Aluminum Ramps For Car Hauler Trailer Closest to 5' Long x 13" Wide
Updated 02/17/2026 | Published 06/21/2024
Question:
Have a 16 14 w/2dovetail car hauler trailer. OEM ramps are 5 L, 13 W. Getting too old to keep dragging these 75 lb ramps around! What is the recommend aluminum ramp replacement? The underneath ramp carriers on the trailer now are only 14 wide so I see the aluminum ramps would not fit, but thats ok.

Hey Steve,
The aluminum loading ramps we have that are closest to the 5' long x 13" wide measurements you mentioned are the Gen-Y Hitch Aluminum Loading Ramp Set # 325-GH-R72.
This set is 6' long x 14" wide so have the right width for your ramp carriers and are just a foot longer than your current set. These weigh 31 lbs per ramp so they're less than half the weight of what you have now, so will be quite a bit easier to handle.
