A tailgate ramp for a vehicle includes a frame having an internal space and apparatus for pivotally mounting the frame on the vehicle. Ramp pivot apparatus mounted to the frame and adapted for pivotal movement within the internal space of the frame between a stowed position substantially parallel with the width of the frame and an in-use position substantially parallel with the length of the frame is fixedly attached to at least one ramp member. The at least one ramp member has at least two telescoping members having extended and retracted configurations such that the at least one ramp member is dimensioned to be completely disposed within the internal space in the frame when the at least two telescoping members are in the retracted configuration. An elongate member oriented within the internal space of the frame and along the length of the frame is co-axially aligned with, and securable to, the ramp pivot apparatus when the ramp pivot apparatus is in the in-use position. Horizontal sliding apparatus is slidably connected to the ramp pivot apparatus and fixedly attached to one of the telescoping members of the at least one ramp member for permitting movement of the at least one ramp member along the length of the frame in the in-use position.
