    5 Stars
    A great product you will use often when climbing up/down/in/out of your truck
    I use this on a Ford F250 with 20” tires and it performs flawlessly. I would say that a 20" tire (my tire size is 275x65xR20) is about the maximum extension you can expect to use this device on. I usually use a step-ladder to do work above my waist, but decided to give this a try. You never know when you will find yourself out on-the-road, or perhaps camping, and without your ladder, and this unit fits the bill perfectly. Lightweight, sturdy, and folds into a compact size, I keep it packed in its carrying case on the back seat floor where it is not in anyones way. Excellent fit and finish, flawless gloss black powdercoat, and the vinyl-lined nylon mesh bag fits well, and holds it nicely.A couple of items that I noticed and handled, and you may want to think about doing. This unit is black, and as such it kinda blends in with the rest of the lower truck, and I could see a ‘shin-replacement’ surgery in my future if I forgot it was attached to the tire. So I added some adhesive-backed reflective safety tape (Lowes/H.D), and stuck it to the front and back facing surfaces, and around the step (see pictures 1 and 2). If I prevent one shin-bone accident, it would be worth the $3 investment.Second item is that the 20 inch tire is pretty wide rim, and the back bottom of the step will contact my rims when I stand on the step (picture 3). So I covered the back with some strip felt (picture 4), and attached a felt ‘button’ right at the bottom, to prevent any rim damage (see picture 5 & 6). Cost about $5.

    Reviewed in Canada on September 28, 2023
    Good design, but barely fits my 35x12.50. But it does fit and holds my weight. there's not a lot of metal between the spring loaded button and the end of the square tubing(pictured), I see this as a failure point if you're using this setting but could be modified (bolted and or welded). But I really bought this to mount my Diesel heater and for that this works no problem. I had to drill a few holes throught the step plate and it's some pretty solid steel. The foldable design is also awesome, makes it quick, compact and easy to transport. I'd say it's reasonably priced and worth it.
