[QUOTE=This is more akin to what I'm thinking currently... which is why I was asking about the ramps themselves. I can probably fabricate something or just get folding motorcycle ramps; it's a matter of how long they are and how badly I want to carry them around. :-)[/QUOTE]

Trigger is an X2 with cargo plates. As a result, if you have limited in-vehicle space, one could strap the ramps across the cargo plates. I've done that a couple of times when my in-vehicle storage limited. Also the plate's handles make it relatively easy to offload Trigger.

More thoughts on the ramps. I use four (4) foot ramps as my Expedition sits high, perhaps a bit higher than your Enclave. You should, therefore, evaluate your height needs as you may be able to use two (2) or three (3) foot long ramps in your application. As another option, you can probably also find a hitch that drops down a couple of inches or so which will also reduce your need for longer ramps. As another Glider here stated, be careful it doesn't ride so low as to bottom out. Finally, the rate of incline from ground to basket increases the difficulty of loading Trigger. This is mostly because Trigger is an X2 and has wider tires which sometimes catch the ramps side. Obviously an i2 would be less susceptible to this risk.

Glide On!!!!
