Review on 🚘 Traxion 5-100 Tailgate Ladder: Easy Access for Your Vehicle's Rear, Black Finish by David Norwood

Installed on my 2007 Ram 1500, harder to get out after lifting it. In general I like the design but it needs some work. The included screws seemed flimsy so I didn't even bother with them. I used four stainless steel hex head screws. The lower crossbar is very thin; This is the part that touches the ground. I added bumpers that I could attach to the existing holes in the bottom of the lower assembly - just needed a very long extension. This prevents scratches on the road. The included strap is ok, maybe a little overkill. I just used a rip-tie I had on hand and used an existing bolt on my tailgate. Notes: - All images show the ladder on the driver's side - You can mount it on either side. For me it's safer on the passenger side. - Remember the gap when installing the mounting plate if you have a trunk lid - I had to rebuild mine. The rocker arms should be straight - this gives a little more clearance for the tailgate pull. There are several holes in the mounting plate, but you really don't need more than four. The instructions mention a design improvement. Make pipes tighter - there is still a lot of play.
