Expert Answers about Car Ramps


  • Best Aluminum Ramps For Loading Cars Or ATVs Into Trailer
  • Prices can change at times so it is possible that the Aluminum Car Hauler Ramp Set - 72" x 14-1/2" - 6,000 lbs # 288-07503 has a price tag that differs from when you last saw it. There is also the 48" version that is more affordable as you can see on this link: Aluminum Car Hauler Ramp Set - 48" x 14-1/2" - 6,000 lbs # 288-07501. Perhaps this is the one you were originally looking at. I attached a demonstration video for you to check out.

  • Can the Race Ramps Wheel Cribs be Painted or Powder Coated
  • The Race Ramps Adjustable Height Wheel Cribs part # RR-WC-12-2 that you referenced could be painted to your liking but the heat from the powder coating process would ruin them so I cannot recommend this. If you were to split each wheel crib and put one of the cribs under each of your wheels then the vehicle would look the same from each side in regards to distance from the ground.

  • Tow Dolly for 2019 Hyundai Ioniq
  • According to the owner's manual I looked up online of a 2019 Hyundai Ioniq, when towing the vehicle, it should be in neutral, but that is for emergency towing. All of our information on towing comes from owner's manuals and there was no definitive word on recreational towing so to be certain this won't harm your Ioniq I strongly recommend contacting Hyundai. If it is allowed, you will want to use a tow dolly from Demco: - Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly # DM9713045 - Demco Kar Kaddy X Tow...

  • Trailer For Mobility Scooter Hauled by 2011 Toyota Camry
  • You are correct that your 2011 Toyota Camry will have a hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver such as the Class II Draw-Tite # 36416, as that is the only size hitch made for this car. Since you are looking to pull a small trailer with this car you will need wiring, the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118482, to power your trailer lights. This hitch also requires Drawbar for 1-1/4" Hitch # 36071 and 1-7/8" Hitch Ball # 19256. The reason you want that size hitch ball is because the best option we...

  • Can a 2017 Chevy Cruze With Manual Transmission be Towed on a Tow Dolly
  • I used a search engine to look up the owners manual of your 2017 Chevy Cruze and it stated that your vehicle can be towed on a dolly. For this I highly recommend the Demco Kar Kaddy X Tow Dolly with Disc Brakes - Tilt Bed Frame # # DM9713093 or Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly with Disc Brakes - Foldable # DM9713045 because of how much easier they are to use than other dollies. The Kar Kaddy X tilts down and the Kar Kaddy SS has a ramp so you can simply drive up the dolly and secure your car...

  • Can 2019 Chevy Malibu be Flat Towed
  • I checked the online version of the owner's manual for a 2019 Chevy Malibu, and you are correct that it was updated. The owner's manual states that the vehicle cannot be towed with all four wheels on the ground. However, it does state that a tow dolly can be used, so long as the front wheels are on the dolly. For a tow dolly that will allow you to tow your 2019 Chevy Malibu I recommend an option from Demco: - Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly # DM9713045 - Demco Kar Kaddy X Tow Dolly # DM9713093 These...

  • How to Tow 2018 Nissan Rogue With Front Wheel Drive Behind Motorhome
  • I took a look at the owner's manual for a 2018 Nissan Rogue and it stated that this vehicle cannot be flat towed, and can only use a tow dolly if you have a front wheel drive version. For this, the manual states to "Place the ignition switch in the OFF position ... Never secure the steering wheel by placing the ignition switch in the LOCK position. This may damage the steering lock mechanism." For a tow dolly I highly recommend the Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly with Disc Brakes - Foldable...

  • Is Light Kit Needed For 2015 Chrysler 200 When Using Tow Dolly

  • Best Way to Determine Axle Weight Rating
  • The way I recommend assessing your axle capacity is by measuring the diameter of the axle tube. I recommend using digital caliper to do this and you can use the following to find out what the typical capacities of an axle are per their diameter: - 1,000-lb - 2,000-lb Axles: 1-1/2 inch - 1-3/4 inch diameter - 3,500-lb Axles: 2-3/8 inch diameter - 6,000-lb - 7,200-lb Axles: 3 inch diameter - 8,000-lb Axles: 3-1/2 inch diameter - 9,000-lb Axles: 4 inch diameter - 10,000-lb Or more axles:...

  • Can 2011 Ford Edge be Towed With a Tow Dolly
  • According to the owner's manual I looked up online for a 2011 Ford Edge, front-wheel drive version can be towed using a tow dolly, but an all-wheel drive version cannot. The reason given in the manual for why it cannot was that doing so would damage the AWD system. To flat tow your Edge, I highly recommend the Demco Kar Kaddy X Tow Dolly with Disc Brakes - Tilt Bed Frame # DM9713093 or Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly with Disc Brakes - Foldable # DM9713045 because of how much easier they are to...

  • Can Small Boat Trailer Be Towed By 2002 Ford Explorer Sport Trac Using Bumper Mounted Trailer Ball
  • That's a great question. Your Explorer Sport Trac is equipped with a towing bumper, with a 3500 lb capacity. If the rear bumper height is such that it's pretty close to the height of your trailer's coupler when it's jacked up and level, then by all means get you a trailer ball with the proper diameter shank to fit the hole in the bumper (likely 1 inch) and ball size (likely 1-7/8) and tow that boat and trailer. If the hole diameter is 1 inch, you can use # 19260 for a 1-7/8 inch ball or...
