how does the ramp stay steady and not slip on back of vehicle?

at the top or front of the ramp there is a lip that is flat and when you put it next to thefloor of the car or truck, it acts like an anchor for the top, plus the bottom of the ramp has a rubberized base to help keep it from slipping. You do have to make sure there is enough room to extend the ramp all the way open and perpendicular to the car to prevent slipping. I love this ramp, My elderly pyreenes uses it to get up into my chevy truck...

it has "live" rubber onn the top, which makes it basically very difficult to slip off. i've never had a problem with it.

One end of the ramp has a bend in it. You place this end into the cargo area of your van or SUV. We have never had this ramp slip from our SUV's.

It's not designed to do that, no. It's a freestanding unit when opened and has rigid bases for the 2 large compartments that are removable. I've used it in my 2014 Crosstrek nearly every day since I got it and I have NEVER had it fall over or slide around. The bottom hugs the all-weather-liner in the cargo area. Perfect for hauling groceries or anything else you you don't want rolling around the back of the car. :)

The bumper does provide grip on the sides to hold unto or to put it between things to remain still. The back doesn't do much in terms of grip/slip-resistance.

The bottom of the unit has strips of hook velcro to keep it from sliding around. It sticks very well to the trunk carpet in my 1998 pontiac grand prix.

I have not had any problem with it slipping. My dog is about 65 pounds. The end is a little curved and rests on the lip of the SUV. I don't know if this helps.

The ramp locks in place while in the up position. It is very stable while in the down position. You will need tie downs for the scooter to remain on the ramp while driving. Hope this helps.

Quite simple. There are tethers in the front that tighten or loosen the anchors. And once tightened it stays in place.

It's pretty much friction. Once you clamp the bikes down on the top tube tightly they don't move or sway. I have two of these. One tilts to allow access to the trunk. Even then bikes stay put and don't move. Bungee cords are needed for the front, they will move. I also bungee the wheels so they don't spin.

I have had the ramp for several months and use it with a Jeep back and front and a car seat. It works well even when you can't get the entire ramp in place.

None, works great. It is not adjustable front to back, it is fixed location as by design of the car's mounting holes. But, I've already hauled things so large they were over the front and rear bumpers, no problems.

hello. not a problem at all the ramp works great my mother in law loves her scooter holder. and has no problem using it, she's short and uses this product on a big winebego and has no problem loading and unloading by herself. Very easy product to use and assemble's in mins.

Back is rough. Slippage depends on your surface. I have never found slipping a problem.

This has straps that will tie off behind it. I tied them to the seat belt receptacles and while it still slides, it doesn't slide more than a few inches.

The unit has a strap that can attach to the latch mechanism on the back of the vehicle. With our smaller dog there isn't much need to secure it though. The top of the ramp has a little bit of a lip to it.

I had to buy the scooter straps separately. Its no hassel at all getting the scooter on and off the ramp. But it can be a headache in the rain or after it rains. Surface of the ramp becomes slippery.

attaches to the back axle so it does not have the leverage to pull you over

When the base is full it is fairly heavy and requires you to use your body to push. You have to push and kind of lift for it to roll on the wheels. We do move it but not something I would do regularly. the weight makes it very stable though remember you don't want it crashing on one of your cars when there is wind. It has been rock solid and has lasted in the SOCAL sun with no issues for about 6 months now.
