Put the ramp model in, and set its property to no collide.

Insert an object box (the purple thing) and shape it to a wide thin shape. For example 30x30x2. Then tilt and position the object box so it aligns with the ramp part of the ramp model. This will look like a ramp and the truck will be able to drive up the incline.

It can be tricky to get a good aligning fit, but it'll work fine if you just take your time with it.

I must add that doing all of that kind of model and object box positioning has been made way, way, way easier in the new version of Traxx (1.5). You can use the keyboard or the object dialog box to position models, you can see the results in realtime, and the accuracy to which you can adjust everything has been taken to six decimal places!

Anyone who hasn't made the switch to the new Traxx, for use with all of their new projects, is... in the dark. ;)

The new keyboard commands are brilliant, just check out "keyboard summary" in the help menu.
