experience. Loading and unloading can also be a major safety concern, ramps can slip and uneven ground can lead to a disaster. Sure there are plenty of safe ways to go about the loading process, most ramps now have safety leads that hold the ramp from moving. We just wondered if there might be a better way? Carrying ramps means you need a place to store them and they will need to be set-up and put away. What if there was a better way? What if all you had to do was put down your tail gate? That would make the loading/unloading process easy but how could anyone�s tail gate reach to the ground? That would be convenient but how
would that be possible? Simple, use the Buddy Ramp! Yes, the buddy ramp is a folding tailgate that replaces the stock gate of your pickup truck. This gate/ramp gives the ability to load and unload with safety and ease of use. Replacing the original truck tailgate with the Buddy Ramp enables the ramp to be attached firmly to the truck, which means the ramp can not separate from the truck. The Buddy Ramp is very easy to use, this gate is a tri-folding gate that is unlatched as easy as the original gate but now has the ability fold out and down supplying a safe loading platform. That�s great but that�s not all, the tri-folding gate also give the ability to extend the bed 33 inches when lowered and with the back section in the locked position. That means it may be possible for two smaller machines to be transported in one pickup 
bed. The new tail gate worked really well, we liked the ability to load and unload anywhere with out a hassle. Other advantages included easy instillation, no tools required, due to the mesh design, the buddy ramp let air pass through the gate for better fuel mileage. The biggest advantage was safety, the gate/ramp was sturdy and strong! We give the unit a thumbs up, below is a press release that Buddy Ramp distributes.
