The Folding Tailgate Ramp System (FTRS) is a rotating, retractable Tailgate Ramp which makes accessing an elevated bed of a vehicle, by smaller wheeled objects a possibility. The TRS has a wide base in the Ramp Casing, and a wide rotating and collapsible body in the Tailgate Ramp, and together they bridge the gap between the surface and the elevated Tailgate or bed of a vehicle. The TRS is a true collapsible ramp that is almost as wide as a Tailgate but is compact, can be electrically powered, and have sturdy interlocking joints which close flat. The FTRS is comprised of a Four Planked, Tailgate Ramp and a Three Planked, Tailgate Ramp. The Four Planked, Tailgate Ramp has four Planks and is designed to accommodate taller vehicles such as pickup, while the Three Planked, Tailgate Ramp, has three Planks and is designed to accommodate lower vehicles such as minivans.
