A swiveling drop ladder configured for mounting to a vehicle tailgate includes a ladder and a swiveling plate. The ladder and the swiveling plate are coupled together via a hinge assembly. The swiveling plate, when mounted on a vehicle tailgate, is configured to provide for a rotation of the ladder from a stowed position upon the vehicle tailgate to a deployed position. The ladder extends off the back of the vehicle tailgate when in the deployed position. The hinge assembly is configured to provide for a rotation of the ladder when in the deployed position, such that the ladder extending off the vehicle tailgate angles down to touch the ground.
