ABSTRACT:
The invention is a ramp removably mounted to at least one sidewall of a cargo bed of a vehicle. The ramp can be removed to create a support bridge between the cargo bed and the ground. The cargo bed of the preferred embodiment has four sidewalls, and the ramp is mounted to one sidewall of the cargo bed, preferably by a hinge and locking mechanism. One of the sidewalls of the cargo bed is a tailgate having a groove for accepting a lip on the end of the ramp, while the opposite end of the ramp rests upon the ground. Then a motorcycle, ATV, tractor or other wheeled vehicle can be loaded or unloaded easily, and the ramps are readily available and securely stored.
