My husband and I have a Subaru Forrester. We are totally psyched with our Step Up wheel. Even though he is on the taller side, using it makes it much easier for him to mount and remove gear from our roof rack. For me it's a lifesaver. Since it hooks over the back tire, I sometimes have to open the front door and reach what I need towards the hood. Not a big deal. For me, being able to reach almost everything on the roof makes all the difference. The tote the Step comes with is great--no mess (key in VT winters) and easy to tuck away. Overall, this is a handy option for reaching the roof and I highly recommend it.

overpriced

Own it and not worth the money. Can save your money and stand on the tire.

Stepping up

Done with standing in my tire and trying to balance while loading the top of my rig. Im going to buy another one for my work truck. So much easier than grabbing a step ladder.

hella awesome for an SUV

Ridiculously simple and effective. I keep it in the storage bag in the back of my SUV once I put my roof rails on for the season. Also, the storage bag keeps everything clean if it's raining/muddy, etc and you had to climb up and tracked it onto the step. It's a great resource and is well designed for its purpose

Must have for all Thule roof racks

I bought the Wheel Step with my new Thule XL Force 625 cargo box to help me and my wife load gear into the box. We have a 2008 Buick Enclave and the wheel step fits snugly on our 19" wheels. One note of caution though is that the heavy metal bars rub up against our chrome rims, so that's something to watch out for. Comes with a clean, neat carrying case and the whole package is fairly light. We also have the Hull a Port "J" rack for a kayak and this Wheel Step also works well for helping to mount the kayak to the roof rack.
