Questions & Answers

We would mainly use this for hooking and unhooking fifth wheels, but is the tailgate ladder essential for climbing into the bed of the truck?

It is very easy to use and has proven very useful when I used it to hook and unhook my fifth wheel camper for the first time. So you don't have to step on tire and then lay down against the truck bed in hopes that you won't In my book, I rate this item ten out of ten

The old pick-up we use to haul things is still in good condition. There is a 92 Ford pick-up in the picture. I'm not sure if the tire size will fit. Can you tell me?

The adapter should be fine to use on most trucks, but for sure it will work

Do you know if this technique will work for a 2019 Ram 3500 king cab?

There is no difference in the size of the truck, since the tires fit. Our Porsche Cayenne, which has a tight wheel well and a 19inch tire, fit the rim perfectly, so I imagine it would fit your truck too. With its adjustable height and an easy to use design, it is very convenient to use

Selected User Reviews For Heininger 4260 Black HitchMate Tire Step

The roof storage on the Xterra is perfect for this item
5/5

The soft rooftop luggage carrier I recently bought for my Nissan Xterra 2012 would be helpful if I had this step on hand. I found it extremely helpful for attaching the carrier straps to the rails as well as hauling heavy bags and boxes up. It is important to never underestimate the value The step fits perfectly inside the rooftop storage behind the fairing and, more importantly for the Xterra owners out there, it is light and easily adjustable. Even though I'm very tempted to leave it in there all the time, I'm unsure if it will be able to withstand being left on a daily basis. I wonder if it will be okay if it stays dry inside the trash bag.

The design is good
4/5

A package that is open should be handled with care. I pull my fifth wheel RV with my Ford F350. I like the combination, but it is impossible to latch the RV hitch from the ground since it is in the middle of the truck bed. As I travel, I have been carrying a step ladder, but it takes up a lot of room. That's why I was attracted to the Heininger HitchMate. My truck's rear tire easily hooks over it, and a step is provided for me so that I can reach the hitch controls. It works pretty well, I can tell now that it arrived safely. The HitchMate folds into a compact size so I can store it when not in use. This is the kind of thing I like to buy. I bought an open box for a bit of a discount, but everything else is great. There were only one of the nuts needed for its assembly but they were all missing somewhere along the way. The easiest thing to do would be to go to the hardware store, but it took time and, in the end, I did not save much if any money on an item I bought "used/like new. ". Buying an open box item from Amazon can be risky, but I learned a lesson when I bought the device.

I'm so impressed! I like it a lot
5/5

The reason I waited so long is beyond me. I can reach for my gooseneck latch easily thanks to its lightweight design. In addition to getting anything out of the truck bed, you can even step into the truck bed if necessary. You have it right there whenever you need it. When I used to keep my trailer, I kept a small stepladder nearby. The only way I could benefit from that was if I were Fortunately, this fix fixes the problem.

The level of safety has greatly improved
5/5

In order to unlock and release my fifth wheel hitch, I use this tool in the bed of my truck. The safety of this device has been significantly improved. My close calls with falling without such a device have occurred too many times because of slipping on the tire or the tire rim.

This is a well-built product
5/5

I should have made this purchase earlier. It took one last time for me to slip off the foot stool in order I can easily mount the step on both my vehicles The tires on one of these cars are 15 inches and those on the other are 16 inches. This is a very sturdy and stable structure. Thank you for sending one to me finally.

Using larger trucks, you can reach those places that are hard to reach
5/5

This hitch is ideal for attaching my 5th wheel to my dually, even though I am a 350 pound man. It slides over the tire with no problem. Additionally, it is great to remove dirt from under the hood of the truck.

Does what it says on the box
5/5

I gave this to my husband and he loved it. The oil in my truck and to hook up my RV were done by me.

My 2019 Ram 2500 Limited would be perfect with this step
5/5

There is no need to worry about this step fitting over 20" truck tires as it is very well made. There's no doubt that this step is awesome because it has an extra weight limit!.
