Abstract

A tailgate ramp system comprising a pair of ramp members and an anchor bar which is removably attachable to the latch bolts or to the latch mechanisms on the tailgate of a pickup truck. The anchor bar of the present invention comprises a C-shaped, angle-iron structure having a stem member and two arm members pointing at right angle from the stem member, one at each extremity of the stem member. There is also provided an anchor rod affixed to the stem member for retaining the upper ends of the ramp members extending downward from the tailgate. In a first variant of the anchor bar, each arm member has an opening therein which corresponds in shape and location relative to the length of the stem to a configuration and spacing of one of the latch bolts on the tailgate relative to a width of the tailgate. In a second variant of the anchor bar, each arm member has a pin mounted thereon for engagement with pin-latching mechanisms of modern tailgates having such closures. These pins correspond in shape and location relative to the length of the stem member to a configuration and spacing of the pin-latching mechanisms relative to a width of the tailgate. The tailgate ramp system of the present invention including an anchor bar of a first or a second variant is thereby mountable on conventional tailgates having latch bolts or on newer tailgates having pin-latching mechanisms.
