    Question What trailer steps should I get for my Vexus 1980?

    Does anyone have any suggestions for trailer steps for a Vexus 1980?

    Magic step works great. I weigh 266lbs and used it a lot last year.

    Please forgive my ignorance ( sets himself up for a reeming), but why not just use the step on top of the trailer wheel, works fine for me

    Because when I'm launching, wheels are in the water.

    I guess that makes sense, my trailer has the spare installed right by the winch so I can just use that as a step on the few occasions I need to get from the truck to the boat and not use a dock. But I guess if there was t anywhere to step safely, that does make sense. Im a bit slow sometimes so I won’t know until I ask sometimes I guess

    As you age having a step attached to the tongue works better than stepping on the spare tire. And the steps with the vertical poles to grab are just awesome.

    Its a trick step brand but it’s welded to the trailer. The aftermarket one is a bolt on.
