Heininger Portable Car Automotive Steps, Black, 1.25", 2", 28 lb

This product exceeded my expectations in that it was sturdy. Very easy to install in great to use if you're holding your dog with one hand vs struggling to set up steps. It is height adjustable which is nice for different suv types. The only tweak I would make is perhaps making the arm shorter as it sticks out a bit further than I would prefer bc the hitch open space only goes back so far.

I was skeptical paying this much for a step, but this is the answer I've been looking for and is well worth it. My 75 boy was just fine using his folding ramp to exit the back of my car (a 2025 Chevy Equinox) but refused to use it to get in the car because it was too steep. And for me, the ramp was too clunky to lug around wherever we went, so we left it at home most of the time. This step is perfect. It's super well built and is always there! It's super easy to use and to swing away when not in use. The biggest happy surprise is how stable it is - this thing doesn't wiggle a bit when in use!
