I picked up a Revarc sled ramp this year, and haven't used it a whole lot, but I thought I would put down my impressions of it so far. I have to say, as far as tri-fold ramps go, this thing is absolutely amazing. It's fairly long, and is curved, so the ramp angle is actually reduced, which is really nice. The added traction ramp is probably the best feature by far. I load my sled on a variety of surfaces, and this allows me to load the sled without having to take a run at it, which is always a little sketchy in icy parking lots. You can load the sled at a very slow controlled speed and never have to worry about spinning out, or launching your sled into the back window of your truck. It also comes with a built in ratchet strap to secure it to your truck, when in use. In the below picture, you can see how close you can load your sled from. This also helps with prevents carbide lines all over your driveway or garage, and you just roll it up to the ramp on dollies, give a little pull to get the skis on, and up you go.
The only con I have with this ramp is that it is a little cumbersome to put on your tailgate when you have a mountain sled on your truck. There is a lip on that you need to get underneath the track, which requires lifting the track. A little difficult with one person. Removing the ramp is easy enough, as you just lift the back of the sled and kick it out, but putting it in is quite a bit tougher, and is a lot easier with another person. This ramp runs just over $400, so it's more expensive than other tri-fold ramps, but I think it is totally worth the extra money for what you are getting. All in all a very worthwhile product.
