Do you think my 100-pound golden retriever would be able to get up in the back seat of a Ford F150 crew cab with this ramp?

Agree with NeeNee. It is only high enough to reach the floor. Plus, it feels more secure to set on a harder surface.

Absolutely. My 98 lb. German Shepherd gets into our SUV as well as into the back of my husbands extended cab GMC Truck with this ramp. It takes a little coaching and guidance at first - she was very hesitant to use it the first few times, but now she sees us put it up, and waits at the bottom - we always hold on to her collar because of the angle, just make sure she doesn't walk over the side. Hope this helps.

If you do order the ramp, remember to do some training on a flat surface with lots of treats. I laid the ramp flat in the living room, and encourage our Shar-Pei to walk on it to get treats. Then I brought the ramp to the yard and set it on a shallow angle to do some training. Let your golden retriever have a good experience on it is the key.

In my opinion, this ramp is too small for your vehicle. I have a Jeep Liberty and my 2 Lab mixes had great difficulty getting up the ramp. The angle is too steep. The ramp is now sitting in my garage collecting dust. You'll need the larger Solvit ramp.

I bought this for my 110# dog. He would not use it. Too steep of incline when you put it up to the back of my SUV. When we tried it going up to our leather sofa it became too wobbly, between the soft sofa and his weight it just wouldn't work. Disappointed that I have to sell it at my garage sale now.

Kelly I don't know how high your cab is, but as for handling the weight, my dog is a 90-lb. lab mix and it supports him beautifully. I had to "ease" him up it the first time - he was a little nervous, but once he went up (treats at the top :)) he took to it and has no problem with using it at all.

We use it in a Toyota Tacoma, it does take up space but you can put stuff on top of it if need be. Should be doable in a full size SUV, could be tricky in a smaller one. Using a ramp is definitely a hassle but in our case a necessity if we want our canine friend to participate.

I just took mine outside to test it on a Chevy Equinox crossover. The door opened wide enough, but just barely. The ramp is not as tall as the seats and there was a gap where my pet would have to jump across, too wide to be able to just step over. My largest pet is a pug, so you may not have that problem. Also something to consider is the way you'll modify the slick carpeting on the ramp. Mine has indoor/outdoor carpeting and I can no longer fold it.

I think it will work fine as long as you "fasten" it somehow. When I use mine in the car, the one end is "stuck" to the seat and the ramp does not move. So something should keep the ramp in place when the dog walks on it. Hope your dog will do fine. I love that ramp for my dog.

I have a Ford Expedition (about the same height) and it works well. I place it on the running board at a slight angle to compensate for the fact that the rear door doesn't open a full 90 degrees and it's just a small step for the dog to the vehicle floor from the ramp. If you don't have running boards and the door on the F150 doesn't open a full 90 degrees you might have a problem as the ramp is pretty wide. (If this is the case you might want to measure the opening between the door jamb and the seat at the floor.)

In my opinion, it would be a good fit. It is 19 inches across with good traction going up the ramp. It is a sturdy construction. Best wishes to you & your pet.

We use ours to get our 2 Golden Retrievers (70 lbs. each) into the back of our car, you should not have a problem, but if the incline is more than 30 degrees, a big heavy dog can lose traction, but your dog is only 1/2 the weight of ours.

It is possible. The ramp slides around but that could depend on your make. I have a highlander and it is not very secure. If you have a tiny dog it won't matter. If you have the mid to large dog that ramp is absolute crap. Get the little portable stair instead of this. Worthless product.

Definitely. My Rottweiler is still a puppy and she is at 65lbs. We only put it on a 4...we will put it on a 5 if we are in a "traffic" area because she is so fixated on chasing cars. ONE time I had to do a 6 to keep her from running after a FedEx truck (she really hates those delivery trucks) and I felt awful because she let out a yelp! I've not put it that high since. If your 100lb dog has a very high pain tolerance, you can always turn it up (it goes to a level 8). Be prepared to replace the batteries pretty regularly. There is a HUGE pack they sell on Amazon :)

If the pickup truck has a tailgate - I don't think the step will work. Unless the trailer hitch stuck way out from the back, when the tailgate is open, it would block the dog from jumping up into the truck. If you want it for you to step on to climb up over the tailgate - that could work.

I use this ramp with a Lab that is around 85 lbs. and it is no problem. It's pretty sturdy.

Hello Sherry, I have a Queensland Heeler that I place in my Cad Escalade. I taught him how to walk up the Tri fold Pet Ramp, It took a few times for him to get used to it, but its the best thing to happen to my back...no heavy lifting and the Ramp is easy to fold up...and take it to you destination and return...Sherry, you have two smart big canines that can be taught to do anything. The Pet ramp will be a breeze...just a little patience, that's all! Enjoy the Ramp! JWS

I also drive a Forester, and hold a full size dog crate in the rear. (Labrador Retriever). The ramp fits neatly and snugly without a giggle to the left of our crate. The ramp folds in half and I am able to lift it easily. It may weigh approx. 15-20 lbs. (I am guessing) You grip the ramp from the inside. No handle to get in the way. The top of the inside gap has hand guides for carrying .Hope this helps.

As long as you have the standard hitch I would think so. My dog (Mastiff) weighs about 170 and he uses it with no problem.

The ramp seems sturdy. I got it for my ten pound Chihuahua mix, but I also have a 60 pound dog, and I would have no qualms about her using it. That being said, the parts snap into place (as opposed to lock or screw) so I could see it collapsing if overstrained. But again, it feels/seems very sturdy.

I originally bought it to help my golden get into my bed, however I discovered that it was great with my suv. He had surgery and couldn't jump up anymore, and this solved the car problem. So- absolutely!

We use this for that purpose with a Catahoula, granted she is only 60lbs. It might be a bit tight of a fit for a large golden retriever, but I think it would still work pretty well. I had to drill a hole in the front to put a bolt with a loop to secure our dog with a leash.
