When ladder is folded up and tailgate is closed does ladder get in the road for hauling longer items?

another answer to your question. great buy. if you climb into the bed of the truck for anything, you will love it.

possible. if you haul items that fit inside the bed, and extend to or pass the tailgate such as plywood, then no problem. jus lay the plywood over the ladder and be on your way.

the ladder is rather compact. it is stays on the side you choose to install it thus leaving open the space on other side of the bed for longer items you may want to throw in the bed. the latter will stay in the inside of the bed when folded.

Some, you cannot load things in the bed all the way to the tailgate where the ladder is attached. I have a shortbed and longer items I put the tailgate up and rest them on the tailgate and strap it down. The ladder is great and it is well worth the inconvenience you will sometime experience when loading.

I ended up having a permanent ladder installed so I don't know. Kept this as a back-up.

It folds up against the closed tailgate. It also has tag relocation mount so that the lift is not blocking the bumper mounted tag. I never remove my lift. Drive with it on all of the time.

We bungee strap ours to the ladder on the back of the motor home. The tires sit far enough down in the openings to hold them pretty upright, but I would never move without having them strapped to each other and then on to the motor home.

you can use w tailgate closed but highest height I would say would be even w tailgate closed not roof height

No, I watched my grandson do just that. However I felt like at the time that if he kept doing it, the cord that moves the ladder would mess up some how. This is a really nice fire truck.... Worth the cost.

I don't believe I would recommend that. It is more for situations when there is something supporting the ladder from behind, such as a house elevation, etc. I probably would not do well with nothing supporting it from behind.

Not that I could tell. When you open the tailgate and drop it, it just gives it a slower opening all the way down.

Yes I folds up nicely... Some problems if you hace a SUV with a lift gate but can be gotton around

It folds away at maybe a 45 degree angle, if there are no bikes on it-I use it with a full size Dodge truck and when it's folded down the tailgate will open.

It folds lengthwise in half if the two halves are connected as shown in the photo. The halves could also be left disconnected giving you two ramps for an ATV or such.

When latched down if cannot be opened without first opening the tailgate. If your tailgate locks then yes.

Yes. If you know to use it. If, for instance, you keep one side folded, and open(unfolded) the other side, then put the short side higher up the stairs, and the longer part lower on the stairway.

No. And the latch on the top doors is not sturdy( more than once has not closed and the door has been found open. The ladder from bottom to top often falls and has to be screwed back in. Not the greatest purchase but it does the job.

There are 2 ladders and both can be left out.They are not structurally needed

It should depending on the stairs. The ramp has a "lip" at the top that holds on to a tailgate and would do the same on stairs.

extra x-it ladder will just sit in a pile on the ground below the window and should not cause any problems.keep in mind at the end of the day, you are trading the risk of being trapped with climbing out - you choose:)
