Due to the OEM running boards on the Transit Trail we were having difficulty finding a ladder. Initially we were trying to avoid a ladder. But the cheap telescoping ladder was too unstable on uneven surfaces and snowy parking lots. And it takes up a lot of interior space. Although expensive, we are super impressed with the design and finish of the FVCo ladder. High quality and perfect fit. Since we didn't have a FVCo roof rack I had to drill two small 3/8" holes in the our roof rack side rails. The result is a super solid ladder. Highly recommended.
