Video Transcript for All About the Wheel Step with Non-Slip Surface

Jeff: Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're going to take a look at this wheel step with the non-slip surface and a 300 pound weight capacity. Now, this wheel step will let you access any hard to reach places in your vehicle's engine, or roof. Zoom in here and you can see that the step itself has a nice galvanized metal cheese grater surface. Gives you incredible grip in even the best and worst conditions. And it is an open design, lets any mud, slush or debris pass through the step, doesn't build up on the step itself.

And as you can see, this demonstration we have on a tire, you can just install it right over the top of your tire and it supports your weight when you step on it, by bracing up against the tire itself.Now, it will fit any tire with a cross width of 13 inches or less. They do have adjustable pins right on here on each end that you can pull the clips, pull the pins out, and this will extend out. Right now, it's roughly about nine inches so it'll extend out even further to fit around a 13 inch maximum width tire. Also gives you a four position height adjustment, if you notice right on here. Same way there's a pin on the side and a pin on that side, if you pull the clip out, pull the pin out, it's got two holes here and then three holes on here.

So you can actually have four different height adjustments for the step itself.Few dimensions on the step, the length of it, one end to the other's right at about 21 and a half inches long. The width of just the step is about seven and a half inches wide. And again, the weight capacity is about 300 pounds. And what's nice about the step, you can see the step will fold up if he need it out of the way, but also when you remove it from your tire, if you notice, when you lift it up, you can let the back fold in and then it'll fold down on the step. So it actually folds into a nice compact size for easy storage.

And then when you go to use it, all you have to do, just open it up, take it, put it up against your tire, drop it over the top, level it, and you're all ready to go simple as that. But that should do it for the review on this wheel step with the non-slip surface and the 300 pound weight capacity..

Very simple, and works great for a variety of different activities around my Ram 2500



by:

as described. great range of adjustability for different vehicles.
sturdy.



by:

Excellent product and gives us great access to the pick-up bed. Wondering why I didn't buy this 10 years ago!



by:

I have a 4WD Suburban and recently purchased a car top carrier. Problem was I couldn't load/unload it without a step ladder, and I didn't want to carry a step ladder around. I ordered the wheel step - problem solved. It works great and folds almost flat for storage. Great product!



by:

This step is awesome. Flat for storage but gives me instant access to top of shell, windshield for cleaning and under hood.



by:

exactly what I wanted to reach into the bed of my RAM 3500 whole hooked up to my 5th wheel trailer. As always, etrailer came through expeditiously.



by:

This is so handy! I once had to get something off my SUV roof and had to find a guardrail to stand on to reach what I wanted. This is so much easier and safer.



by:

Perfect for getting up to the topper rack on my lifted Ram 2500.



by:

Lowest step could be lower. I'm 70 years old and have all the old guy limitations. A lower first step would still give me access to the bed and engine compartment without having to lift my self on one leg to get up.

by:

Super convenient and easy to use. Wish I would have known about it sooner.

  • Rhino Rack Pioneer Platform Rack and Folding Ladder for 2018 Ford Expedition
    There is a way to add a Rhino Rack Platform to your 2018 Ford Expedition but there is not one that attaches directly to your vehicle. If your Expedition has factory installed rails that run front to back you can add a roof rack, the Rhino-Rack Vortex StealthBar # JB0190. From there you can add the Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform # RR42115BF which is a universal mount that will attach to your Expedition's roof rack. I've attached a link to a video review of the universal mount Pioneer for you...

  • Wheel Step That Works With 2017 Ram 3500
    The Powerbuilt Adjustable Tire Step # ALL647596 may be an option as it is a universal mount which is going to fit any tire that is 13" wide or less. It is 21-1/2" long and has a weight capacity of 300 lbs. I also recommend taking a look at the Folding Wheel Step, # PT68ZR which is a universal mount that hangs on your tire and also fits any tire up to 13 inches wide. To determine if you can use these, you need to measure the width of your 28-inch diameter tires. If those don't work,...

  • Lightweight Portable Step for Use with Thule Force Rooftop Cargo Box on Tall SUV
    You are correct that the size and weight of heavy-duty steps like # S-150 and # SASXLA-09C-G make them less than ideal for transport inside a rooftop cargo box like the Thule Force XT # TH6356B. Odds are if you are using a roof box you do not have space in the vehicle to store one of these steps. Handy as they are their best application is as an entry step for folks towing a large trailer such as a 5th wheel that has substantial cargo storage space built-in. But anyone using a rooftop...

  • Compatibility of the HitchMate Tire Step on a 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek
    The HitchMate Tire Step, # HE4040, will fit a tire up to 12-1/2 inch wide tire. This measurement should not be an issue. The width of the step arm my be a issue for 2015 Subaru Crosstrek. The clearance between your tire and wheel well will need to be checked to see if the HitchMate will fit. The tubes on the step measures 22 inches wide. The tubes will have to fit around your tire and clear the wheel of your car for the step to be used on your Subaru. You will need to measure the width...

    Yes, the Thule Pulse Large Rooftop Cargo Box # TH615 will absolutely fit the AeroBlade Edge crossbars on your 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee and be the perfect way for you to securely carry your cargo. I did check with Thule to confirm this fit for you. The Pulse does come with everything you need to mount it to your crossbars and uses a clamping system like in the photo I added to tightly grip your crossbars. If you go to the 0:35 mark of the video I linked of this box being installed on a...

  • Options for Assisted Kayak Loading
    To answer your first question in regards to the Viking Solutions Rack Jack Magnum Hoist with Winch, # 310-VMH001, and "...pulling the supported load ... rather than vertically...". While an 85 lb. load may be successful, it has not been tested for that and is not the intended use. This is designed to support a vertical weight and pulling of the load over the vehicle does not allow the legs to provide support as intended. I do believe you can fabricate a mount to replace the winch with...

  • How Long is the SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box # SR7018 Inside
    I went out to the warehouse and measured the inside of a SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box, item # SR7018, and the longest inside measurement is 60 inches. Your 63 inch skis would fit in the box if you laid them in diagonally but not straight front to back. You may be better off with a longer box. If so, the SportRack Horizon Cargo Box, item # SR7011, has a much longer inside dimension of 82-1/2 inches. Plenty of length for your skis, but not quite an equivelent amount of storage space as the...

  • How to determine if Roof Cargo Box will Fit a 2017 Ford Explorer with OEM Crossbars
    I can help you find a roof cargo carrier for your 2017 Ford Explorer, but you will need to do some measuring on your end to ensure it will fit and that the back hatch of your Explorer can completely open. The Thule Force XT # TH6359B is one of our most popular roof cargo boxes that we have to offer. It is a 22 cu ft box with about 84" of internal length and a weight capacity of 165 lbs (be sure to check the weight capacity of your OEM bars too). This box is compatible with a crossbar...

  • Folding Wheel Step Compatible with 285/50R20 Wheels
    The Rhino-Rack Folding Wheel Step - Tire Mount - 22" Wide x 8" Deep - 250 lbs # RRRWS will not fit on your Lexus LX570 285/50R20 tires/wheels because they are simply too wide. The similar HitchMate TireStep Adjustable Step for SUVs, RVs and Light Trucks - 22" x 10" - 400 lbs # HE4040 or the Powerbuilt Adjustable Tire Step for SUVs, RVs, and Trucks - 300 lbs # ALL647596 is a fit based on your tire size. I've attached videos of each of these to assist.

  • Easier Way to Access Fifth Wheel Hitch on Flatbed Truck
    There is no extension for a fifth wheel hitch handle to let you access it from a distance. The best solution for you would be to use something like the Wheel Step # PT68ZR, assuming your flatbed does not jut out over the tires too significantly. Otherwise, a simple step stool such as # TE97FR is your best option.

  • Fit Of The Thule Force XT XXL Rooftop Cargo Box On 2013 GMC Acadia Factory Roof Rack
    The Thule Force XT XXL # TH6359B will fit most factory crossbars. It does require crossbars to be a maximum of 3-1/2 inches wide and maximum of 1-11/16 inches tall. The crossbar spread from center to center needs to be between 23-5/8 inch center to center and 37-1/2 inches. The clearance of your rear antenna depends on your roof rack itself. The Thule Force XXL will sit about flush with your factory crossbars so if your crossbars are higher than your antenna, you won't have an issue....

  • Will the Thule Motion Cargo Box Fit the Factory Roof Rack on a 2011 Buick Enclave
    Yes, the Thule Motion cargo box, # TH629706, is a fit for the factory crossbars on your 2011 Buick Enclave. I have included a link to a video review of this box being installed on a similar vehicle with a similar roof rack for you. I also recommend using a tire step, # PT68ZR, which will make accessing the box easier. Be sure to check the Enclave owner's manual and/or with Buick for the roof/roof rack weight capacity prior to loading.

  • Roof Top Cargo Carrier Recommendations for 2013 Honda Pilot
    I have a couple options for you regarding a roof-top cargo carrier for your 2013 Honda Pilot and they all allow for the unimpeded opening of your rear hatch. Regarding a basket, I recommend the Thule Canyon # TH859XT. It measures 40 inches wide by 49 inches long by 6 inches tall. It has a maximum weight capacity of 150 lbs. You might also be interested in the Thule Cargo Net # TH692. It secures the items in your MOAB with impact-resistant hooks and is 40 inches by 36 inches unstretched....

  • What Tire Step do You Recommend for My 2019 and 2021 Subaru Outback Wagons?
    As long as you have the standard tire sizes that come with your 2019 and 2021 Subaru Outback Wagons (225/60-18 or 225/65-17), the Hitchmate TireStep # HE4040 will fit your vehicles. When talking quality, the the TireStep is great because the adjustment part that goes around your tire is steel while some other steps come with a strap instead. The TireStep also has the greatest maximum weight capacity we carry for a tire step (400 pounds). If you are looking for a more economical choice...

  • Fit of SportRack Vista XL Roof Mount Cargo Box on 2011 Honda CRV
    The SportRack Vista XL Roof Mounted Cargo Box attaches to the factory crossbars using the supplied U-bolts. The U-bolts will accommodate cross bars up to 3-3/4 inches in diameter. The factory crossbars will also need to be 25-7/8, 27-7/8, or 29-7/8 inches apart. I would not recommend using any other method of attachment than the U-bolts supplied by the manufacturer. You should also consult your owner's manual to determine the weight capacity of the roof rack on your CRV. You might also...

  • Bike Rack Options To Carry 4 Bicycles On My 2005 Volvo XC90
    The most amount of bikes you can carry with a trunk mounted bike rack on your 2005 Volvo XC90 is 3, as this is as much as your vehicle can handle safely. You would have to carry the other bike on the roof of your vehicle if you choose to use a trunk mounted bike rack. The item you selected, Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier, part # TH911XT, is compatible with your vehicle and would be a good option as it features anti-sway cradles.

  • Will the SportRack Roof Cargo Carrier # SR7018 fit on a 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe w/Navigation Antenna
    I went out to the warehouse and checked on the Sport Rack Vista XL Cargo Box, item # SR7018, the length of the box is 63 inches long. The box will mount on cross bars that are between 24 and 34 inches apart. So you will need to do some measuring to determine if your roof mounted antenna can be retained while using the cargo box. Install the first cross bar as far forward on the vehicle roof as possible. Then measure from the center of the cross bar back to the antenna on the vehicle. ...

  • Lock n Roll Tonneau Cover and Adarac Ladder Rack Compatibility For 2 Kayaks On A 2020 Silverado
    The Adarac Pro Series Ladder Rack # A4002965 has the rails sit over the stake pocket area of your 2020 Chevrolet Silverado's Bed Rails. Since the Lock N Roll Tonneau Cover doesn't cover up the stake pockets, it should fit on top of them. The rails will sit a little on top of your tonneau covers rails so it won't be completely flush but it will install. Now you can get two J-Style Kayak Carriers # e98878 so you can carry both of your kayaks. Our carrier is a very cost effective option,...

  • Recommended Trike Rack for a 2019 Lincoln MKC
    I have a great option for you to transport your JC26X tadpole-style recumbent trike, but I do not recommend using the Softride Hang2 2-Bike Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # SR27041. Setting aside the potential issue of ground clearance hitch height with your hitch, the Softride Hang2 requires front handlebars to mount to the clamps at the top. Since we have not fitted a recumbent-style bike on the clamps there is no way to confirm whether the clamps will adequately secure at any point of...

  • Will the Permance Tool Folding Wheel Step Fit 275/70R17 Tire Size
    So the Performance Tool Folding Wheel Step # PT68ZR will easily fit your tire size of 275/70-17 since that's much narrower than the max width of this rack. Your tire is less than 11 inches wide and the # PT68ZR will fit tires up to 13 inches. This does not go all the way over to the other side of the inner tire and basically just rests on the inner shoulder is how it is able to fit the narrower width.

If your vehicle does not have factory cross bars you will need to install them. The Yakima Roof Rack for 2003 Nissan Xterra, item # Y00408, # Y03536, and # Y33TR would complete the roof rack for attachment of either of the above mentioned cargo boxes.

  • Rhino-Rack Roof Rack, Basket, and Cargo Bag for 2011 Volkswagen Tiguan with Side Rails
    Roof rack manufacturers universal agree that you should not open the panoramic roof on your 2011 Volkswagen Tiguan with the crossbars installed. The issue is that the open roof could make contact with the bottoms of the bars and damage the roof and the bars. Also, the noise would likely be too much and you'd want it closed anyway. With that said on the Rhino-Rack roof rack bars # RRVA118B-2 and feet # RRSX022 the bottoms of the bars will be approximately 1 inch up from the tops of the...

To get this clearance, you'll measure from the center of the front bar to the line where your rear hatch meets the roof on both vehicles.
