    I am looking for suggestions for ramps for the tundra to get a snowblower in the bed. Any fellow snow folk have a preference please share. Thanks!

    well i used this on my 4runner just recently to have my ariens snow blower serviced. i am old fart so not really feasible for me to push a heavy snowblower up ramps into the bed of a tundra. this is on home depot, but i imagine you could find a comparable item somewhere else. its apex 500lbs carrier. ramp locks up or folded on itself.

    i also use the cheap tri-fold harbor freight ones. they're great for the snow blower and using a dolly for appliances, etc, but they're not long enough for something with 4 wheels. it's too steep of an angle for a riding mower, etc.

    Do you have a ditch close, sometimes you can back up to a hill or down in a ditch and with the tailgate down it can get within a few inches of the ground.

    His point is well made. I have an Ariens, and it is HEAVY. While I have ramps from Harbor Freight, as I have gotten older, I do not think I could pull or push the blower up the ramps without help (around 267 Pounds)
    My recommendation would be to get the shortest ramps with the a “small angle” that work. nodak67 had a good recommendation.

    Use a ratchet strap across front of bed and a come a long, pulley block or other ratchet straps if you need to. Don't hurt yourself, back injuries are horrific.

    This.

    I have a truck,
    I have a snowblower,
    I have ramps.

    If I had to move the snowblower with any regularity, I'd have a hitch mounted carrier.
