Well, I am older than middle age these days. Although I can enter the bed using the tailgate, or stepping on the tire, the step is so much easier and I have used it a lot to load up the truck while loading up and unloading the truck for a trip. It works great for me. I am using it on a 2024 power wagon and it fit perfectly with the existing holes. There is the wiring harness that you have to deal with, I rotated it slightly to get clearance, then cut off a piece of the foam that was in the box that the step came in and tie wrapped it around the step to provide a cushion between the step and the wiring. I make it a habit to face perpendicular to the direction the truck is facing when using the step because one reviewer said his broke, and if you are entering at 45 degrees your crotch will be right over the point of the tailgate. My step works and has not failed me but I always think about the possibities if things go wrong. I always support myself with both hands while using the step as well. I weigh between 210 and 220 usually- for reference. The price is very good for this step. I read one review that said the step fell off while driving, so I checked the tightness of the Allen bolts holding the hinge pins in when I installed it also. Everything was good. Very happy with my purchase, bought one for my son as well.
