I am 67 with well used knees so climbing up and down from the truck bed was very difficult and not very safe. I received these stairs and popped them on the hitch. I have a Ridgeline so I could open the tailgate from the side and it cleared the step with plenty of room so I could use both steps. I climbed up and climbed down with no real effort and felt more than safe from falling or injuring a knee. It is small enough and light enough to put in the bed storage box so it is was the perfect solution to my problem of getting into and out of the truck bed.
Excellent addition for my 2022 Silverado 3500HD. When I get to the job I pop it in the receiver hitch and it makes getting in and out of the back a whole lot easier. Highly recommended
Great product! E-trailer is a great company and I love the website showing tracking etc would highly recommend
I like it! I use my '55 Grumman (Doughboy) for camping and was looking for an alternative to carrying around a stool/step to put on the ground. I came across this Hitch Stair and I already had a 2" receiver on Doughboy, so figured I'd give it a try.
I was going to make one myself, but didn't want to take the time.
It does have a little "wobble" in it, but that could also be my receiver. I just carry a couple of wooden shims with me to make it steady and it works just fine.
I recommend it!
Worked great! Not exactly what it was designed for, but I modified it for a boat step, for trailer.
This product really needs a third step. It was difficult to step up, way up, into the camper. But that is not a worry anymore. I sold the camper and purchased a 5th wheel. Right now the step is sitting in a corner of my garage collecting dust.
Just right for vehicles with truck campers, especially if you need to run with the tailgate down. This with a hitch extender allows two steps and you’re on the tailgate.
This product is a life saver! After having stumbled off a small step ladder to exit my truck camper - resulting in knee surgery - I thought NEVER AGAIN! These steps are solid, stable and DEPENDABLE! Knee surgery is not how one needs to start retirement!
Thanks for a great SAFE product!!
Being somewhat disabled I had a hard time exiting my boat. With the help of these steps it is no longer an issue. These steps are solid. I used a small bumper receiver mounted unto the riser. Much easier to exit the boat now without the fear of missing my step on the trailer beam and falling or slipping.
The stairs are perfect for my camper. Easy to slide out and stow to maintain high clearance.
Quality is great however for a cab over camper there really needs to be a third step, or an option to add a third step.I really wanted these to work because while Bigfoot campers are amazing their option for stairs are rickety.
I came upon a reference to this product while searching on line for a receiver-mounted platform to replace the folding step stool we had been using to enter our Four-Wheel camper. It appeared to be just what we needed, and I found that it was an almost perfect fit. The top step is at nearly the same level as the step built into the bumper of our 2001 GMC Sierra, so this provides a large level place for our feet when we are exiting the camper. With the step unit inserted into the receiver with the middle hitch pit hole aligned, there is only a very small gap between the top step and the bumper step. I am not sure yet if we will be traveling with the steps in place, but I did install reflective red tape on the back edges of both steps, and on each side of the lower step, so that it is more visible. Be aware that the mounting bar of the step unit is not a tight fit in the receiver, so there is some movement when weight is placed off-center on the steps. Wrapping tape around the mounting bar, or perhaps inserting shims, might improve this situation.
This two step hitch stair setup was exactly what I was looking for to provide easy access to our truck camper. The steps feel very solid and secure when going in and out of the camper. I bolted on some 2x10s to make the steps even a bit larger. I painted the wood and added antislip strips for safety. I also offset the wood steps a bit as our camper door is offset to the left. Silas the dog has no trouble going up and down these stairs! Great price for a great product!
Just received the stair steps and put them on my 2019 F250. I am very happy with them as the steps allow me to enter and exit the back of the truck with ease. I should note that this is a work truck with a space kap installed so I have two doors that open, no tailgate. It is so much easier to have the two steps so I don’t have to step up high to get in.

Steps are still working great and are solid. I leave them on the truck all year in the north east so they see sand and salt in the winter but even so there is barely any surface rust. If I was in the market for steps again I would definitely buy these.
Product great,the box it was shipped in wasn't.

Works great
Step wobbles when you step at it's left and right sides. I tried shimming left right and bottom of the hitch which helped. I had though that it needs an angled split in the part that goes into the hitch with a draw bolt that pulls the 2 split halves towards each other allowing the size to grow and tighten into the hitch receiver. I thought about drilling a hole into receiver and welding a 5/8" nut onto side of receiver to tighten a bolt into the tongue of the step. I like the split tapered idea better as I would not be compromising the hitch integrity. I switched back to folding stair and do not use the step.

At first I was not fond of the step! the 10 step is way too large. Most step averages in a home run 7-14. I let the item set for 6or more months. Finally I decided to use the item as parts and make mu own custom step. I ground off the weld from the hitch tube, rewelded the placement from the hitch to my top step to match my needs being 7 below rear truck camper rear porch. We then cut and rewelded the lower step to be 7 below upper step. I tried and loved this, but the centerline of the hitch does not match the centerline of the camper door. Next modification we cut the welds from the steps to main center steel structure. we offset the steps to the right leaving 3 overhang at left of main support. The top step was very stable, but bottom step required additional steel bar welded to the original frame, and 2 14 rods at an angle projecting out to support the bottom step from flexing. Now that I have modified the original to my needs. I LOVE THE STEP . It provided me with incredible parts. By the way, the step does not wobble now as all pressure is on one side, not shifting from right to left as you go up it.
It took me a while before I tried the stairs on our truck with camper. We have Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD and the combination camper, and truck seemed too close a fit and did not suit us. I know there is a hitch extension, but we often tow a three horse trailer and it was too much of a complication to buy more stuff. The same was true for tie-down cleats, as our caamper fits intothe bed too close to keep the cleat permanently installed. etrailer was great for responsiveness on purchase, and if etrailer had been a local store, I would have taken it all back for refund. Instead I have the stuff stored.
Using as steps to make getting in and out of the boat safer. Not as nice as trick steps for this use but much cheaper and serves the purpose
Step works perfectly for our truck camp er
My truck bed camper is so easy to access with hitch stair and extender. Having them has finished off my project perfectly. Thanks
The plug in has been the perfect set of steps to get in and out of my camper. This was exactly what I was looking for.

This unit is just about perfect. I added strips of grip tape on the edge of each step, and that makes it perfect for my Tundra and Four Wheel Camper. When I’m on dirt roads I take it off or just turn it upside down and roll! I generally don’t review items much, but I looked at so many options before purchasing and was very pleased when this product arrived.
Well made solid construction
Sometimes to heavy and awkward
I had to have an extension welded on because it didn’t clear the tailgate when it was down
Have had this hitch a little over a year maybe 13-14 months and it’s served me well as day one. Very happy with this. Wish I knew about this step sooner. Did a lot of research before I made my pick and I picked well.
The step is useful to enter your truck bed. However, the step itself is cheaply put together. I only used it a few times (used less than 5x) and the bottom step weld separated and the bottom step fell off.
