Most Popular 13-1/2 Inch Extension for 2005 Ford Explorer

Works as advertised. I use it full time. I painted the step surface with Herculon bed liner for a rubberized non slip surface, that works even when covered with frost or mud. Only down side, is that it reduces the tongue weight of the truck hitch by 50%. I typically use it to haul a 2 horse trailer. If it ever gets damaged, I will immediately by a replacement.

Affordable front step (wide platform) to service lifted vechicles and will provide distance between exterior mounted spare tire and hitch rack. Suggestion: design the step to fold up or down for a full time install.
