Thats what I did when I got my bike. Also you could find a place that you could ride the bike up to and then back the truck up to and just ride in. Find a place that has a loading dock or something that is near the hit of the truck bed.

i also have a toyota...i bought one of those metal ramps and instead of dropping another 100 bones on an extra one i went to home depot and bought a 2 by 12 7 footer and thats what i used to walk up. You can also put some grip tape on it. Also find a spot in the pavement that is low..you put your rear tires in the spot that drops the tail down some more inches..making it easier for you.
