Abstract

See full text

The present disclosure relates to a step rail system readily configurable for use as either a step platform along a side of a motor vehicle, or also as a loading ramp for use in loading cargo into a cargo bed of the motor vehicle. The step rail system has a step assembly forming a tubular assembly, and a plurality of support elements each having a first end and a second end. The first end is affixed to a portion of the vehicle, and the second end supports the step assembly thereon. A striker is fixedly secured to one of the support elements. A user engageable latching assembly is carried on the step assembly for releasably engaging the striker when the step assembly is positioned on the support elements, to thus secure the step assembly to the support elements in a first configuration for use as the step platform, and enabling the step assembly to be detached from the support elements and used as a loading ramp.
