Pick up Step Drops Down When Door Opens
PICKUPS Accessories 22-3-27 The problem with add-on steps for pickups is that they reduce ground clearance and change the look of the truck.
Not so with this new powered "drop-down" step that automatically lowers or retracts when you open or close the door.
The SideWinder step has an 11 by 5-in. tread plate that's lifted up and down by a parallel set of arms. Designed to support up to 350 lbs., it's controlled by a small electric motor that the step activates by the light switch on the door. When the door opens, the step drops down 7 in. When the door closes, the step tucks up under the side of vehicle.
Available for most pickups and sport utility vehicles. Choice of black or aluminum tread plate.
Sells for $149.95 plus $15 S&H.
