A support device and components thereof can include a stepping cover attached a support frame. The support device has a length that is shorter than the length of a side of the vehicle between the front and rear wheel wells to facilitate access to a single vehicle door of a multiple door vehicle, such as a rear passenger door of a four-door vehicle. The support frame of the support device may be configured to be mounted to the underbody of the vehicle, and the stepping cover is configured to provide a stepping surface for the passenger to use the support device.
