Video Transcript for Review of Performance Tool Nerf Bars - Running Boards - Tire Step - PT68ZR
Jeff: Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're going to take a look at this wheel step with the non-slip surface and a 300 pound weight capacity. Now, this wheel step will let you access any hard to reach places in your vehicle's engine, or roof. Zoom in here and you can see that the step itself has a nice galvanized metal cheese grater surface. Gives you incredible grip in even the best and worst conditions. And it is an open design, lets any mud, slush or debris pass through the step, doesn't build up on the step itself.
And as you can see, this demonstration we have on a tire, you can just install it right over the top of your tire and it supports your weight when you step on it, by bracing up against the tire itself.Now, it will fit any tire with a cross width of 13 inches or less. They do have adjustable pins right on here on each end that you can pull the clips, pull the pins out, and this will extend out. Right now, it's roughly about nine inches so it'll extend out even further to fit around a 13 inch maximum width tire. Also gives you a four position height adjustment, if you notice right on here. Same way there's a pin on the side and a pin on that side, if you pull the clip out, pull the pin out, it's got two holes here and then three holes on here.
So you can actually have four different height adjustments for the step itself.Few dimensions on the step, the length of it, one end to the other's right at about 21 and a half inches long. The width of just the step is about seven and a half inches wide. And again, the weight capacity is about 300 pounds. And what's nice about the step, you can see the step will fold up if he need it out of the way, but also when you remove it from your tire, if you notice, when you lift it up, you can let the back fold in and then it'll fold down on the step. So it actually folds into a nice compact size for easy storage.
And then when you go to use it, all you have to do, just open it up, take it, put it up against your tire, drop it over the top, level it, and you're all ready to go simple as that. But that should do it for the review on this wheel step with the non-slip surface and the 300 pound weight capacity..

I have a 4WD Suburban and recently purchased a car top carrier. Problem was I couldn't load/unload it without a step ladder, and I didn't want to carry a step ladder around. I ordered the wheel step - problem solved. It works great and folds almost flat for storage. Great product!
by: Priscilla 05/10/2023
This is so handy! I once had to get something off my SUV roof and had to find a guardrail to stand on to reach what I wanted. This is so much easier and safer.

Perfect for getting up to the topper rack on my lifted Ram 2500.
by: Steve11/30/2022
Lowest step could be lower. I'm 70 years old and have all the old guy limitations. A lower first step would still give me access to the bed and engine compartment without having to lift my self on one leg to get up.
by: Douglas12/17/2021
This step is awesome. Flat for storage but gives me instant access to top of shell, windshield for cleaning and under hood.

exactly what I wanted to reach into the bed of my RAM 3500 whole hooked up to my 5th wheel trailer. As always, etrailer came through expeditiously.

See what our Experts say about this Performance Tool Truck Bed Step
- Recommended Cargo Box and Roof Rack for a 2003 Nissan XterraIf your 2003 Nissan Xterra has a factory rack that includes cross bars then the Thule Motion XT Cargo Box, item # TH629706, will work great on the roof of your vehicle. If your vehicle does not have factory cross bars you will need to install them. The Yakima Roof Rack for 2003 Nissan Xterra, item # Y00408, # Y03536, and # Y33TR would complete the roof rack for attachment of either of the above mentioned cargo boxes. You may want to consider the Tire Wheel Step item # PT68ZR, which is...
view full answer... - Car Top Carrier for a 2018 Subaru Outback and a 2013 Subaru OutbackBoth your 2018 and 2013 Subaru Outback have fairly standard crossbars, so your pick will be more about fitting to both vehicles and being able operate their rear hatch without hitting the box. To get this clearance, you'll measure from the center of the front bar to the line where your rear hatch meets the roof on both vehicles. To ensure a compatible fit, you'll want to pick boxes that have a required clearance of less than the shortest of the two measurements you took. This required...
view full answer... - Recommended Crossbars And Kayak Carrier For 4 Kayaks On 2009 Nissan MuranoFor your 2009 Nissan Murano with factory roof rack, you can add the Malone AirFlow2 Universal Roof Rack for Raised Side Rails - Aero Crossbars - 50" Long # MPG215 to your system to give you aftermarket crossbars rated for up to 165 lbs. To carry up to 4 kayaks, I recommend the Thule The Stacker - Rooftop Multi-Kayak Carrier # TH830. This comes with straps for 2 kayaks, but you will want additional tie-downs for 4 kayaks. I recommend the etrailer Kayak Tie-Down Kit Item # e36ZR and...
view full answer... - Bike Rack Options To Carry 4 Bicycles On My 2005 Volvo XC90The most amount of bikes you can carry with a trunk mounted bike rack on your 2005 Volvo XC90 is 3, as this is as much as your vehicle can handle safely. You would have to carry the other bike on the roof of your vehicle if you choose to use a trunk mounted bike rack. The item you selected, Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier, part # TH911XT, is compatible with your vehicle and would be a good option as it features anti-sway cradles. Another 3 bike trunk mounted bike rack I would recommend is...

view full answer... - Will the Thule Outbound Roof Mounted Cargo Bag Fit a 2011 Subaru Outback with Factory Roof RackYes, the Thule Roof Mounted Cargo Bag, item # TH868, will work nicely on your 2011 Subaru Outback with factory roof rack. You should check your owners manual for the capacity of your roof rack and stay within that limitation. Another recommendation is to clean the roof and the bottom of the bag before installation. This will reduce the possibility of damage to the vehicle roof when carrying the bag. You may also be interested in the Tire-mounted folding wheel step Item # PT68ZR, to make...
view full answer... - Recommended Trike Rack for a 2019 Lincoln MKCI have a great option for you to transport your JC26X tadpole-style recumbent trike, but I do not recommend using the Softride Hang2 2-Bike Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # SR27041. Setting aside the potential issue of ground clearance hitch height with your hitch, the Softride Hang2 requires front handlebars to mount to the clamps at the top. Since we have not fitted a recumbent-style bike on the clamps there is no way to confirm whether the clamps will adequately secure at any point of...

- Will the Thule Pulse XL Cargo Box # TH615 Fit on a 2002 Ford Taurus WagonYes, according to Thule, the Thule Pulse XL, # TH615, cargo box will fit nicely on the factory cross bars on your 2002 Ford Taurus wagon. You may also be interested in the Wheel Step with Non-Slip Surface - 21" long x 9" wide - 300 lb Weight Capacity Item # PT68ZR, to make loading and unloading the box much easier.
view full answer... - Is a Thule Stacker 2 Appropriate to Carry 4 Kayaks on a 2011 Ford Expedition with Factory Roof RackI agree that the Thule Stacker Rooftop Kayak carrier # TH830 would be the best option for carrying 4 kayaks on your 2011 Ford Expedition. Please note that this carrier is not recommended if the kayaks you intend to purchase are longer than 10 feet, and it is not intended for use with ocean style kayaks, which are much wider. I have confirmed with my technical contact at Thule and the Stacker 2 will work with factory cross bars that are up to 3 inches wide. Please note that the minimum...
view full answer... - Will the Permance Tool Folding Wheel Step Fit 275/70R17 Tire SizeSo the Performance Tool Folding Wheel Step # PT68ZR will easily fit your tire size of 275/70-17 since that's much narrower than the max width of this rack. Your tire is less than 11 inches wide and the # PT68ZR will fit tires up to 13 inches. This does not go all the way over to the other side of the inner tire and basically just rests on the inner shoulder is how it is able to fit the narrower width.
view full answer... - Lock n Roll Tonneau Cover and Adarac Ladder Rack Compatibility For 2 Kayaks On A 2020 SilveradoThe Adarac Pro Series Ladder Rack # A4002965 has the rails sit over the stake pocket area of your 2020 Chevrolet Silverado's Bed Rails. Since the Lock N Roll Tonneau Cover doesn't cover up the stake pockets, it should fit on top of them. The rails will sit a little on top of your tonneau covers rails so it won't be completely flush but it will install. Now you can get two J-Style Kayak Carriers # e98878 so you can carry both of your kayaks. Our carrier is a very cost effective option,...

The Thule Force XT # TH6359B is one of our most popular roof cargo boxes that we have to offer. It is a 22 cu ft box with about 84" of internal length and a weight capacity of 165 lbs (be sure to check the weight capacity of your OEM bars too). This box is compatible with a crossbar...

- What Cargo Box for 2011 Honda CR-V Fits Without Interfering with Rear Hatch or AntennaThe SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box, part # SR7018, is an 18 cubic-foot cargo box that will fit many types of factory and aftermarket crossbars as long as they have a spread of 25-7/8-, 27-7/8- or 29-7/8-inches. However, my contact at Sportrack could not confirm whether this box will clear your roof-mounted antenna. It is possible that this will need to be removed when the box is mounted. To make certain, I pulled a sample from our warehouse and took measurements of the rear mounting bracket...
view full answer... - Tire Step Recommendation For 2004 Honda CR-VIf you feel the frame of the HitchMate TireStep, part # HE4040 may not fit in the opening on your 2004 Honda CR-V, we may have another option that will work for you. I recommend the Wheel Step, part # PT68ZR. This has an adjustable rail that slips over and behind the tire on your CR-V, so it should not be a problem at all getting it to fit securely. This tire step has a 300 lb weight capacity.
view full answer... - Cargo Box Recommendation for a 2011 Chevrolet Equinox with Factory Roof RackYes, either of the Boxes you have mentioned will fit on the factory Cross bars on your 2011 Chevrolet Equinox, with not additional hardware required. I would recommend going with the Thule Pulse Large Roof Box, # TH614, because the claw style mounting hardware makes installation and removal of the box much easier. For your Equinox you may want to consider the Folding Tire Wheel Step, # PT68ZR, to make installation, removal and loading of the cargo box much easier.
view full answer... - Rhino Rack Pioneer Platform Rack and Folding Ladder for 2018 Ford ExpeditionThere is a way to add a Rhino Rack Platform to your 2018 Ford Expedition but there is not one that attaches directly to your vehicle. If your Expedition has factory installed rails that run front to back you can add a roof rack, the Rhino-Rack Vortex StealthBar # JB0190. From there you can add the Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform # RR42115BF which is a universal mount that will attach to your Expedition's roof rack. I've attached a link to a video review of the universal mount Pioneer for you...
view full answer... - What Tire Step do You Recommend for My 2019 and 2021 Subaru Outback Wagons?As long as you have the standard tire sizes that come with your 2019 and 2021 Subaru Outback Wagons (225/60-18 or 225/65-17), the Hitchmate TireStep # HE4040 will fit your vehicles. When talking quality, the the TireStep is great because the adjustment part that goes around your tire is steel while some other steps come with a strap instead. The TireStep also has the greatest maximum weight capacity we carry for a tire step (400 pounds). If you are looking for a more economical choice...
view full answer... - Will Thule Sonic XXL Cargo Box Fit 2006 Nissan Pathfinder LE with Factory Roof RackI spoke with my contact at Thule and he said the discontinued Thule Sonic XXL Cargo Box is a confirmed fit for your 2006 Nissan Pathfinder LE with factory roof rack. However you will want to check the weight capacity of your Pathfinder's roof as well as the roof rack. In addition to the cargo box, I recommend picking up the Performance Tool Wheel Step, # PT68ZR. This will make loading and unloading your cargo carrier much easier. For install details and some product demonstration videos,...
view full answer... - Will Yakima SkyBox NX 16 Allow the Hatch to Fully Open On 2017 Subaru Outback WagonYou can take a quick measurement to make sure the Yakima SkyBox NX 16, part # Y95AV will work with your Subaru hatch opening. If your front crossbar can be moved, move it forward as far as it can go. Then measure from the center of the front crossbar rearward to the seam that separates the roof and the hatch. For the hatch to be able to open all the way with the SkyBox NX 16, that distance has to be 47-inches or more. The SkyBox NX 16 is a really nice cargo box that can be opened from...
view full answer... - Fit of SportRack Vista XL Roof Mount Cargo Box on 2011 Honda CRVThe SportRack Vista XL Roof Mounted Cargo Box attaches to the factory crossbars using the supplied U-bolts. The U-bolts will accommodate cross bars up to 3-3/4 inches in diameter. The factory crossbars will also need to be 25-7/8, 27-7/8, or 29-7/8 inches apart. I would not recommend using any other method of attachment than the U-bolts supplied by the manufacturer. You should also consult your owner's manual to determine the weight capacity of the roof rack on your CRV. You might also...

view full answer... - Easier Way to Access Fifth Wheel Hitch on Flatbed TruckThere is no extension for a fifth wheel hitch handle to let you access it from a distance. The best solution for you would be to use something like the Wheel Step # PT68ZR, assuming your flatbed does not jut out over the tires too significantly. Otherwise, a simple step stool such as # TE97FR is your best option.

- Will the Thule Roof Basket # TH859XT Fit on a 2010 Honda CRV with Factory Roof RackThe Thule Roof Mounted Cargo Basket, item # TH859XT is a good choice. It is large, and has an included fairing that makes it aerodynamic. The Thule model will fit crossbars that are between 20 inches and 37 inches apart. There is an extension available for the rack should the space be required. For the Thule Roof Mounted Cargo Basket Extension, item # TH8591XT, will extend the carrier 20 inches. I would also recommend the Wheel Step - Tire Mount, item # PT68ZR, with either of these...
view full answer... - Cargo Box Recommendation for a 79 inch Long LadderIt would be a tight fit, but the smallest box you could get that would fit your ladder would be the Thule Force XL Rooftop Cargo Box # TH6358B. The internal dimensions of this box are 80" long x 32-1/2" wide x 15" tall. Only thing is it doesn't have a rear opening. It opens from the side. All of the boxes we carry now only open from the side. To make loading and unloading easier you might also be interested in a tire step like # PT68ZR.
