No tools needed, just slides right into receiver. I am a hefty man at 260 and supports me easily. I like the way it slides and locks into place and stores inside itself to be out of the way. (only sticks out 2 inches)

the hitch mate truck step is as tough as it gets. hitchmate beats the mounted push downs. there may be a litte extra effort because it has to be puuled out. but it holds 200lbs more. it straight up is a rugged step.

Having a six inch lift and 35 inch tires, this product is a necessity for getting into truck bed! And the fact that it extends so its still useful when the tailgate is down makes it even better!!! What a great idea! What a great product! Highly recommended!!!

Easy to install and operate. Design allows for slide (extension) to clear the under hanging spare tire. The step is rugged and and looks clean on truck. Stepping up to tailgate is a breeze.

Hitchmate works beautifully. Needs one more instruction on how to return step to the vertical position. Took me a few seconds but I figured it out. Just pull toward you and swing vertical.

This is a pretty neat gizmo. I had to modifie by drilling 1 hole on my own. I did not need to, but I wanted a more flush installation. It might have fit on its own if I did not have a sleevein my receiver. My truck came with a 2 sleeve system for adaption to the 2 standard size hitch's.
