Has anyone had experience with a tailgate ladder, good or bad?

Was not aware they had them for Mavericks. What would be the point of it? I traded off a Silverado with the corner step, best idea Chevy ever had, which I needed to get in the bed with the tailgate up or down. The Maverick I just leave the tailgate closed, step on the bumper and step over. Not sure why you would use the ladder.

Some folks get to an age where it becomes difficult to step up or down that little distance. Age is real.

I am 82 need a 3 or 4 stepper!

I'm 71 and can still lower the tailgate & just climb into the truck bed. But an alternate method is just sit on the tailgate and swing yer ass around and stand up. Keeping a knee pad handy may help, too.

I just carry this cheap Harbor Freight stool. Works for me just fine.

I just got a small flat folding step stool that i attach in the bed when not using with a bungee cord. Easy peezy....no drilling.....cheap and moveable. I do wish Ford would add a side bumper step for us old folks like Chevy and GM have.

I keep a step inserted into the hitch receiver and it may keep creepers off of my bumper! It's plastic and light. Very stable and tight in the receiver. Easy enough to change to my ball mount kept in the back. And cheaper if they really want to steal my step!

I like it but..
My shins would never forgive me.

Not my actual shins. But not far from it

Useless with the tailgate down though.

They could be elderly or handicapped.
