Hi Renato!

The 2" hitch attachment on the Carr Mega Step Fold-Up Step - Black # CARR190011B allows this to handle up to 500 pounds, so it's very trustworthy. That said, I am not aware of an adapter for it.

However, it is just 4 bolts holding the adapter piece to the back of the step. Something could probably be fabricated that would bolt onto this fairly easily and inexpensively. I'm not sure what that would do for the capacity and it would likely void the warranty, but it could technically be done.

If you didn't want to do that (which I would totally understand), you could use the Step for Curt Adjustable Channel Ball Mounts - Anti-Skid Surface # C45909 with the Replacement Shank # C45910 and the Replacement Pins/Clips # C45925. This would be a much beefier step set up than the Carr and it would allow for some adjustment as well. And it would actually be a little less expensive than the Carr step as well.

Are you wanting a step for easier access to a roof rack or something?
