We wanted this just to make it easier to climb in the back of the truck and to be able reach the windshield when washing— for convenience. As for washing, my husband still can’t reach the windshield on his F-350. And, since it must be stored somewhere, it’s not very convenient to have to retrieve it every time you want to climb in the bed. By the time you retrieve this handy little step, you could already have been in the back of the truck and back out again. But, if you are physically unable to climb in or have a smaller truck, then this is may be just what you are looking for. Seems well made, so we have no complaints about the quality.

I love this thing, but I do have one complaint. It makes my trailer weave all over the road and it tends to fly off if I get to going over 35 MPH. Other than that I am very happy with my purchase!

I was very impressed by the design and materials of this tire-stepper. Unfortunately, the manufacturer does not tell you that it will not fit onto tires where the vehicle’s wheel well design leaves little room around the tire. This means that my Honda Odyssey minivan and compact SUV Subaru Forester did not come close in allowing this stepper to fit. Yes, I could return it easily thanks to Amazon’s fine customer policies, but I wish the manufacturer was much clearer in its representations about the specific vehicles their product would fit.

I’m pleased with this purchase. It is a nice compact way to easily access items stored on the roof rack of my Mariner Hybrid. I’m starting to get a little old to try and balance on the door frame while removing skis from the rack. I didn’t expect a carrying case, unfortunately it doesn’t fit unless the step is as low as it goes and while not difficult to adjust, it did require a wrench and a few minutes. Not something I want to mess with when arriving at my destination – thus minus 1 star.

I purchased this item for a Xmas gift for my grandson and he loves it for his truck that sits high up, well worth the money, Marianne Frauenknecht
