Twistep for SUV's Extension Bracket

We have a 150lb Newfoundland Service Dog. I had a $200, heavy duty, top of the line, ramp for him to get in and out of my Ford Expedition Max but it was slowly killing my shoulders. And it was large and awkward to carry in an already full vehicle. It took a few times to teach him how to use the Twistep but he does it gracefully now and we had zero issues installing it. It works like a dream. Very easy to maneuver considering its heft and durability. I would recommend this to anyone who has a dog who needs a boost getting in and out of the car.

I have had my current Twistep since 2006 when we added our second Leonberger to our family. Just now replacing it so they are definitely built to last. If you have an SUV and you have a dog, you need this step! Jumping high into a truck can wear on their hips. Jumping out of a high truck is horrible for their elbows. All it takes is a little misstep and it can result in serious injury to your dog no matter size or age. When they get older and can't jump at all, the step helps get them off the ground a bit and makes lifting them into the SUV easier. This has been worth every penny and has been used by every one of my dogs since 2006!

Just perfect for my aging GSD. He loves the one large step as opposed to two smaller ones on a previous product. Would highly recommend for large breeds.

Twiststep doesn’t disappoint. My pup refused to get in or out of my Tahoe. Tried everything to try to get him out. He was getting too heavy for me to lift. A 6 month old GSD. Twiststep arrived and was installed and voila he’s been using it since and has no further issues with getting in or out of the car. This is my third twiststep and I would recommend it highly to anyone.

I love the concept of this. I appreciate how I can keep it attached and twist it out when I need it. However, I got the step and it didn’t work with my SUV so then had to buy the extension. On the website it says you need the extender for a grand jeep Cherokee, not a Cherokee which is what I have. So the site was misleading that the step would work with my model without needing additional support. Once I got the extender, I got it to work but the step has to be too far from the hitch to put the bolt in. The bolt holes do not line up with the step entirely set in, so it is awkward for my short-legged dogs. It does work, and I believe it would work great for the right type of car. I’m not returning it but I do wish the limitations were more obvious before I decided to buy. Here’s hoping it works better on my next SUV.
