Can you use it on the side door of an SUV or just as a back ramp

We have used both read side doors. Mir would probably work for the front doors even better. It must be wedged in against the open door as it is not a good fit and then a person needs to block the other side. A little clumsy but it will work much better than lifting half a dog into the car.

As long as the top of the ramp has a flat edge it can sit on I don't see any problem and the door opens wide enough for the ramp to extend out.

I've never tried it on the side door of my SUV but I have tried it on my two door pick-up and it is doable but it isn't easy to position. I put the front seat as far forward as it will go and tilt the seat forward. I have to position it at an angle. It does work okay but best as a back ramp.

Would depend on the size of your opening - check dimensions. As far as length, would be perfect! Mine is on a 3 step porch and is weathering the winter pretty well!!

Never got a chance to try it. Our Buddy got sick and we lost him. Wish I could help.

You could but nothing to really anchor it too. It wouldn't be as steep a grade though so it might not need an anchor....depends on how heavy the dog is i guess.

You could use it on the side door of an SUV but you would need quite a bit of room since the ramp is quite long when extended.

Mine works off the back of my pathfinder. It should work off any door. Obviously the higher the vehicle, the more slope the ramp. Off of a car, the slope will be slighter and you will just need to have some sort of place for the top of the ramp to sit when the dog is on it. I personally would not put it on my seat, so the bottom of the door frame should work as long as it is wide enough. I would check the width of the ramp and measure the inside of my door. if there is enough width, it should be fine. Like I said, the slope of the ramp will be less, so you would need more ground room when it is extended. Mine works off the back of my pathfinder. It should work off any door.

I don't really understand your question. Do you want to put the ramp on the seat for your dog to get into the car? If your seat slants the ramp will slant. It needs to be put on a flat surface. Otherwise I guess it would work. I use it in my Ford Escape truck. It is very easy to fold and store.

yes, but it is NOT designed for an SUV - this is furniture grade and as such is sort of heavy. It does fold flat and there is a handle underneath the top step (on that cross beam where the legs are attached) and so it can be moved and carried. There are ramp designed for SUVs that would be better, in my opinion, if you are looking for something only to use for the car, but this would work for the occasional use. Hope that helps.

Don't know about side. I have a full size pick-up and a van. My issue was in getting either vehicle inside the garage far enough that the garage door would close as near as possible to the rear of the vehicles, saving space in the front. Both of them do exactly what I wanted them to do.

I would not use in a car. The lift would have to be adjusted to face a door and that can cause discomfort while riding in the car.

It should work great for that use. This is a really great quality ramp, the best quality I have seen!

We bought the ramp to be used with a 5th wheel trailer. Our dog did great after a few minutes of practice!! You should have no issues.

If you put it in a side door, the ramp would sit at quite a slant, not good. Its really designed for a rear open vehicle like a SUV. I have a jeep 4x4. Our 2 boxers and golden retriever shoot in and out using the ramp safely. The golden weighs 130 pounds and its still secure.

I've only used it in the SUV, I don't know how you'd attach it on house steps. I'm sure where there's a will there's a way.

The hutch has a wood door on the right side that is long enough to be a ramp. I personally have never used it as such, due to the hutch being on my back deck and not that secure.

I would say yes but please have 2 people to hold it in place one on each end of the ramp. I always hold it in place w/ my foot when I use it for my RV.

As long as your window isn't really curved at the edges, I think it would work fine. I got it to use on a minivan window. I actually never installed it on the minivan because we ended up getting a 15 passenger van instead. But I took it out and held it up on the minivan window and I saw no reason why it wouldn't work. I was going to use it on there. They suggest you place it on the edge of your windshield, but if it curves a lot, they tell you to make sure you place it over before the curve starts. I can't see how if it's installed on the upper corner that it would in anyway obstruct view. Also an alternate mounting position suggested is the center of the back window. They give you tips about what type of window in the back is OK to attach it to. But I see no reason at all why you couldn't make this work on an SUV.

I never tried it from the side and I have a KIA Sportage. Based on the other answers, I think your best bet is to use the ramp at the tail gate.

It depends. It certainly will hold when the dog walks on it, but my dog wouldn't go up the ramp at all. I just couldn't get him to use the thing. Its probably a bit too steep of an incline. You might want to check out the extra wide pet steps. I bought some of those on here and he uses those to get into my SUV just fine.

Yes.. I got this and was concerned about this too... It is very portable... It folds and fit behind any door.. Or truck... I recommend..

With a small dog it should be able to lay atop the step to the side of the doorway. I use it for the back door of my truck and it helps give my aging shepherd height.
