My old steel ramps have too much incline to clear the Prius nose in order to drive up on them. I have been wanting some rhino ramps anyway, but I also have a couple of heavier vehicles. I would like to buy the 16000lb. version to kill a few birds with a set of ramps, but need to be certain that the nose of the Prius will clear the ramp while driving on and off of them. Does anyone have experience with the 'bigger' set of rhino ramps? The 16000lb. versions are $44.99 prime on Amazon right now. Thank you, Ron
After more research, it looks like the length, height, and incline (17 degree) are the same as the 12000lb and 8000lb version..The higher rated ones are wider: 8000lb are 10.5". 12000lb are 11.5", and 16000lb are 12.9".
I bought a set when they were on sale last time. I have used them on my now sold 2004 Accord, my 2012 Civic and I check before buying that it would work with the Prius. Here is a trick for something like this. Do a Google image search for "rhino ramps prius": rhino ramps prius - Google Search Which would find you this thread: Rhino Ramps for Oil Change | PriusChat I figured if they worked on a 2nd gen they would work on a 3rd. Another confirmation on a Amaon.com review: Amazon.com: P. Tansill "PeteInPG"'s review of RhinoGear 11909 RhinoRamps Vehicle Ramps (...
I have smaller rhinoi ramps my car scrapes then on the way up, I can put a hump of rocks in front of the ramp and it solves the problem. You could use boards to get the car up more before it goes up the ramps.
