Twistep is an instant, multi-use step that helps your Dog get in and out of your pickup truck easily. It attaches to the hitch receiver of your vehicle and stores under the Bumper when not in use. Twistep provides your pet with lower-impact, lower-stress access into and out of a vehicle. Repeated jumping into and out of a vehicle can aggravate or even cause serious conditions like arthritis, leg injuries, back sprains and other spinal damage. And lifting a large Dog into a vehicle isn't easy Twistep can help dogs of All ages get into a vehicle. Young dogs can avoid unnecessary stress on Growing hips and elbows. Active dogs can appreciate a step up at the end of a long day of hiking, hunting and other outdoor activities. And Twistep can help older dogs, who may suffer from arthritis and who can no longer enter a vehicle on their own. Twistep easily swivels out from under the vehicle in a few seconds just when you need it. And it tucks out of the way under the Bumper when you don't. Twistep fits trucks with a 2" receiver hitch.

Just what I needed to assist my dogs into the back of our truck and for me when needing to get in the truck's bed as well. I've already had people ask me about the hitch step and try it out on my truck! This product performs to my expectations.....and they were high expectations!

It makes for a nice seat and our big dog uses it to get into the truck bed. It works well and does what we need, but we have a few problems with it.1) We had to modify the locking pin because it's not long enough to keep the bar from swinging to the side when weight is applied (the bar drops far enough that the hole is lower than the pin). I almost fell to the ground using it.2) It wobbles from side to side when standing on it. You have to be ready for that when using it or you could lose your balance. It would be very nice if the locking mechanism held it tightly.Fix these problems and I'd give it 5 stars.

Pros: It seems moderately sturdy, but of course only time will tell. AFTER 6 MONTHS, I HAD TO REMOVE AND REINSTALL AN INTERIOR PLATE, WHICH GAVE ME ANOTHER 2 MONTHS OF USE. THE PINS WHICH LOCK EACH PART ARE JUST TOO SMALL AND FLIMSY. The flexibility of the joints is worrisome. The step has two pivots, one of which (the T-bar) is very easy to operate. The second pivot, to extend the step farther, is not easy to use. I expect it to get worse, as soon as some dirt or sand get in the small blue mechanism. This is, however, the only reasonable solution I've found for pickup beds and heavy dogs.Cons: It's very wobbly and loose - so much that I hesitate to stand on it, and my dogs so far refuse to put their weight on it. It comes with a small bolt, that is somehow supposed to stop the wobbling within the receiver, but the hole the bolt is intended for is not accessible, once you install the step. They need a new designer, lol. Maybe a design like the old expanding bolts for bicycle stems?

this is an interesting product which may work well on large SUVS and trucks. It does not work on my Subaru Forrester because it falls too low under the trunk. Before you purchase this item be sure you can or have someone available to install it. Also check that you purchased the right one for your "car." Go back to the Manufacturers site to check on specifications. I had to get a mechanic to redesign to fit the subaru trailer attachment andnow I have to lift it in and out of the car and weights a lot.

David got back to me. Easy fix, step is back to working great, and best customer service ever. Happy dogs. Happy owner.Exact same issue as the other reviewer: The T-Handle pin no longer catches. Step was working great since we bought it in December, our dogs were actually at the point of preferring it over the leap, but a month ago the pin stopped catching. The first time it didn't catch our Newfie tumbled as the step swerved out from under her and smashed into my shin. I'll spare everybody the gnar photographic proof of the shin incident.David from Heininger, cool to see you got back to the other reviewer. I'll try you on Monday. If I can get a longer T-pin I think the step will be back to working great. Happy to change my stars if so.
