An extendable and retractable step platform assembly is provided for a front of a vehicle to afford a user with a better view and reach for accessing an engine compartment. The step platform assembly includes a guide rail system coupled to a front frame of the vehicle. A step platform is coupled to the guide rail system. The step platform provides a substantially planar surface configured to support a load for an extended time. The step platform moves in a horizontal direction between a first position that is retracted behind a front bumper of the vehicle, and a second position that is extended beyond the front bumper of the vehicle.
