Thank you all for your comments and input. My truck prior to retirement was an F-350. No problem towing anything. I have now downsized to a 2019 Nissan Frontier SV, six cylinder, two wheel drive. My concern lies with the ramp angle and traction.

If you look for a thread of 8.26.19 by fellow member, "seasick", regarding seat slides. Please see my reply. I ended up making my own from "Azek" trim material. I didn't take photos...sorry. Good luck,
