This present invention discloses a step assembly for a vehicle to pivot downward, upward and rearward from the open tailgate in a working position for providing easier access to the cargo area. The step device includes a base and a slidable base upon which an arm is slidably mounted. At least one step member is located at a location opposite the pivoted ends. The device of the present invention provides vehicles with a hitch attachment capable of expanding into a set of steps, offering easy access into the truck bed. The device also allows to pivot approximately 90-degrees to expand the steps outward, and remains in a stationary position while the vehicle is in operation, allowing the device to remain secured but out of the way from other vehicles. The device further prevents injury and difficulty when trying to step up onto a tailgate or truck bed.
