Abstract: Disclosed is a telescoping ramp, comprising a frame, a plurality of extendable ramp members and a magnetic base for securing to a tailgate structure. The ramp members comprise a plurality of aligned, telescoping members that form an extendable ramp, wherein the members form into one another and are extendable by separation of a first ramp end from an opposing second ramp end, the members being connected therebetween. The first ramp end connects to upstanding portions of the frame and within a slotted channel. The channel allows the first ramp end to be moved horizontally and vertically within the frame to position the condensed ramp within the frame interior, while also allowing the extended ramp to clear the frame and facilitate a smooth transition between the ramp and the frame when loading objects thereacross. The ramp members are box structures that condense into one another and include progressively tapering cross sections.
