I've been present when the second (aluminum) ramps have been crumpled and practically shredded... almost damaging the tires. This was, however, in a mud environment trying to extract a stuck 99 Chevy 4x4. I do not suggest using these at all. The steel ramps would also be questionable, with a 4000+lb vehicle....
