"Cost-wise, the ReadyRamp® bed extender is more expensive than a standard ramp, but as an avid road racer, dirt rider, mountain bike rider and just all-round stuff hauler, I found the dual-purpose ramp and bed extender to be worth every penny."

FASTRACK RIDERS, DECEMBER 2006
"We purchased our first Ready Ramp sometime in 2002. Just about all of our instructors now own a Ready Ramp as well because quite simply 'They work better than any other ramp out there!'

Being in the track day business I see lot's of different construction of ramps and almost all of them too short and many very flimsy. All the new pick up trucks are ..." Read the full testimonial here.

"THE VERDICT--ReadyRamp set the dirt bike market as its target for their newer, more compact ramp, and it has hit the mark with ease. This is a great concept that is also good-looking, sturdy, and very functional not only at the track, but also when hauling loads around town that require a bit of extra space in your pickup's bed..."

"The Ready Ramp is one of those products you can live without, but wonder how you did once you have one." Read the full review here.

DR RATING 10 out of 10
"...With so many off-the-wall ideas, it's nice to discover new products that are truly innovative and useful. The ReadyRamp without a doubt falls into this category..."

RIDER, FEBRUARY 2003
"I gave the ramp a complete test hauling dual-sport bikes back from Utah. We loaded my KLR and a friend's Honda XR650L in the truck, attached the ramp as a bed extender, and filled the bed with our riding gear and soft luggage. After 500 miles of freeway and a scenic detour over some rough desert roads, everything remained in the bed and the ReadyRamp was still held tight by its straps. We unstrapped it, unfolded it, and unloaded the bikes as easy as you please. I give this strong, convenient ramp my, uh, unbending stamp of approval."

"Innovation of the Month"
The growing popularity of short-bed pickups trucks has created a need for so-called "bed extenders". Basically wide, U-shaped gates made from aluminum tubing, these can be places at the end of the tailgate to enable carrying longer items in the bed. But the ReadyRamp takes the concept a step further: It's a ramp that converts to a bed extender when it's hooked up to a nifty included quick-mount system.

Made of 6061 T6 aluminum, two pairs of beefy hinges are riveted into extruded ladder sections, and a pair of vinyl-coated steel arms reach onto the pickup gate edge for loading. We first tried the ReadyRamp to load a new Kawasaki Vulcan 1600 (a 65" wheelbase beast that weighs in at 745 lbs.) into a high 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 --a loading challenge by any standard. Although we worried about the Vulcan's low ground clearance, the ReadyRamp has built in arc (using a 4 degree angle at each hinge) that helps prevent long and low bikes from bottoming. We also noted no flex as we rolled the big Vulcan up the ramp. Once in place, it takes just a minute to position the clever strapping system that locks the ReadyRamp into its bed extender mode.

While some other bed extenders can be flipped 180 degrees back into the bed to keep smaller loads from careening around when the tailgate is closed, the ReadyRamp's extended length is 100" - easing bike loading--but making it too wide for this function. They say they are working on the problem, but, given the alternative--trying to hustle bike bikes up a steeper incline, we felt this was a reasonable trade-off. Finally, we think a cable tether would be a smart addition so that the ramp would be less likely to shift as the bike's rear tire drives up the incline (we used a tie-down for added safety). Most bed extenders cost $200 plus about another $100 for a good ramp, so the ReadyRamp's price, $279 for full-size trucks and $249 for compacts, seems quite fair. We recommend it.

TRANSWORLD RATING 8/10
"... What are the ReadyRamp's downfalls? As mentioned before, girth is a factor, at 35 pounds seems to be a lot for a product like this. In the product's defense, however, is the fact that it is tough enough to load big fat Harley-Davidsons or rice rocket street racers. Though it seems overbuilt for motocross, one must remember that the product was built with all motorcyclists in mind."

ReadyRamp says: We listened to Transworld Motorcross and made two NEW verions of the ReadyRamp, the 600lb rated Compact and 600lb rated Full-Size ReadyRamps--they're PERFECT for motocross!
