A quick connect/disconnect ladder assembly includes a mounting plate attached to a vehicle's tailgate of a truck bed, a pivot plate mounted thereto to which is attached a ladder on which to ascend to gain convenient access to the bed of the pickup truck. When the tailgate is opened, the ladder can be pivoted away from the vehicle bed to a substantially perpendicular position with respect to its original orientation against the tailgate of the truck. The ladder is then pivoted downwards such that the lower end of the rails or legs contact the ground surface. The ladder is further pivotable counterclockwise to its stowed position on the tailgate to disconnect the ladder and pivot plate from the mounting plate.
