I also have a landscaper-type trailer for my Mk V. It goes on backwards and with the nose off the ramp folds up just fine. I designed and installed a linkage to allow the ramp to be folded to horizontal. Here's what I posted on the blog when I did it:
"On Sunday I put a linkage I designed on the trailer that allows me to pivot the tailgate/ramp up so it's parallel to the air flow instead of nearly perpedicular. Then I tested it with the scan tool on the highway. With the ramp level the engine load was reduced from 15% to 13-14% at 60 mph and from 22% to 17-18% at 70. That's 6.5-13% reduction at 60 and 18-23% saving at 70. Better yet, on level ground the PCM doesn't put the engine into enrichening mode with the ramp flat, so the mixture stays at 14.7:1 instead of 12.2:1. I should save some gas on the long tows. I'll post photos when I take some."
