I was skeptical because he is 260lbs or more and I thought might not be able to hold him or be sturdy. It held his weight just fine. It did not bend either, and it has little grip things where you stand so there was no fear of his shoes slipping on the stand while he is leaning deep under the hood. Even he was surprised how sturdy and safe it is. I also like to go and bug him, so I will climb up on it and ask him a million questions (just like when I was a little girl, nothing changes). Using the HitchMate it is the only way I can see under the hood of his big truck.
A couple of items that I noticed and handled, and you may want to think about doing. This unit is black, and as such it kinda blends in with the rest of the lower truck, and I could see a ‘shin-replacement’ surgery in my future if I forgot it was attached to the tire. So I added some adhesive-backed reflective safety tape (Lowes/H.D), and stuck it to the front and back facing surfaces, and around the step (see pictures 1 and 2). If I prevent one shin-bone accident, it would be worth the $3 investment.
Second item is that the 20 inch tire is pretty wide rim, and the back bottom of the step will contact my rims when I stand on the step (picture 3). So I covered the back with some strip felt (picture 4), and attached a felt ‘button’ right at the bottom, to prevent any rim damage (see picture 5 & 6). Cost about $5.
