Amazon Amazon

or

The longer the better, the truck is tall.
The higher the weight capacity the better, depends on what your loading.
Consider a tri fold which allows steps down the middle for say pushing, pulling something up the ramps, prevents the ramps from pushing apart on the tailgate or the ground.
Consider tying the ramps, with tie straps to the hitch for example, to hold them down to the tailgate and consider that you don't want them to push up the tailgate, such as when loading a snowmobile or lawn tractor,
I would go with the longer one, and I like that those fold in half so fit in the truck box, without overhang on a short box. I have yet to see a tri fold ramp that also folds down the middle with a decent weight capacity.
