Boarding Steps

I'm looking at purchasing boarding steps for the Ranger. Trick Step & Easy Step are the 2 companies most heard about, are there more options out there besides custom fabrication?

Those steps look like an emergency room waiting to happen(for me). They need to be closer spaced and a handle of some type.

IT's hard to go wrong with Trick-Step, especially for a Ranger since they have great customization for a lot of Ranger models.

I have to agree:
I certainly understand the need for aftermarket boarding products especially as the years add up on our bodies(ME!) but honestly I can’t come up with a better way to board my trailered Ranger 521 than stepping up on the big trailer sidestep by the fender and throwing my leg over the gunnel on the passenger side and stepping in the boat right in front of the boats passenger seat. Kinda like climbing on a horse. Of course not all trailers are built/shaped the same. Maybe the day is coming that this method won’t work anymore!

TRICK STEP ! I put mine on in about 30 minutes with a socket set.

I finally got the trick step for my ranger. Not sure why I waited so long. I LOVE it.

Love my East Steps, easy to install and over engineered. I happen to know th guy who builds them.

Thanks everyone. I fish solo mostly anymore, so instead of rolling in & out like a walrus, steps would be nice. Der Vorsteher, really like the look & build of the Easy Step. Think I'll give 'em a call.

Dear sir, I would like to purchase your Easy Steps, please contact me via privately massaged. Best, FTT

Easy Step is some of the best money i ever spent.

Mine are like Jim Sr and they are a lifesaver on my Ranger Trailer.

HOw does it work around your break away tongue? Does in inhibit moving it all the way to the shortest position? Price?

$999

$999! For a couple of steps?

you can swap the bolt and pin and swing to the other side

Yikes!!!

Its been a while but I'll try and remember....when I first wanted one, the owner had me send him a picture of my trailer front and tongue area,
because he had to make the bolted angle fit. I'm thinking $400.oo to my door. Out of the box it fit like a glove. He can probably make one for either
side. When I bought mine everyone was hand made. I never close my tongue, but I dont think it would be in the way...
I love mine, I'm 265 and it doesnt move when I'm on it. And the steps are adjustable up-down the mount....jim

Trick step is what I bought myself at Christmas.. With two replaced knees it was very tough getting in and out of boat. There is a bar to help you up and down the steps that are powder coated to prevent slipping. Super good guys at the factory that helped me select the proper unit for my 188 Ranger. Gave me super information on mounting like move the pin from one side of swing tongue to the opposite side. go with the Trick step best thing I have done for this old guy!!

Three steps

I put Trick Steps on my Ranger RT188 trailer and it takes all of 10 minutes to install them.

My swing away tongue swings that direction and the steps do not interfere with it.
