Today we're going to review part number CR-600, this is the Pilot Stainless Steel Round Tube Trailer Hitch Receiver Step, for 2 inch trailer hitches. This will allow you easy access to any luggage racks and also to your truck bed. It does act as a nice strong bumper guard when it's installed in your hitch. It does have attractive round tube styling. It is constructed from a mirrored polished stainless steel. If you notice on the very top, it is topped with a non-slip, high impact plastic step pad. Now, again, this is compatible with 2 inch by 2 inch trailer hitch receivers.
If you notice on the sides, it has a multitude of three different holes so you can extend this any wheres from about 7 inches to 9 inches. Just a measurement on the overall width, from edge to edge, it'll be right about at 18 inches. The tube itself is a 3 inch diameter tube, very large tube. Capacity on this is 350 pounds. Now the hitch pin and clip that are used to hold this into your hitch receiver, they are not included.
You would have to buy those separately. We do sell those on your website. This does require a 5/8ths inch diameter hitch pin, but just to show you, I have an example here of a 2 inch hitch receiver opening. Basically, what you'd do, is just line your holes up, go ahead and slide it in. You can line it up with the very first one, just like that. We can extended it or you can push it all the way in, just like that.
It's very easy to install into your hitch opening. That should do it for the review on part number CR-600, the Pilot Stainless Steel Round Tube Trailer Hitch Receiver Step, for 2 inch trailer hitches. .

This is extra handy for me as I have a front hitch. The truck is quite high, a 3/4 ton WT Chevy. For any activity under the hood, checking fluids, adding windshield washer juice, the step is really helpful. It is not real heavy, so changing to a regular insert is easier as well. Looks spiffy, too!
Overall, excellent.
I put other individual's reviews to use before purchasing this product. One concern repeated by others was the tendency for the endcaps to fit loosely and to fall off. This was simply corrected by applying some Gorrilla brand glue on the inner flat surfaces of the caps and then reinstalling them.
Another set of potential issues was a potential tight fit into the reciever or the possibility of corrosion between the reciever hitch and the step causing them to seize up over time. I simply applied a good coating of lithium grease to the inside of the hitch reciever. This product with the reciever hitch lock looks and works great.
This is my 2nd step and is replacing one damaged when my car was struck in the rear while stopped. My step was bent to the right, but my SUV suffered no other damage. The car that hit me had a badly damaged front bumper which was pushed in causing some damage to its fenders. This step is very strong and well made.
My order was easy to place, the price was good, and it arrived quickly - within three days. I highly recommend Etrailer.
Looks great!! Going to save the paint on my C10.
I received the trailer hitch receiver (2" fitting) and the lock quickly. It fits perfect, not an issue at all. It looks really nice on the new Pathfinder, not too big or too small. It serves the purpose of stepping on or any fender bender. Living in the big city, anything could happen while you park your car in the lot. The price is right too. Pepboys sells more for the same item. Ordering from etrailer, I do not even have to carry it home, it delivers right to my door. Thank you.
Looks great and people have asked me about it. dose a nice job of hiding the otherwise ugly opening around the receiver area on my Enclave. very good product and service from etralier.com Your wiring harness was excellent also.
and receiver lock were fine also.
Received the step bumper just as expected, well packaged and on the date expected.
Installed into the trailer hitch receiver, perfect fit!. Noted in a previous review the end caps could work loose, fixed that potential problem with some contact cement before placing the step number on my truck. Looks great, will use it frequently, great product!
Perfectly happy with this nice quality product! Helps to prevent those nasty parking lot dings in my "so called" bumpers. Also helps with securing those kayak straps and loading the racks. I would definitely recommend it!
Looks great! The only issue I had was getting it to not rattle. The piece that was supposed to take care of it was a waste of time. I ended up using a durable shipping/strapping tape wrapped around the tube where it hit both ends of the receiver. It works like a champ so far and comes out easily in order to mount your hitch. Otherwise it's a great product!
I like the way this product looks. I am using as a step for the front of my truck. it is convenient for washing the truck and accessing the engine. I have a 3/4 ton dodge with hummer tires so the truck is high in the air. with one pin it can be moved to the back.
john - 11/03/2019I received the product in a timely manner. Great communication from the folks @etrailer. When I received this item was packed well and I installed immediately. I love this and it looks great! I have a 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee and every vehicle I have ever owned has been a magnet for people to hit. I hope I never find out but I'm ready now.
I had to return this product. The Buffy Round Tube Trailer Hitch Receiver Hitch Step did not fit the 2" trailer hitch on my 2010 Toyota 4 RUNNER.
It is slightly larger all around and the black powder coat did not help matters.
Otherwise it looked terrific. I would have kept it, if it fit.
I have a Bumper Bully Trailer Hitch step on all my trucks and SUV's. great protection of my bumpers when parking and a always needed step.
Rusted and stuck in rear hitchI bought this product about a year ago. I went to remove the step hitch in order to put on my towing hitch and it wouldn't come out. It rusted and stuck itself to the inside of my hitch receiver. I had to bring it to an auto body shop to remove it.
I suggest periodically dousing it with WD 40 (the part that goes into the receiver) before it rust out. Otherwise it does what it is meant to do.
The hitch step product is for my wife's Murano and she Loves it. Says it makes her vehicle bad as-. As usual, etrailer was a pleasure to work with. Easy to find products, and some I did not know I needed. I appreciate all the follow up communications about my order status.
No pinsThis product was excatly what we were looking for and arrived very quickly. The only complaint is that it was not stated in the description of the product that the pins were sold seperatly. Had we known we would have ordered them at the same time and been able to add them to our estimate.
helpful. only drawback is needing to put tailgate up in order to use
Johnathan - 01/08/2020Sturdy and provides a nice spot to step while getting in and out of my pick up truck's bed. The choice of position for how far it sticks out and the anti-rattle pad that comes with it are nice bonuses.
Great product....excellent service. Works great ....if you have ever bumped your knees on a "trailer hitch"--- this solves that problem and it is a great step to get into the bed of your pickup without letting the tailgate down.
End caps are loose, I'm going to glue them on. Other than that look's great.
Paul S - 10/07/2018Quality product. Delivery was quick. Installation was easy. Anti-rattle feature well thought out. Once installed, this item was "a step above the rest". (No extra charge for the humor)
Quickly shipped. Fit perfectly. Looks great. Highly recommend e-trailer for their products!
Just what I'm looking for great shipping excellent thank you
Product came quickly. Had no trouble with installation.. Looks nice. Bought it mainly to put something between the rear of my vehicle and others... Thanks!
looks great, only concern is the end-caps fit loosely, belive they should have been glued to hold in place better,
