Installed mine today and it works better than I had hoped.
I have the same Ranger and my first thought was "How heavy is that already heavy tailgate going to be?" Sure enough, you said it. Something I also noticed is the step can be used as a shelf either inside the tub with that bar locked onto the step or if you flip it down and leave it magnetically stuck then you have a shelf with a rim around it sticking out the back of the tub. Would be handy for a tradie like me as a painter and mixing paints etc.

Great job, clear instructions. Thank you !
Looks sturdy and very clean! I want one for my f250 4x4 I am getting too old to be hopping around this beast! Hope I can get it in Texas!
I found this video by chance. But your wife/gf's comments are what kept me watching lol.
But no honestly good video pal 👌
Just what I need, thanks for the video mate.
It is perfect, well done 😘
Thanks mate, it works really well. I'll be filming a follow-up video this weekend about the product and some things I've noticed over the past couple of weeks
I got the Winstin ladder for my truck I’m worried if I drill it on the gate I hope that doesn’t damage rear view camera? what’s that wire inside of the tail gate?
This looks like the best tail gate step yet, how do I get one , do they make them for other trucks ?
Thanks beautiful job I ll try it for my hilux
Another drawback would be that I have the titan drawers and to get into them, assuming they weren't too wide, I would have to drop the step down to get into them. Which wouldn't be too bad I guess because I wouldn't need to pull the step down into position, it could stay up but If I am in and out of the drawers a lot and need to keep the back shut in between for security then it will become annoying. Then it would be a choice between how often I truly need to get up into the back and how often I need to get into the drawers. For me, getting right up into the back is required once in a while whereas I am getting stuff out of the drawers daily. But every time I'm climbing up in there I am cursing the tailgate.
It is a good idea but I would rather opt to put a sliding bed tray on my ranger so i do not even need to climb on the bed side. It looks better too and you can organize your truck bed more. But this video is also great :)
Yeah, the only drama with a sliding bed is you limit your height a bit as well as there's a while bunch of stuff to get gummed up with dirt and rocks and things if you ever transport that kind of stuff
Where can I get this?
I've been looking for it on Amazon....but I only find the ladders 🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
The product is good.but the way you install it is crazy!
As in it's very detailed and there is a fair bit to do or I personally did something crazy?
Great job. Congratulations on winning this tailgate step. I want one and have reached out to them to answer the same queston I am asking you . I live in Texas and have a full sized Ford F-150. I was hoping you could tell me your tailgates dimensions please. Length and Width so i can compare to my full size Ford tailgate which is 60 inches x 23.5 inches (LxW) Thank you sir.
Hey there mate, I've got some info for you :) might need to do some conversions though as my tape measure is in metric only
Dimensions of the tailgate on my Ranger: external width 1405mm & height 580mm
Internal flat area width 1260mm & height 515mm
The tailgate step mounted to the tailgate is width 1280mm (the handle sticks out past the flat area) and height 480mm
The other thing you might like to know is the height of the tailgate from the ground. My ute has a 2" lift in the rear so the tailgate is 850mm off the ground and this step folds out to be 520mm off the ground
I hope that all helps, let me know if you need any other measurements mate!
@@DoctorOctane Mine arrived last night. It took approximately 10 days to arrive from down under to Texas
Hey, that's pretty good actually, I reckon the last thing I ordered from the states took longer than that to arrive
"ute tub"...is that Aussie for the truck bed? *American here...duh* LoL! Thanks for the video. Looks like a handy gizmo. I work for General Motors, USA...they also like to randomly put torx fasteners in the most ridiculous places, makes building a car a pain in the you-know-what.
Hi how are you doing?
Is it worth to have it after one year use?
Have some rusted ?? Broken?? Or some parts were broken??
Does it make an annoying sounds ? When driving a vehicle? Like squeak, crackle, .... Etc.
And thank you so much 😊
Good bye 👋
Hey there mate, honestly it's been fantastic. No noise, no rust, nothing has broken or bent on it. The powder coating hasn't even worn off any of it. I'm out in the desert this weekend, using it a lot as a seat and to get in an out of the ute. I'll record a little follow-up video a year in, thanks for the idea :)
“That’s what she said “, your wife is awesome!
Had a question from the edge of the tailgate to the step when opened what’s the length? Just have a 2500 with 37s want to know if it’ll be low enough to step on still
Hey mate, it's roughly 35-40cm. Definitely will be easier than what you're dealing with now!
Hello DoctorOtane, can you Please Please reply me as I really like your truck’s bed liner what is its brand name and which website you bought it from would appreciate your answer and do you have link of video for installation of bed liner if you made one when installed that.Thanks.
Hey mate, that bed liner is the one the Ranger comes with from the factory. I'm fairly certain it's only held in with the 6 tie down loops in the bed
Wow for that price plus shipping I’ll build my own!!!!!! Even the price alone is a hell no !!!
16:15~19:23 Why did you not make little bit loose bolts for two side frames? You don't need to worry about bent nor scratched for the inner panel.
Unfortunately, you can't really access the bolts under the frame of the step so even if I was to slot out those four bolt holes, access to put the actual bolts in is obscured. Its mostly just a case of muscling it in under the frame of the step and putting the rest of the bolts in that are accessible
Interesting idea. Way too expensive for what it is. Good thing you got it for free...
I agree, if I had to pay with my own money, I'd kind of want something in the $500-700 range, this is a bit more expensive than that. In the price range this is in, I think I'd like the lift-assist for the tailgate to come with it as part of the kit
Nice install chip I wonder how much it cost to get it sent to Iowa
Cheers, might be worth shooting the folks an email. Follow the link in the description and there should be a contact page in there, they'll help you out
Where can I get one of these. What’s the name and model number please
Should be a link in the description mate
First time on channel, don't know how I got here or what your channel is about but, you don't appear to be a car guy...I think more a computer of salesman of some type. Torx screws anti-theft? um no. So the heads don't strip. And normally they attach as a socket for your impact driver...where the heck is your impact driver? Well heck, at least your giving it the old college try, so hat's off to you for that.
Thanks for leaving a comment mate, my channel's not really about anything in particular.
Let me try and address your concerns. First of all, there's torx head bolts and there's torx head bolts with the pin in the middle, the ones with the pin in the middle are considered "security" bolts. Yes they're less likely to strip when you insert or remove them but the pin was originally designed as an anti-theft measure and the bots to remove them are marketed as "security torx bits". Nothing to do with being a "car guy". Second of all, I don't own an impact driver. It's very difficult to use a tool that you do not possess and as such the torx bits that I used were of the manual, L-shaped variety. I'd be more than happy for one of my wealthy subscribers such as yourself to send me an impact driver so that I can use it but if it comes to saving for it myself, I have more important things to spend my money on than another cordless drill
Hi . I have f 1500 2013 you think can Install the system?
Hey mate, check out their website, they have a F-truck kit ready to go
@@DoctorOctane Is F truck Australian for Ford F series trucks?
Yeah mate, sorry I thought that was a pretty universal thing
What if you would have left the screws out and slide it in and not bend it. Then tighten the screws.
Yeah that could potentially work but once it's tucked under there and screwed down you can't even tell it bent. That would make it easier to install though and a good tip for anyone else having a go
@@DoctorOctane I would have creased it badly, That's just how easy I can mess stuff up! :)
Handsome, sexy, young man. What about us ugly, geezerly, old coots? LOL.
They just brought the Gen 4 Ranger back to the US, and the first thing I realized was that it's almost a foot (30 cm) taller than my old Gen 3. I still bought it.
And, being said old coot, it's a lot tougher to get in and out of the bed to get something that slid to the front.
On my to buy list!
I'm not even really that older (30)
I have the sports package, i think larger tires and maybe the suspension is a little different. Its rough to get in there, im def looking into some step solution
Haha, I've got a lift and bigger tyres on mine so my height of the step will be a couple of inches higher than standard. I don't imagine a factory "sports" package would give you more than a combined 75mm height increase but if it did this would still make it easier to get in and out
@@DoctorOctane idk its 940mm from the ground to the tailgate when its open
Yeah that's about the same height as mine unloaded, should work well
Can this be put on Toyota Tacom
Hey Ellen. It's very possible they have a set-up that's either perfect for the Tacoma or can be adapted. We don't really have the Tacoma in Australia but if the tailgate is the same as the Hilux, it should fit. Check the website to see what they have available
Safety first I see lol
올라갈때 힘들어서 고민중였는데 이런 제품이~~
That's what she said! Lol
SHOULD OF USED NUTSERTS FOR MOUNTING YOUR STEP! SO THAT YOU COULD PUT YOUR PANEL BACK ON WITHOUT DAMAGING IT
only thing i see is how are you gonna slide heavy stuff into your truck
When you flip the step down, but don't fold the step out, it's out of the way and you have the flat tailgate to slide on
I contacted the company about this step and they informed me that it has been discontinued.
Is it still working well after 2 years?
It's working fantastic, you can see it in use in my most recent video but I'll do a follow-up soon
@@DoctorOctane that's great! What about if you need to load a pallet? Does the step get in the way or is it not too bad?
Folded down it's as though it's not even there, just need to make sure the forklift driver is aware it's there and folded up, pallets sit up fine on it to be able to be slid on a bit further if the forks are short and the driver prefers it folded up. Just need to make sure the driver doesn't drop or slide the pallet over the locking handle. Either way no major issues loading pallets
You screwed up if you used hollow wall anchor bolts to attach the device you could of left it loose until the inspection was re-attached then tighten the anchor bolts no need to keep a spanned on the back side
All of that gouging and added weight for a step?
Gouging? Also, it's a ute mate, you're gonna stick big tyres, barwork, fridges, lights and roof racks, what's an extra 25kg?
Looks like more trouble than worth
I guess it depends on what you consider "trouble" and "worth"
@@DoctorOctane I am 59 and a bit of a fat ass...this step is both ideal for me to access the bed and the LARGE step is safe for when I step down out of the truck bed.
Just buy the step that goes under the bumper.
Because 1. if you change your rear bumper it looks odd 2. You miss out on the load stop feature and 3. You now don't have a foot rest when you and a mate are sitting on the rear step. Also the dinky little rear bumper step isn't possible to get onto the tailgate when it's open
@@DoctorOctane youn must not be familiar with the AMP step it bolts on to your frame and goes underneath your stock bumper. I have it on all my trucks and works excellent. You can avoid butchering up your tailgate.
Yeah but it's still a tiny little step, under the tailgate. Not particularly safe for stepping up while holding something you're putting into the tub or while stepping out of the tub carrying something
Why do Aussie never wear shoes hehehe jk
Haha, it's hot here and tell me you're not more comfortable without shoes on
DoctorOctane ya your right actually. Asphalt gets hot though but I guess you all have a thicker skin for that hehe
that sucks.. it takes space on your bed and adds extra weight to the truck.
I'm guessing you're American... it takes up 2" in the bed and as if we don't add bullbars, side bars, bigger tyres and other accessories to our already heavy vehicles. A 20 kilo step that actually makes life easier is a sacrifice I'm willing to make
Hmmm... I finally followed Ann's advice and took Stodoys. It's great for beginners and has some advanced stuff too.
What are you banging on about?
One of the problems i see from this kind of products is the way they advertise it, way too far from reality and way too expensive something supposedly for working class not rich class level
Right... not sure what reality you live in mate but if a $1,000 accessory for a $60,000 vehicle is too bourgeoisie for you then you probably should focus on putting food on your family's table rather than buying or accessorising a new vehicle in the first place. Personally, $1,000 for the practicality of this product and the amount it gets used is money well spent. Especially when you consider a decent set of wheels alone will set you back a couple of grand and provide absolutely no advantage over the ones the vehicle was delivered with. People will spend thousands on just the looks of their vehicle, providing no practical benefit to the user, then baulk at a product that makes their life with said vehicle easier.
@@DoctorOctane mic drop😂😂😂
Why did you say a foot and a half when we changed to metric before you were even born?
Because in some situations different units of measure are more appropriate to convey a sense of size than others. In addition to that, old timer, many things are still referred to by their imperial measurements no matter that we're under the metric system. Either way, did you understand what I was talking about? Did you get the gist of what I was saying?
Why did you make your user name all caps? All caps was shouting long before you were born
@@DoctorOctane what a hypocrite you have your user name all caps. And instead of getting your nose out of joint you could have said 460mmI just asked you a simple question and you responded like an idiot!!
Dude, chill... you clearly understood what I said and are being obtuse for what I can only imagine is shits and giggles. You've had your shits and I've had my giggles, go home
@@robertbutler8004 to be fair do you understand 450 apples, or two trucks long as a practical sense in your mind. I love the metric system but when it comes to "about a foot" there is no good measurement for it. you can say 450 mm's but that is far harder to grasp in your head then "a bit over a foot". If we are talking engineering specs here then yes stick to one or another, but in basic communication he is right most people understood what he was saying far better the way he said it.
$900 no thanks
Obviously safety is not your number one priority. No safety glasses and barefooted. Ok then.
It's not even on the list, I'm not a crazy Russian
My dog could do a better job
You should definitely film your dog doing it and chuck it up on TH-cam mate, sounds like that'd make for quite the video
Can you tell me the dimensions of this accessory? I want to be sure it will fit on my ride 😎
