Looking to the collective for help on this one. I need a dog ramp, or steps, that will fit the rear doors of a Jeep Gladiator. The rear door opening is pretty narrow and I'm not having any luck in my search for a compatible device. I'm hoping someone here has already solved the problem and can tell me what brand worked for them!

I'm not sure how much room the rear doors of a Jeep Gladiator give you but the below folding 5 step works with the rear door on my F-150 Crew Cab.

That may be too wide but this may work..

This what I bought back in 2020:

3 lb. Dog ? Or 39 lb. Dog?

Little more, 100 pounds of awesome.

A 2x12 with stair tape attached. hooks to catch a running board or the door sill.
Long enough to fit the width of the truck inside.

back in the last century I needed something similar... went to a local motorcycle dealer they sold me ONE heavy duty plastic one. Solid and collapsible. Don't remember the #, but worth a shot.

looked exactly like this:

Chug purchased a hatchback s.u.v. for hauling his dog around.
He couldn't find a ramp that fit the back seat of his jeep.

Now the dog grows in through the hatch of the Subaru.
And the ramp slides in so long the side wall.

When my last dog (RIP) was getting too old to jump up onto the tailgate, I built my own. A couple of 2x4s, some scrap plywood, and some 1X2s. Worked for him.

I suggest evaluating the dog willingness to use a ramp first. My very athletic lab and my very gregarious golden were stymied by a ramp. Even wide and carpeted. Not willing to use the ramp even with treats strewn along it.

This. Dogs are already familiar with navigating steps however ramps take some training before they'll be successful.

I purchased this Four Step Folding Stairs for use with my 2017 RAM 1500 and my Golden took right to it. It fits well in the opening of my passenger side door.

My GSD had that problem when she got older. I got a ramp for her to get into the truck but she was confused by it. I'd be patting the ramp and saying "C'mon, up you go!" She was like "Yeah I'd love to, but that thing is in the way!"

So I laid it out flat on the ground and walked her across the length of it a couple of times. It was like the light bulb came on over her head. "Oh hey, I can walk on this!" After that she trotted right on up the thing, no problem.

What ever happened to a length of 2x8 with 2x2 or lath strips screwed across? Maybe fancy it up with some carpet samples or old rubber mat.

I bought this off of amazon.

My old dog could not get in by himself anymore.
