Bed Step I’m using

[Ken in Miami]

I just put knee on tailgate and pivot up onto it and getting down is the opposite.

It hurt just reading that!

You can also see him compensating on the way down to make sure that that handled doesn’t move as much as it did on the way up. I clocked that right away. I also don’t like the way it appears to stick over into the bed. AND, it’s definitely 3-D printed.

Interesting idea. Not for me.

It has some flex to it but it’s definitely strong enough! I can put all my weight on it with no issues lol

13” height as a one step option but it is looking like a two step option will be better.

Try doing that when you’re 4. There are also rather sharp corners on either side of the tailgate.

Sometimes, I just don’t want to sit and scoot. Also, out here in the desert sitting on something that’s been in the sun for a while might be quite unpleasant.

I’m using this one. Love the aesthetics light small sturdy:

I initially had one of these tall boys:

ACSTEP Folding Step Stool 17.5... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C1FVWWS6?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Which I really liked but somehow it got cracked I didn’t notice and coming down one day I felt it give thank goodness it didn’t completely fail but that was when I stopped trusting the plastic varieties for this application. I have a two step version for my travel trailer.

Decision made. I ordered that two step thin one you got. It looks like it is very thin and I can bungee it to my Tesla cargo rack.
Much better for truck storage!
Thanks.

While I would certainly love a step (and my knees would thank me), I don't think I'm ready mentally to accept that I need to pull out a stool every time I need to get in the bed lol.

I like that two step one also. Thanks dalton

Does the one you’re using (two step version) fit in the smugglers den?

Was looking at various steps that might work for my 7 and 4 year old too. What do you all think of this?

I have one of these and it works great.

I’ve never tried, that’s where I keep my Starlink and other things but I will check it out for you.

Update:

It’s just a touch too wide to go flat but if you don’t have the dividers in (like I do) it can easily go in at a slight angle. Hope this helps.

I keep this one in the hidden storage bin:

I almost ordered that one
My need for a step is different than most as I am trying to avoid going into the bed of the truck. I was looking for a step stool that folded flat and could give me 15” height so from the side of the bed in entry mode, I could open and access my fridge I installed in bed of truck.

I posted this in a different thread but man this looks like the best possible solution. Can’t get here soon enough. https://www.littlegiantladders.com/products/jumbo-step
