Jumping down out of a boot puts the dog's full weight through its front legs, and for an older or long-backed dog that is exactly the thing to avoid. A ramp turns it into a walk.
Ridges along the surface give grip so they do not scrabble, which is what makes a nervous dog refuse a ramp the second time.

Styling notes
Introduce it flat on the ground with treats before you ever angle it against a car — a dog that has a bad first experience on a ramp will avoid it for months. Keep the slope as shallow as the space allows. It works just as well up onto a bed or couch for a dog that is no longer jumping confidently.
