A ramp system for use with a vehicle is provided. The vehicle may include a truck with a truck bed or other types of vehicles. The ramp system includes a ramp structure held within a ramp support structure. The ramp support structure is configured with the vehicle and the ramp structure is able to transition from a retracted position within the ramp support structure (while not in use) to a deployed position outside the ramp support structure (while in use). In the deployed position, the ramp structure is held in an angled configuration extending from the back of the truck bed to the ground. In this way, the ramp structure may be deployed to enable heavy items to be loaded into the truck bed and stowed away when not in use. The ramp structure also may include legs configured to hold the ramp structure in a substantially horizontal position when deployed for use as a table or other type of platform.
