Heininger Hitchmate 4040 Black TireStep, 1 Pack

The product doesn't fail to perform flawlessly even on a Ford F250 with 20" tires. It seems like a 20" tire (my tire size is 275x65xR20) is about the maximum extension this device can handle. The step-by-step approach usually works for me The ladder that I had used to do work above my waist didn't fit my needs, so I tried this instead. It is never too early to panic when you find yourself on the streets Here's the - When you are on the road, or after a day at the beach, and you don't have a ladder with you, this unit meets your needs. It features lightweight, sturdy construction with the ability to fold into a compact size. I store it in its carrying case on the floor of the back seat where it is out of the The fit and finish are excellent, the gloss black powdercoat is flawless, and the vinyl is of excellent quality Fits nicely inside the nylon mesh bag, and it holds the items securely. Here are a few things that I noticed and handled, and you might think about doing them as well. Because of its black color, it seems to blend in with the rest of the lower truck, and some of the lower unit would have been visible if I looked closely I would need to replace the tire if I forgot it was attached to the tire. So I added some acrylic-backed reflective safety tape to the tire (Lowe's and H. It was then adhered to all surfaces including the front and back faces, as well as around the step (see pictures 1) and 2) Preventing one injury will reduce my chances of getting another An investment of $3 would be well worth it in the event of a bone accident. Second, because the 20 inch tire has a fairly wide rim, I have to stand on the step despite the fact that the back half of the step will be in contact with my wheel (see image These cost about $5 each.

I needed a way to climb into the bed of my truck with our fifth wheel hooked up. Normally I would be able to sneak into the truck bed between the fifth wheel and the truck, but I am old and unable to crawl like I used to, which is why I purchased a Taking this step forward is a good idea. 240 pounds is my weight, so I am a big guy. It holds me without problems, no matter how much weight I put on it. In spite of my weight, it doesn't hit my rim at all. It's sturdy, adjusts in both step height and tire width, and it doesn't hit my rim at all. *The bag is zip up. It comes with a travel pouch. When we received our purchase, our bag was sliced across the middle (8") of the bag. As an alternative to returning the entire package to Amazon, I decided to contact the vendor (Hitchmate) to inform them of the problem. got a fast response from their customer service representative who asked for our mailing address, and they quickly sent us a new bag. It arrived in one day, and it does the job. Way to go, Customer Service.

If you need a tire step, consider The product is well constructed, adjustable, and the company has provided excellent customer service, as far as I'm concerned.

Ram 3500 dually tires are set to the narrow width, one of the two settings. It does not appear that there is any clearance problem between the The height can be adjusted in 3 ways. The middle setting on the step placed it about three inches above the middle of the tire and allowed me to easily reach the handle on the hitch When the extended hub cap on the 3500 is positioned in the middle setting, the extended hub cap will only clear the step, not the front hub when the cap is positioned In this way, both the front and rear wheels can be accessed using the step. For this step, the storage bag is the perfect fit. The step was sturdy enough for me to use even though I weigh 225 lbs. There is nothing complicated about this product, and it does what it's intended to do perfectly. Ford and Chevrolet duallys should also follow this rule as well, since they use the same factory sizes tires and extended hub caps.

Thanks for sharing this. I was looking for something like this. Using my Subaru Crosstrek, I had to take a step in order to load my tandem kayak onto it. There is an adjustment for both tire width and step height needed on the step. Just make sure not to scratch the plastic trim around the wheel well on a Crosstrek. This width fits perfectly in the wheel well opening on a Crosstrek. Despite its durability, there is not an excessive amount of weight on the step. It is nice that the step comes with a carrying case to keep it when it is Cases are designed so that even though the step is in the uppermost position, it still fits into the case without having to be disassembled. When folded flat, it takes up about 3 inches of space You don't need a lot of space in your trunk for this item, as it's only 4 inches long. With a price of $35, this is an excellent deal. One was like new that I bought from Amazon warehouse deals for about $7 less.

It will help you get higher up on taller cars. You'll need to restore it to the default setting to get it back in the zippered bag, since the adjustable height is a good feature. Two cloth straps are attached to the bag for handles, making it easy for you I mostly use mine to reach the roofs of pickup truck hoods in order to wash and wax them. Although the platform has been punched with patterns, it is uncertain if the patterns are permanent The platform's surface was scruffed up prior to application for better adhesion for better footing when wet. I applied some shake and shoot "rubberized undercoating. " When you're spending some time on one side of the vehicle for a while and all four wheels are on the ground, using the side access can be helpful for underhood work. Whenever the vehicle is on the jack or on jack stands, don't use it Yes, but you already knew it, didn't you? It is advisable to check it frequently if you use it only occasionally or when wet, as corrosion might be beginning at some of the use a wire brush to remove the corrosion and then paint to make it go away. When it comes to metal, it is best to keep corrosion at bay. In the event that the vehicle has high-performance tires Depending on where the padding needs to be added, you might want to make the end wheels padded. To wrap my gifts, I use soft cloth and zip-up a bag Place the tie on the bottom.
