Described is a loading ramp for loading a small vehicle into the bed of a truck, for being carried by the truck, and for optimizing storage space provided by the truck. The loading ramp is adapted to be mounted to a truck and is capable of an up position and a down position. When at the down position, the loading ramp defines a gradient between a ground surface and the bed of the truck. The gradient supports a small vehicle, such as an ATV, to the extent that the small vehicle is loaded into the bed of the truck by traversing the gradient. When at the up position, the loading ramp is carried by the truck such that the loading ramp does not limit the storage space provided by the truck and, in particular embodiments, makes available storage space provided by the truck that would otherwise be occupied.
