- How does the Cruiser Ramp system install into my pickup bed?
The pickup loader is installed by adding four rivet nuts into the pickup bed. All of the needed components are provided with the system. These are very low profile inserts and will not hinder the use of the pickup bed with the cruiser ramp system removed.
