It was easy to install, but I wish it had an extention to make it closer to the ground. But it's better than nothing.

It was an easy install. I did substitute the same size hardware with stainless steel hardware from the orange big box store. I didn't realize this prior to installing, but you can install the handle on either side of the step. This step saved me from buying a new Raptor with the integrated tailgate step. Ha.

This is a nice sturdy step but mounted way too high on my tailgate. I don't have a lift kit or oversized tires. My truck is an HD 2500 Dodge RAM 4x4 but it is stock. The single step still would require me to have an additional step for the wife and me to get onto the tailgate using this Truck Buddy. I am not about to drill mounting holes in my new truck for a step that doesn't suit our needs.How about adding another lower step to this for those of us with taller trucks?I like the design and think it would work but for almost 300 bucks I want something that doesn't require me to still carry another step. I am returning the Truck Buddy unused.

Although the item came in a bit scratched up (the packaging was such that the stability handle had some wear on it from shipping because it had broken through the cardboard packaging), it was otherwise undamaged and the ease of install was such that I had no difficulty installing it with one hand. I had a rotator cuff surgery and literally had one hand tied (not behind my back, but certainly tied).

Awesome product! Super simple to install and works really well!! My hunting dog is getting older and can’t get up into the truck as easily as he used to. He actually fell a couple months ago and hit his head when he was trying to get in. So, I immediately went out and spent the extra money to get this for him. Worth every penny! He’s safe and much more comfortable getting in and out of the truck!

I put this on the F250 today. replaced the hardware with stainless.Referring to the picture at Point A I took the cable and moved it to between the frame and the bottom stabilizing angel. I also reversed the hardware here to make the bolt stick out toward the outside of the frame instead of inside where I will be stepping up and down. The bolts here were so tight that the cable connectionswould not move freely. At point B this rubs against the inside of the stabilizing angle. It was that way before I changed the bolts around and I could not get it to straighten up. At point C I used stainless self drilling sheet metal screws. I used ten which is how many came with the step. There are more holes to use and I will fill them up when I get some more screws. probably not necessary but it will look better. Of course it is much easier for me to climb into the bed now. My 71 year old 215 lb body doesn't have to strain near as much and there is no slipping and sliding to get in/out of the truck bed. I like the item and would have given it 5 stars if the frame were lined up better.But that's not a deal killer for me.Update 4/10/2019 I've had this item for almost four years. I couldn't get in and out of my F-250 safely without it. I weigh 265 lbs and have no problem climbing in and out of my truck bed with it. It's a well made rugged product and I highly recommend it.

I'm a road-trip lovin' grandma who happens to have a prosthetic leg, which makes crawling up into the bed of my pickup almost an impossibility. My son installed this truck step on my tailgate and now I can get up in there to load or empty it, and the dogs are using it a little to get up into their crates in the back. It's light, but strong, and the step is nice and wide. There's even a handle to hold onto, which fits right between the dog crates. I ordered it in the late afternoon, and it was delivered in less than 48 hours (I picked 2-day shipping) all the way out on the ranch in Colorado. Good product and fast service!

i bought this product hoping that it would make it easier to get into the bed of my truck. it works great.installation only took me @ 20 minutes. the unit is sturdy and made of lightweight aluminum. it has rubber coated steel cables. it sits flat against the tailgate - the handrail doesn't fold down but doesn't obstruct closing of the tailgate. it stows away quickly and is secured with a small bungee cable.the only downside - 1/2 point drop - is that you need to get a piece of rubber or some kind of sound deadening material to stick in between the folded sections to keep a very slight rattling down.one more thing to add - i replaced the steel screws, nuts, bolts and washers with stainless steel ones to keep from rusting.i give the truck - n - buddy 4.5 stars. excellent product i highly recommend
