  I have had exactly the same experience.  My wife's Subaru Forester (AWD) 
goes right up the Rhino Ramps with no problems, but my 2WD GMC PU tries to 
push them out of the way.   If I get them perfectly aligned and take my 
time I can usually get the truck up, but it's a PITA.  I had a pair of 
steel ramps years ago that were such a problem in that respect that I threw 
them away.  If I continue to have problems with the truck, I'll probably 
drill a couple of holes in the garage floor for anchors and bolt something 
(angle iron, 2x2?) to give the ramps something to anchor against.
