Just picked up a second hand Summit 800. Stoked! I have a beat up trailer that is a pain in the ass. What’s the easiest/cheapest way to get it in and out of the bed of my Taco?

Best ramp I've seen it think is called a rev arc? It's curved, long and has a section that folds out flat onto the ground for traction.

He didn't say safest or best.......but I agree with your statement.
Buddy of mine last year didn't want to put superglides on his ramp or remove his carbides for steel runners....carbide+aluminum= trying to eat you tail gate as ramp pushes it shut. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

OK, maybe I should have phrased it “what is the best way without spending a ton of money?”
Any other recommendations for a ramp?
Is pinning it in reverse a safe idea? Does it fuck up your sled and/or truck?

nahh. you'll be fine. if you're worried just stand beside the sled instead of on it (holding the tether of course).
but it doesn't help you load it again. Just ollie it in. ;-)

Maggot snowmobile thread
Are the wheelwells in the bed of the newer tacomas sufficiently spaced to fit the ski width of a sled? My 03 needed a raised deck to fit the sled. A couple of 2X8 supporting a 3/4” plywood deck does the trick, if a bit ghetto. Makes finding a proper snowbank a little more problematic, but ya, a 3-piece ramp from crappy tire, and a trip to the wrecker to find a truck long-box bed liner to serve as sled rails works fine. Superglides are so much better as you can walk up them though.

Cheap ramp will suck to use and likely fuck up your tailgate. If I was loading straight into a truck I’d get this ramp w/ the tailgate protector add on. You can get away with less but sketchy loading/unloading blows. https://www.discountramps.com/revarc...iABEgLSkfD_BwE

Make sure you do something to protect the tailgate. Tacoma tailgates can’t support the weight of a sled driving on and off, you will bend it in the middle. So some sort of extended platform is required.

This thing’s supposed to take the weight off the gate. https://www.discountramps.com/revarc...REVSLED-RISER/
Curious to hear if a Doo fits in the back of a Tacoma. It’s gotta be close.

Yeah that thing works in full sized trucks. I saw my buddy with one today. Likes it. But it wouldn’t be enough for a Taco. Toyota tailgates are flimsy. I bend my Tundra’s twice and tacomas are worse.
Everyone around here with tacos builds a basic wood deck. Or even just a 4x8 sheet of ply. I bolted some angle aluminum to the lip of my tailgate too.

Relative to the video, you can mitigate a whole lot of those fails by ratchet-strapping the ramp to the hitch so it can't move backwards when power is applied.
I've got one that's fancy enough to have a built-in strap for such use (I wanted one that would work for sleds, bikes, and miscellany, so I went fancy), but you still have to actually use the strap for it to help. I do sometimes, I don't other times. YMMV.

The sled ollie is spectacular! Just learn that one and we can forget about a ramp!
Took me a couple times watching that video to figure out how they are doing it

Unfortunately it looks like it is a hair narrow on my 3rd gen Taco also. I will be building said deck.

yeah I'll post back here if I find a good product.
If you want to build the same it's super easy & cheap. Just some plywood & 2x4s & hinges. The superglides are just bonus.
The little track section is nice for traction - NoLimits has pieces for like $10 or something.
Total of only 2beers time to build. check it out if you see me in one of the parking lots.

Should fit with just a sheet of plywood then, maybe a flat 2x4. Wheel wells slope a bit so just getting the skis up a bit gains some clearance.

My stock ‘12 rev xp is 42” ski edge to edge, narrow setting. 4X8 3/4 ply, with notches for the rear gate fit just perfect, can’t measure at the moment, but I think the wheelwells are 36”. 2X8 just the right height to allow the plywood to get 5” or so each side supported on the wells. Sled is 10ft long.
