An extendable truck bed ramp is housed adjacent the bed of the truck and tailgate when the tailgate is lowered and open. The ramp deploys using a track system inside the bed of the truck and the tailgate respectively. The ramp contains side rails for easy access with items such as hand trucks, ATVs (All Terrain Vehicles), and other wheeled items. The method for joining a truck bed with a loading surface includes attaching at least two parallel tracks to a floor of a truck bed and to a floor side of a tailgate to form continuous tracks based on a foldout of the tailgate, permanently embedding into the at least two parallel tracks each, at least two complementary sliders and moving the truck ramp with folding side rails into a joining position between the truck bed and the loading surface via the at least four sliders attached there beneath.
