The Rhino Max ramps are only pennies more on Amazon.

I've had a set of Rhino's for many, many years. No issues. Amazon shows +15k 4.5 star reviews.
I went and looked at the Amazon reviews, some of the negatives definitely from people misusing - looked like one person drove off the end and another was trying to use with an F550. But also a number of pics of the newer ones snapping where they're segmented. Mine are the old one piece style, maybe the newer design does have a flaw? If in doubt $20 of 2x6's will safely solve the problem

I have an old set of Rhinos that I got used. Worked well for a long time. My only issue with them is the rubber has worn down so much that they slide now. I looked into new Rhinos and the new style with the hex in the middle seem to crack in that area. I picked up a set of plastic Harbor Freight ramps instead that look really nicely built- lots of reinforcement underneath and lots of rubber. Going to try those.

I guess there was a design change somewhere along the way. The sets I have look like this.

Mine are exactly like that. I've never really had problems with them. I had one vehicle (a Minivan) do a wheel spin on the way up, which slightly melted the plastic, but that's cosmetic and hasn't affected the performance.

The only downside is that spiders love to build webs in the back. So I check for black widows first.

In our old single car garage I had these upright behind the tracks on one side. One summer I kept having a yellow jacket issue on that corner of the house. One day I happened to notice that the ramps were humming. Found one of the largest nests I've ever seen inside the webbings, they were stacked bottom to bottom, so plenty of room.

I have the old grey Rhino Ramps like Grimpala, and use them for my Subaru Legacy, Toyota 4runner and Dodge Challenger, and they hold those cars up no problem. I will not drive my 1-ton Ram Megacab on them. My only complaint with them is they tend to slide on smooth concrete floors when trying to roll the front wheels up on a rear wheel drive car.
