Heininger 3062 Portable PET Twistep Dog Hitch Step with Hitch Lock

Twostep is an instant, multi-use step that helps your dog get in and out of your SUV easily. It attaches to the hitch receiver of your vehicle and stores under the bumper when not in use. Twostep provides your pet with lower-impact, lower-stress access into and out of a vehicle. Repeated jumping into and out of a vehicle can aggravate or even cause serious conditions like arthritis, leg injuries, back sprains and other spinal damage. And lifting a large dog into a vehicle isn't easy! Twostep was designed for single hand use, so you can have a leash in your hand, while you easily position the step into place. Twostep easily swivels out from under the vehicle in a few seconds just when you need it. And it tucks out of the way under the bumper when you don't. Unlike ramp alternatives, with Twostep there's no time consuming set up required. There's no heavy, awkward or muddy items that you have to stow in the back cargo area of your vehicle. And importantly, there's no more lifting! Included with this Twostep is the Threaded Hitch Lock to secure your Twostep to the receiver hitch and prevent theft. 2 Keys are included with the Lock. Note: The following vehicles require the TWISTEP Extension Bracket (item #3053) to provide additional clearance for the spare tire: 2006 - Current Chevrolet Tahoe, 2006 - Current GMC Yukon, 2006 - Current Nissan Pathfinder, 2014 - Current Jeep Grand Cherokee A minimum of 16” ground clearance is required from the lower-edge of the receiver. Twostep does not fit a 2019 Subaru Ascent and most mini-vans due to either the bumper configuration and/or ground clearance.
