Adam: Hi everyone, Adam with etrailer.com. Today We're going to be taking a look at the Car hitch mounted step. These do come in many different variety of colors. As you see here, we do have black, it does come in a reflector red, or reflector white. There is an American flag one, which is definitely my pick, but we have plenty of other different types of logos, so go on etrailer.com and check them out. So our color or logo is going to be visible when it's flipped up like so, but we can flip this down, and it is going to have a very grippy surface, and it is made of steel with a nice powder coated finish, so it's going to last a long time, always look good, and it will get you that 650 pounds of weight capacity.So what I've noticed with owning a pickup, a lot of the times, it's kind of awkward to get up into our tailgate.
It's hard on our knees, our back, and our hands. I do see this being a lot easier as you can just basically step on the step, and get into your be like so. It's going to be easier on you and just make you be able to do whatever you need to do a lot easier. So this is going to work really well with our SUV's, even if we have a spare tire here, we can step on the step, and we can go ahead and load and unload our roof rack a lot easier.So the step is going to take care of your truck as well. Instead of using the bumper and scratching all this plastic, it is going to provide a lot more grip as well.
This plastic very, very smooth, and it's going to scratch a little bit more often than our steel down here. On top of that, if you have a pretty license plate, you're not going to have to worry about scratching it up whenever you have any sort of work boots on or anything like that. So yes, this is a rather smaller step than some of the other options we carry at etrailer.com, but it definitely has a more lower profile looks good, and even when it's out, or folded up, it's going to give you a lot more unintrusive look.So when comparing this fold-up step to the larger mega step, that car offers, it is going to have about 150 pounds more weight capacity, but we are going to lose a lot of surface area. In this instance, we are only going to have about five inches long by two and a half inches wide, and it is going to stick out from our hitch receiver about five inches. And when we fold this up, it is only going to stick out about two inches.
So the step does not come with a pin and clip. I just have a basic one right here, but it is a rather attractive step. So if you don't want it to run off whenever you're in the store or whatever it may be, you can grab a locking hitch pin here at etrailer.com. One thing to note, be sure to check what size hitch you have. This will be available for only the two-inch hitch receivers.So whether you're using this on a pickup truck, or even just a taller SUV to load some of your stuff onto your cargo carrier, regardless of what it is, it's definitely going to get the job done all while making your ride look a little bit cooler.
Again, this was the car fold up step, and I'm Adam from etrailer.com..
Ratings & Reviews
I needed a small step that could also protect the bumper and it's perfect. Feels very solid despite its size. Good communication from Etrailer regarding delivery.
Excellent product. The spring in the step is still tight, so after one year it is still sturdy and not at all loose or shaky. It does what I need it to do, and at night adds a bit more visibility to my Jeep from the rear.
My one complaint and the reason it doesn't get a fifth star, is that I had a similar step before which I sheared off while off roading, which had a single hole for the pin the appropriate standard depth. This step has two holes, which gives more flexibility on how deep they can be locked in inside the hitch receiver. But neither one is the perfect depth. One is too far, the other is about 0.5cm too close, so the step isn't completely in my hitch receiver. This does not affect the functionality or stability at all, but visually it doesn't look perfect.
Very good quality nice looking product. Just by the looks and feel of it you can tell this will last
Perfect for my new F150 pro access tailgate. Much better than permanent mount. Very heavy duty and well made. I highly recommend!
Nice, heavy duty with American Flag rubberized like a small bumper...
It matches my logo for my company which has the American flag design.
Excellent product! Installed on my Ranch Hand bumper 2” receiver hitch. Makes it easy to check engine fluids.
Excellent Hitch Step. Looks great when not in use, and is very functional when a step is needed. Highly recommend
Nice hitch step with a small profile. I do wish the holes were better placed for the Draw-tite hitch. It sticks out about 1inch more than it needs to in the receiver. Very secure to step on, non slip surface. It makes it easier to reach the car top.
We have a 2019 Honda ridgeline and as my wife says, she is vertically challenged only being 5’1” tall. So I decided to order this step to help her as needed when she wanted to get up in the back of the truck. It works great for that and I like the reflector factor for the back of the truck, anything that helps being rear ended by some fool driver.
The only down side is that it isn’t as tight in the 2” x 2” trailer hook up as I would like to see, but that’s a small deal.
sturdy and well constructed. I think it will last a good time
Well made sturdy products! The hitch step is perfect with a fold up option to avoid leg injuries. Quick and accurate delivery.
This step is the best thing since sliced bread!! Sturdy, fits very well in receiver, and when folded, only projects one inch from the bumper.
With my side-swinging tail gate, and a short paracord dog collar (looped around a bed tie down) it is effortless to get inside the truck bed. Hooray.
This receiver folding step is robust and well made. It is also stealthy and hardly noticeable to leave in place for access into the back of my 4runner.
Shipping was quick and under a week for delivery.
I bought a ‘27 Land Cruiser, one of my childhood dream cars. My wife drove it off the lot and won’t give it back. (Sad face) Since she’s only 5’-0” tall we needed something for her to be able to get into the cargo area. This folding step is perfect for her! It, low enough that when she puts her foot onto it her knee position is perfect for hopping into the back. The styling is great with the LC and we couldn’t be happier with it. We purchased a locking pin to keep it from rattling and man is it a sweet set up!
easy to order and rapid delivery
It is a good product, but the definition of the horse is not as clear as I hoped. However, it looks like it will be functional.
My wife loves it. It is very well made, nothing flimsy! And we especially like the horse theme.
too cute! and may really work for me on my new ram 2500!
I haven't used it. But looks to be very well built. Should work great..
My wife is into her horses and her new Jeep Cherokee. She loves her birthday present. Product was as advertised and high quality
Looks nice on my Toyota Tundra and the step seems very sturdy.
I really enjoy the step. It helps a lot getting into the back of my truck. But the spring broke probably a month after I got it. Still works but the step stays down all the time. Have to watch for it walking around the truck or it will get you right in the knee.
