Traxion Tailgate Ladder is easy to install on pretty much any truck. This part will not work with Dodge RamBox, Chevrolet Avalanche and Cadilac Escalade Trucks. We do not support installation on the vehicles. It provides a nearly universal fit, deploys in a couple of seconds and greatly reduces the strain of getting into the back of a truck. When not in use the tailgate ladder folds and secures neatly against the tailgate out of the way of valuable cargo space. Heavy-duty construction ensures durability. From automotive tools that make the mechanic more safe and productive to truck accessories that improve accessibility, Traxion engineered products will continue to support the needs of their customers. Note-only half of the holes in the mounting plate will be used. Based on model of truck or tailgate the screw hole locations will vary. Optimum screw locations are the front and back sides of mounting plate instead of the interior holes. Drill six holes in optimal locations using 0.14 inch drill

Très bonne idée pour monter a l'arrière quand on prend de l'âge et on est moins souple donc pratique et correct en prix

Works as it should. Easy installation. I had one on another truck so that helped my decision to buy this one . Truck is higher up and I’m a senior so this makes life easier. Good price too

Getting into the pickup bed gets harder every year. I put this on my F150, and I think it will be a big help. Easy installation, and it seems sturdy and folds away into a stable location.

Vehicle: 2012 Ford F-150I read many of the reviews here, and will concur. The hardware is the lacking part. Only kept six pieces (two clevis pins, two sheet metal screws, and two washers.I took advice of someone suggesting to nutsert the plate to the tailgate. Since I had a rivnut inserting kit from harbor freight, I went big and used 6 1/4x20 nutserts for the outer edges of the plate.First, I put the plate in position, and used two woodworking clamps over the top edge, to hold it against the tailgate. This enabled me to close and open the tailgate and make fine adjustments of the mounting position. Once satisfied, I drilled the outer six holes with a 3/16ths drill bit. I removed the plate and drilled the appropriate holes so that my nutserts would press fit into place, before using the tool. These MUST be identical in diameter to the OD of the nutsert. One by one, I applied a thin band of silicone to the base of each and pressed them into their holes, followed by squashing them like rivets into their permanent locations.Once that was done, I made ONE (a record for me) trip to Lowe's to get four 1/4-20 x 3/4" screws and two 1/4-20 x 1" screws. Two of the holes fell between ribs, so they were lower than the others. I also purchased a bag of 1/4" ID nylon washers, and a bag of 1/4" ID spacers (to fill gaps where void between ribs fell) found in the sorter drawers. Lastly, I replaced the four metric bolts and nylock nuts for 4 1/4-20 x 1 1/2" bolts and nylock nuts out of stainless - also found in the sorter drawers, not on a peg.Upon my return, I mounted the plate with the six phillips screws. Using the clevis pins, I passed the pin through the hinge piece, carefully slid one nylon washer between the hinge piece and the mounting bracket, passed through the mounting bracket, through the hinge piece and retained with the spring retainer clip. I attached the short hinge pieces with the rubber bumpers facing down when inside the tailgate (to prevent rattle).Using the same technique, I passed one 1/4-20 x 1 1/2" bolt through the other end of the hinge piece, nylon washer, and either the offset upper ladder rail or straight, and pushed through to a nylock nut, and secured using my 7/16" wrenches. I repeated for the other one.In case you are wondering, the nylon washer affords a bit of lubrication to the pivot, so one may tighten the bolts more snug, without losing the ability to fold the ladder. It reduces rattle.Finally, I added the lower section, and on my truck, whilst sitting on concrete pad in my barn, the optimal angle with the hinge pieces horizontal made the ideal hole position in between two others - which are spaced about two inches apart. So on mine, I extended the lower ladder until the top hole was exposed, put a bolt through each side to prevent it from moving, and drilled two 1/4" holes into the upper rails at the mounting position. As fortune would have it, after withdrawing the lower section of ladder, the holes fell almost centered between the other two adjustment locations.If the difference was maybe a 1/4" to a 1/2", I likely would not have gone to the trouble.After bolting the two sides, I laid the ladder to the inside of the tailgate. Using the supplied strap, two screws and two washers, I mounted the strap to the inside. I pre-drilled those holes with 1/8" drill bit.Only regret is that there is no stop to the ladder when deployed to lock it into it's downward position. It is a little wobbly, but if one is not in a hurry, it is quite functional.With the care that I took to position it before starting, once strapped in, the tailgate closes without interference.

Installed on the tailgate of my F350 June of '18. Still there, still works.Pro'sCheapEasy to installI'm 290 pounds- yet it still works.Cons- hardware is marginal.The strap that secures it has a buckle which ended up under some load dragged across the tailgate. The buckle is longer pretty but still works. Consider replacing the strap with a good bungee or something else that can be removed from the line of fire.There is no handhold. Not a fault of the ladder but a reality to consider.I'm mounting a cap on the truck this weekend. I think that the ladder will become more problematic with the cap window hatch lifted. Time will tell.Regardless the issues with it, my 64 year old body is better off with it than without it and did I mention that it's cheap?Update the first: The cap and the ladder are complimentary. With the rear window up I can swing the ladder out or back in without hitting the glass. The thing is, the ladder hinges are two stage. I have to be mindful to keep the ladder in the first stage of hinge location during ladder swing. Don't worry. It's easy.I bought a couple of small SS rings with base plates and screwed them into the tailgate in the recess area that keeps them below the the tailgate deck when dragging plywood etc over the gate. The provided ratchet strap lite securing device provided with the ladder wasn't cutting it in real world since it was screwed in perpendicular to the ladder per directions and so was stuck on the tailgate when the ladder is deployed. It took too much punishment. Now with the rings placed in the recesses I can put a bungee across a rung to hold the ladder and when I need to load materials on the gate, unhook bungee, deploy ladder and the rings are out of harms way.Edit the 26th of January 2021: Well, my ladder survived the Trump presidency. This thing amazingly still works. It's got moving parts and it hangs on the tailgate of a truck I punish and nothing has worked loose or fallen off. I have machines that cost thousands of dollars and stuff falls off them every time I use them. Bang for buck- You Betcha.
