This part will not work with Dodge RamBox, Chevrolet Avalanche and Cadilac Escalade Trucks. We do not support installation on the vehicles. It provides a nearly universal fit, deploys in a couple of seconds and greatly reduces the strain of getting into the back of a truck. When not in use the tailgate ladder folds and secures neatly against the tailgate out of the way of valuable cargo space. Heavy-duty construction ensures durability. From automotive tools that make the mechanic more safe and productive to truck accessories that improve accessibility, Traxion engineered products will continue to support the needs of their customers. Note-only half of the holes in the mounting plate will be used. Based on model of truck or tailgate the screw hole locations will vary. Optimum screw locations are the front and back sides of mounting plate instead of the interior holes. Drill six holes in optimal locations using 0.14 inch drill Review: Easy to use. - Easy to install. Can't believe I waited so long to get it. Makes it so easy to get into the back of my pickup and very easy to use. I thought about buying the one with a pole but it's not needed. Review: Change out the hardware, and it works great! - Vehicle: 2012 Ford F-150 I read many of the reviews here, and will concur. The hardware is the lacking part. Only kept six pieces (two clevis pins, two sheet metal screws, and two washers. I took advice of someone suggesting to nutsert the plate to the tailgate. Since I had a rivnut inserting kit from harbor freight, I went big and used 6 1/4x20 nutserts for the outer edges of the plate. First, I put the plate in position, and used two woodworking clamps over the top edge, to hold it against the tailgate. This enabled me to close and open the tailgate and make fine adjustments of the mounting position. Once satisfied, I drilled the outer six holes with a 3/16ths drill bit. I removed the plate and drilled the appropriate holes so that my nutserts would press fit into place, before using the tool. These MUST be identical in diameter to the OD of the nutsert. One by one, I applied a thin band of silicone to the base of each and pressed them into their holes, followed by squashing them like rivets into their permanent locations. Once that was done, I made ONE (a record for me) trip to Lowe's to get four 1/4-20 x 3/4" screws and two 1/4-20 x 1" screws. Two of the holes fell between ribs, so they were lower than the others. I also purchased a bag of 1/4" ID nylon washers, and a bag of 1/4" ID spacers (to fill gaps where void between ribs fell) found in the sorter drawers. Lastly, I replaced the four metric bolts and nylock nuts for 4 1/4-20 x 1 1/2" bolts and nylock nuts out of stainless - also found in the sorter drawers, not on a peg. Upon my return, I mounted the plate with the six phillips screws. Using the clevis pins, I passed the pin through the hinge piece, carefully slid one nylon washer between the hinge piece and the mounting bracket, passed through the mounting bracket, through the hinge piece and retained with the spring retainer clip. I attached the short hinge pieces with the rubber bumpers facing down when inside the tailgate (to prevent rattle). Using the same technique, I passed one 1/4-20 x 1 1/2" bolt through the other end of the hinge piece, nylon washer, and either the offset upper ladder rail or straight, and pushed through to a nylock nut, and secured using my 7/16" wrenches. I repeated for the other one. In case you are wondering, the nylon washer affords a bit of lubrication to the pivot, so one may tighten the bolts more snug, without losing the ability to fold the ladder. It reduces rattle. Finally, I added the lower section, and on my truck, whilst sitting on concrete pad in my barn, the optimal angle with the hinge pieces horizontal made the ideal hole position in between two others - which are spaced about two inches apart. So on mine, I extended the lower ladder until the top hole was exposed, put a bolt through each side to prevent it from moving, and drilled two 1/4" holes into the upper rails at the mounting position. As fortune would have it, after withdrawing the lower section of ladder, the holes fell almost centered between the other two adjustment locations. If the difference was maybe a 1/4" to a 1/2", I likely would not have gone to the trouble. After bolting the two sides, I laid the ladder to the inside of the tailgate. Using the supplied strap, two screws and two washers, I mounted the strap to the inside. I pre-drilled those holes with 1/8" drill bit. Only regret is that there is no stop to the ladder when deployed to lock it into it's downward position. It is a little wobbly, but if one is not in a hurry, it is quite functional. With the care that I took to position it before starting, once strapped in, the tailgate closes without interference. ## Features - Stens replacement parts have become a favorite among lawn and landscape professionals thanks to exceptional performance. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003VDX5D2 | | Best Sellers Rank | #82,555 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #4 in Tailgate Ladders | | Brand Name | Traxion | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (9,349) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00856213002160 | | Included Components | item | | Item Dimensions W x H | 14.2"W x 44"H | | Item Type Name | Tailgate Ladder | | Item Weight | 9.4 Pounds | | Load Capacity | 300 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Traxion Engineered Products | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 90 day warranty. | | Material Type | Carbon Steel | | Maximum Height | 44 Inches | | Other Special Features of the Product | Durability | | UPC | 856213002160 786362110136 715877294260 043946292993 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Traxion - **Color:** Black - **Material:** Carbon Steel - **Product Dimensions:** 14.2"W x 44"H - **Special Feature:** Durability ## Images ![5-100 Tailgate Ladder , Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/611DW+F1yhS.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will this work on a Ford Ranger 4x4?** A: Yes.

Included instructions were very clear. Only problem is the it was missing one of the four uprights, a major component. Overall construction and quality of the finish seems great initially. Reached out to the company; will update if/when I hear from them. Update: Reached out to the company's chat support via Amazon's product support link. The chat was very informal and not the quickest. They were, however, very helpful. Received the missing part two days later. I drive a 2015 Ram 1500 with 3" of lift on 35's. The ladder installed easily; the instructions provided in the kit are very clear, written well, and have good illustrations. The ladder fit just fine. I'm a big guy at 6'4" 280lbs, and this ladder had no issues supporting my weight. If you're in flip-flops or bare foot, you'll probably find the rungs a bit uncomfortable in your feet, as they're not very deep and are not angled like a traditional ladder. One thing that I did not think about and was not mentioned in the add, you have to account for the tailgate support cables. Luckily, mine has a quick release on the top end. I just disconnected it, folded the ladder down, and reconnected the sort cable. So if you're doesn't quick release, this might be a snag. Great product with a great finish and good construction for a reasonable price. The company sales director even reached out personally to make sure I got the part I needed. I'd recommend this to anybody with a truck that had those high mileage knees like I do. ## Frequently Bought Together - Traxion 5-100 Tailgate Ladder , Black - Powerbuilt Heavy Duty Tire Step for Truck, SUV, Non-Slip Steel Surface, Adjustable to Fit Tire, Fold Flat for Storage – 647596 Large, Black - Bytcew Cargo Grabber Reach Retriever Tool, 6.3 Ft Heavy Duty Truck Bed Accessories Telescoping Pull Pole with Two Hooks --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/3736879-5-100-tailgate-ladder-black](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/3736879-5-100-tailgate-ladder-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
