Dimensions of the HitchMate TruckStep Extendable, Hitch Mounted Step

Question

Question:

How far does this extend, say, from the hitch pin hole to the back edge of the step when fully extended? I own a 2018 Dodge 3500 dually and need to know if the step will be usable when the tailgate is down. Thanks,

From the center of the hitch pin hole to the furthest edge of the HitchMate TruckStep # HE4045 is about 20-1/2". If you need more room than that we have the XL version as part # HE4037 which measures 29-1/2" from the center of the hitch pin hole.

I have attached some diagrams that you can reference as well as some review videos.

If you measure from the center of your hitch pin hole down 4-1/2 inches that will be where the top of the bar would be. So if your spare is less than 4-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin down this would fit around it easily.

When the HitchMate TruckStep XL part #HE4037 is extended all the way out and folded down it measures 26 inches. So it would stick out 6 inches past your tailgate.

Since both a ST145/R12 size tire, like the Kenda Karrier S-Trail #AM10130, and a 5.30-12 size tire, like the Kenda K353 #AM10068, fit a 12 inch wheel, a ST145/R12 size tire can replace a 5.30-12 size tire. Keep in mind that these tires do have…
