This sounds good on paper but I question it's practicality. The biggest problem I see is that the ramp is going to be short if it's incorporated into the tailgate. Then you add the rather tall tires on the toyota and you have a very steep angle on the ramp to push/carry heavy objects up. No thank you.
Even if you are driving an atv up the ramp you will have to give it a fair amount of gas to get it up the steep angle and then you will have to slam on the brakes to stop in a very small area. I doubt if the front wheels of the atv would touch the bed until the wheelwells. Then the question arises if the ramp(s) are even wide enough for an atv.
The ramp would have to be atleast 72" long to be practical and safe. They would also have to be super grippy and way overbuilt.
