"The Truck N' Buddy Tailgate Step adds convenience to your everyday life by providing a secure step up or seat whenever you need one. The sturdy aircraft-grade aluminum design has a traction step, an 18"" grab-rail, and 1,700 lb. test support cables to ensure the utmost safety of its users – whether it’s for you, a senior pet who needs a bit of help up, a guest at a tailgate, or anyone else in need. This step comes with a 300 lb. weight capacity, and is designed to work specifically with trucks with bedcovers. It’s lightweight at only 14 lbs., and installation may require drilling into your tailgate. In addition to trucks with bedcovers, this step can also be installed on the floor of equipment trailers as well as flatbed trucks to help professional drivers easily access their equipment or loads."
