An access ladder for access to a pickup truck bed. The access ladder includes a base having a pair of spaced apart J shaped brackets, with the proximal end having an open jaw sized and shaped so that it can be releasably secured to the pickup truck bed. The J shaped brackets are spaced apart by spacers, and optionally, a step plate. A protective mat may be provided to protect the surface of the pickup truck bed against scratching or abrasion. A handle may be provided for assisting users with balance as they ingress or egress from a pickup truck bed. A plurality of steps are affixed to the J shaped brackets. The steps are provided at fixed intervals along a pair of flexible support members, which in an embodiment, may be ropes. Support stops are used to set spacing of steps along the flexible support members. Bumpers may be provided at each step to further protect the outer surface of the pickup truck.

The truck bed ladder is configured for use with a pickup truck. The pickup truck is further defined with a bed. The truck bed ladder comprises a collapsible ladder and a bed box. The collapsible ladder is stored in the bed box. The bed box mount underneath the bed of the pickup truck such that the superior surface of the bed box is accessible from the bed. The bed box is accessed through the bed of the pickup truck. The collapsible ladder is a structure used by an individual to change elevation. The collapsible ladder is a collapsible structure. The collapsible ladder collapses into a rectangular block structure that is contained in the bed box. The collapsible ladder deploys into a linear structure used by an individual to change elevation.

A modular side rail and removable step system for a vehicle is disclosed. In one aspect, the kit includes first, second, and third removable steps that may be mounted to the side rail. In one aspect, the side rail main body has a channel-shape defining a longitudinal opening between an adjacent first side and an adjacent second side. A plurality of step attachment arrangements may be provided on the first side of the side rail main body to allow the first, second, and third steps to be mounted to the side rail main body in various configurations. For example the plurality of step attachment arrangements may be arranged and configured to provide attachment locations for mounting the first and third removable steps in a first step assembly configuration and for mounting the second removable step in a second step assembly configuration.
