Getting into a pickup bed should not require an awkward jump. The Original Traxion 5-100 Tailgate Ladder provides a practical, fold-away access solution for compatible trucks. It fits most pickup trucks with tailgate heights from 28 to 42 inches and deploys in seconds when you need to reach cargo, tools, or gear.
The ladder has a 300 lb total weight capacity and folds neatly against the tailgate when not in use, keeping truck-bed access convenient without interfering with your cargo area. Installation is designed to be completed at home. Because mounting locations vary by tailgate, follow the supplied installation instructions for optimal placement.
Before ordering, measure your tailgate height and review the compatibility information. This product will not work with Dodge RamBox, Chevrolet Avalanche, or Cadillac Escalade trucks, and installation is not recommended on those vehicles.
Note - Based on the model of truck and/or tailgate, the screw hole locations will vary. Only half of the holes in the mounting plate will be used. Optimum screw locations are the front and back sides of the mounting plate instead of the interior holes. Drill six holes in optimal locations using 0.14 inch drill.
Testimonials
"I gave this to my 80 year old Father after watching him trying to climb into the back of his 1-ton truck. Now he can get in and out easily without me having to worry about him falling." -texangirl (Sumner, TX)
Works pretty good on trucks. I should have bought this years ago since I am a diesel technician at a dealership. Highly recommend this topside creeper if you want to work on trucks more comfortably.

Game Changer!
I've been in vehicle maintenance for most of my life. I stopped turning wrenches for a living 20 years ago but still maintain my own vehicles. Recently, I had to do a job that was going to require leaning over the hood for the better part of 2 days, so I started researching topside creepers and I found this Traxion 3-100, so I ordered and I'm glad I did! What a game changer, no more sore back from leaning over the hood all day, I was able to easily access the back of the engine and had a clear topside view of everything. I weigh 235lbs and it supported my weight easily, I really liked being able to move the creeper around while laying on it. It never once felt unstable. I also opted to purchase the tray which worked out great! it never got in the way, and it held a good amount of tools, I also put a small magnetic tray inside to hold bolts as I was removing or installing them. I highly recommend both!

wroth every penny first day i used it
total lifesaver when working in the engine bays. spent 13 hours on it first day and it saved by back and legs. good adjustability too. took about 30 min to get together and the instructions were a 8/10 so thats another plus. overall 5 star product. wish i got one years ago.
This topside creeper is absolutely horrible. The powder coat and some stickers were damaged during shipping due to inadequate packaging. The support bar that is welded to the front side of the ladder limits the locations the knee rest can be used. The welded support bar on the back side of the ladder towards the top is in a very uncomfortable spot. Someone really dropped the ball on this one
I absolutely love my seat!! I have used my seat as an office seat for almost 2yrs! Best & most comfortable office seat I have ever used! I have back problems & this seat supports my back at all of the right places!!
