Simplifies access to truck bed
By D. Matheny
My father-in-law drives a Silverado and he is in and out of the bed all the time since he keeps a wheel chair back there for his wife. His knees aren't what they used to be, so this tends to be a major pain.

Anyway, last week we put a HitchMate TruckStep on his receiver and he's been using it ever since. The install only took a few minutes and was easy to do. The step itself folds up when not in use and extends about 2 feet when needed. This is one of those simple ideas that really works.

After a week of use, he says he couldn't live without it - so I guess that means he likes it!

*** UPDATE 10/20/2010 ***

I just thought I'd add that my father-in-law still mentions this step pretty much every time I see him. It's getting LOTS of use and is still holding up and working great!

Gotta Truck or SUV? You'll Love it
By John N. Schear
At first blush I thought I had a ringer but was I surprised and happy with my new HitchMate. The clincher was a buddy has one on his pick up and it works wonderfully and far better than I could have dreamed. On it went and with ease I add joyfully. In the background was a little urchin suggesting that I would mess up the installation, as usual; however, the Tool Guy was looking over my good shoulder and it went on without a (this is awful) hitch. Please forgive me for that. How does it work, you asked? Well, just downright perfectly. There was little funny about watching a big old chunk trying to load a bunch of bags of mulch or stuff in the back while trying to reach farther than the body could handle and getting up was not an option thanks to defective knees. The HitchMate provided the perfect tool for the tasks and boy did I hear it from the knees. Those knobby devils were clapping and slapping their cartiledges as if they could do some happy talk. When done it was a simple slid to store the step in its receiver and on we go to the next task. I do not use it a lot; however, I use it far more than I would have expected and therefore making it a fantastic addition to the tool bag.

Love it!
By Orin
I love this step! Was a bit concerned after reading a few reviews that stated the step was plastic. However, I was pleased to find that the step was only "covered" with a plastic tread cover over a metal bent plate that appears to be quite sturdy. I've had several comments from others that have seen it - all positive and envious.
