I have a Toyota Tacoma P/U, and I'm looking for a ramp to load the bike in the back- any recommendations/suggestions??

Get a ReadyRamp from CordBauer.  They fold up nicely and can attach to your truck bed to allow for extending the bed.

I used to resell em for him but I think LP sells em now too.

Yeah, these are the way to go.  I have a regular non-folding ramp, and it's a pain in the ass to keep around.  I only use when I load a bike in the back of my truck, but it still sucks.  Takes up too much room and it doesn't even fit in my trucks 6' bed.

If your doing this by your self,  get one wide enough you can ride the bike up and put your feet down !!  The ones that are 12 inches wide you cant do this, and i slipped putting the bike up my self and almost had a 400 pound bike land on me. !!  I fell and ended up under the tail gate !!

Thanks for the tips everyone- I ended up getting the ReadyRamp...unfortunately being as I'm extremely vertically challenged- I can't even touch the ground when I'm on the bike (barely) on a completely flat surface-so riding the bike up the ramp into the truck isn't that appealing to me..I will most likely get a second ramp to walk next to the bike- or depend on the kindness of others to help load and unload  :'(

If you are getting 2 ramps, get some aluminum ramp ends from the local hardware store that mount on teh end of 2X10's and buy 2 2X10-8' you can cut them down a bit if you need to.
