What keeps the supporting edge of this ramp from slipping from the tailgate and fall while someone is loading the bed?

The second that is against the tailgate is tapered and rubber coated. It is also self adjusting so you should not have any problems. You could also attach a stap to the tailgate if you still were concerned. I have never had any problem using this unit both using wheel barrel and my power washer. I use my truck bed as a work platform for oil changes and lawn mow ever cleaner. The Lund ramp works great!

The ramp has a non-slip area that lies on the truck bed, and there is a adjustable strap from the ramp to the truck trailer ball or bumper.

They sit very secure, but also have straps that "S" hooks that connect the bumper.

It comes with adjustable strapping that you hook to the bumper to secure the ramp position. Also, the metal plates at the top of each ramp section have rubber on their lower surface, and they pivot to grip a larger area.

when a person takes the tailgate off of a truck he has to slide it over to one side and lift it out. the lock prevents a person from sliding the tailgate over to one side so it can't be lifted out.

There are edges to prevent this, it's a ledge type thing. However it does snap off for cleaning and one of mine figured out they could pry it off. I just put it back on and never leave it off. It should definitely slow down her digging though. It did mine.

There is a little tab on the side that fits under a tab on the purple main block. It holds the ramp down so it lines up and cars don't stick.

The ramp is not to hard to move. It doesn't weigh enough to keep from moving.

It is a telescoping ramp that is completely adjustable, lengthwise. I would try a rubber stopper like what you use to protect floors from furniture to keep it from sliding. That is only a guess because I only use it in my van.

I would be afraid to use it in that manner as it could slip and spell disaster. If you do want to use it like that, I'd drill holes in the truck to attach the ramp with bolts. Better than having someone crash down 2 feet.

You could add some pins to the bar that attaches over the tailgate with a release system that hides behind the tailgate. Its really only beneficial if you have a locking tailgate. If they want in that truck bed... doesn't matter if you have a soft or a hard top... they are going to get in.

at the top or front of the ramp there is a lip that is flat and when you put it next to thefloor of the car or truck, it acts like an anchor for the top, plus the bottom of the ramp has a rubberized base to help keep it from slipping. You do have to make sure there is enough room to extend the ramp all the way open and perpendicular to the car to prevent slipping. I love this ramp, My elderly pyreenes uses it to get up into my chevy truck...

Gravel wouldn't work well because you can't slide off it onto gravel. The ramp is not high at all-only about a foot off the ground

There is a aluminum bar that engages into clips in the siderails and sits at the top edge of your tailgate. You can disengage the bar from the clips and roll it towards the front of the bed, (wrapping the tonneau around it as you do so). You end up with a bar wrapped up with tonneau that you can keep rolled up by wrapping strap (s) around it straps are attached to the framework that comes with the tonneau cover

It is permanently mounted to the front of the bed. Normally you keep it covering the bed. When you want to roll it up, you start from the tailgate and simply roll it like a newspaper from the back to the front. There is a little strap in the front that you wrap around it to secure it right at the truck bed / cab intersection. The whole process takes about 30 seconds. To cover the bed again, you simply undo the strap, and unroll it. A piece clicks at the tailgate and you run down both sides to secure the Velcro. The securing the end takes a few minutes to figure it out, but once you do it only takes about 30 seconds every subsequent time. It is a very easy process.

Put some weight (such as a cinder block) on the bottom step to lower the center of gravity. That will stabilize it enough to do the job.

No, there is a leg in the middle of the bed that would prevent a trundle from sliding underneath

It goes under the tailgate between the bumper. You will have enough to hold it on.

It hugs the truck tightly, even the tailgate. So as long as it's closed, there shouldn't be any problems. It clips along the outside and inside around the entire bed and the tension provided from the straps leave no gaps.

There's a lip or seam of material around the bottom edge that grips the carpeting. I'm not sure how much it would slip on a smooth surface like a truck body (most likely a lot).
