TGL Hitch Step, Trailer Hitch Step, Tow Hitch Step, Hitch Bump Step for 2 inch Receivers. Hitch Bump Step is Compatible with Jeep, Ford, Toyota Vehicles with 2 inch receivers.

I added this bumper-guard step, after my new car got rear-ended ("People, put down your cell phones, and JUST DRIVE ! "). I had just installed a hitch (for a bike rack, at times), so figured I'd add something to the hitch, that might add some 'protection'. I decided to add this bumper guard, hitch step. It doubles as a step, making it easier reach the roof. Handy, when it comes to SUV's. I looked at several models. This one had slightly raised traction stubs/bars, on BOTH the top and bottom sides (some others, only had it on one side) , allowing you to flip it to whichever side you want up. Flipping it, will raise/lower the top height about 1.5". You can also attach a recovery tow strap, if you ever need to. This thing is STOUT. It weighs about 15 lbs. Installing it, took a little force. It was super tight, going into a U-Haul type hitch (Draw-tite). I sprayed the end with silicone spray, and that helped. Some folks have said theirs fit too loose. With all the hitch brands out there, the 'fit' of this item is going to vary. It's to be expected, as hitch measurement tolerances are going to vary. So use some duck tape or shims, etc., or some lubricant spray ... to take care of it being too loose or too tight. Add a hitch tightener, if it helps. All, are cheap solutions. I chose this one, because it looked better ... as it's more rounded on the corners, less pointy. It already looks a bit ... 'unique', so I was looking for something that didn't look too weird. This fits the bill. I added some red tape strips around the outside edges, with a zip-tie to keep the tape from getting thrashed, at the car wash. I added a hitch pin lock, and a hitch tightener (tons of both, sold on Amazon). If a tank hit this thing, it would tear off the hitch, before loosening this hitch step. I mounted it to a dual hitch mount, which allows me to attach a trailer, or cargo basket down below (after removing my bumper-guard, first), and a bike rack up above. I added a chromed Skull hitch cover (and another hitch lock), to keep the upper hole covered, when not in use. Some reviewers complained of early rust. I have none. Even after several months of heavy rain. I'll spray it with a Rustoleum type paint, if/when it shows rust. Try this bumper guard hitch step, you'll like it ! It might take a few days for the overall appearance to grow on you, but then you'll realize how unique/cool it looks. And big-city folks ... this will keep other drivers off your rear bumper, when they're 'attempting' to park.

This thing is great. It is HEFTY and feels very high quality. I mean, it's probably 15-20 pounds. Seriously. I've had it for almost a year now, and it's holding up great, even after backing it into a cement wall at one point. Zero damage. (To the step, not the wall). The only minor adjustment I made was that the shaft was a little too narrow, leaving some wiggle room in the hitch receiver. I fixed this by wrapping one piece of black duct tape around the shaft before inserting it. It worked great, took up all the extra slack, and hasn't been an issue since.

Very heavy duty. I got this because I’ve been bumped twice in gridlock traffic twice in the last year and I’m sick of it. I dropped this off at a Berliner application shop to be coated. I don’t find the coating it comes with to be up to my standards for future rust prevention. Included test fit photos 2024 Nissan Frontier.

I like the step hitch plus works good with tow ropes

It’s beefy and not overly obtrusive at the same time. It will definitely defend your back bumper from parking lot idiots and it is a very functional step for me. It is a completely solid piece of cast steel, even the receiver shank is solid. My one complaint is the fit, it floats around a bit too much which causes it to audibly knock around inside the receiver tube while driving around; you can hear it inside the cab with the windows closed. I used a roll of 3M furniture protector felt tape padding around the shank to eliminate the slack and the knocking noises.

Well built hitch step. Recommend using a anti-rattle hitch clamp with this product to make it super solid.

I love this thing. First, it weighs a ton and serves as a great kettle bell when not in the receiver--seriously, you can swing it from hand to hand and get a great shoulder workout. Did I mention how heavy duty this is? Also, pretty badass, far classier than those tacky scrotums people hang from their hitches. Other than the 'punch out a tailgaters headlight or radiator' function, it is really a perfect step for me. I am 6' and can easily hop up on it and reach everything in the bed without dropping the tailgate. It does fit loose in the receiver, as one other reviewer noted, a little tape tightens everything up.

It’s bomb proof. The only issue is the one that many others have discussed. The insert is a sloppy fit. Some have talked about using tape or wooden shims to take up the slack but don’t want band aids that I’ll have to keep replacing. I have a 120 volt stick welder so what I did was take 5/64 6013 rod and ran two narrow beads lengthwise two on three of the four sides of the insert. then made my adjustments by adding metal or taking it off with a grinder to get the fit I wanted. I also put a small stop on it so the hitch stops on the hole I use when I slide it in. I prefer it all the way in and at the lowest configuration. I use it on my 3/4 ton e-250 work van and I’m in and out of it many times a day and sometimes not all the way in to grab something so I don’t want to be hitting my legs on it. It’ll take so time to get used to it being there but it’s already making things a lot easier. Before I put this on I had to enter the back of the van on my knees then stand up. It sits too high to step into it without this step. I love it.

Great bit of kit. Solid as a rock.

Very heavy duty. Good step

Looks great, solid, heavy and fitted perfectly. However, sadly as many other uses have reported, it’s not much use when the holes don’t line up! I’m returning it and have ordered another. Hopefully I don’t get another duff one, why don’t they just check they’re ok before dispatching???

Looks great! Very solid Heavy Duty step. Fit my 2024 F150 2”receiver perfectly. Only negative is that it is heavy. If the weight doesn’t bother you and you’re looking for a strong step this is definitely it.
