Location: PA | Hi - I have a 2017 Lakota C27. Its a 2 horse slant with step-up, and its a very high step. I have trouble with horses unloading. They all absolutely dislike the high step down. I am thinking of having a ramp installed by the dealer. I've never heard of a ramp being installed on a step-up. Would this make my trailer hideous and hard to use? Do you think my resale will plummet? I love the trailer in every other way, so I don't want to sell it.
Thanks |

Location: Central Arkansas | We put a ramp on every trailer. Just make sure you get a reputable trailer place to install it. Loading the springs properly is essential for a easy to use ramp. My Merhow has a one finger lift on a full ramp. We love it!
We had a Lakota LQ trailer that a Lakota dealer put a Sundowner ramp on, stating he preffered the Sundowner ramp. It was easy to use. He sold bought makes.

Location: Bend, Oregon | I have a custom half-ramp on my LQ trailer - so it is only on the unloading side, and doesn't block my tack door. Love it! I also had a ramp installed on my cheap two horse slant trailer, and it doesn't look as good as the LQ ramp, but it works well. I won't have a trailer without a ramp.............. |

Everytime Is see these half ramps I think of the old Imperatore Horse Vans rear drop down ramp for hay ...
