Eapele Tow Hitch Step for 2 inch Receiver, Universal Anti Slip Bumper Guard，Strong Steel 10000lbs Maximum Load, for Trailer Tow Truck Pickup SUV Pickup Van RV

My “new” (to me) last year 22Toyota 4 runner got backed into in a parking lot. a few months after I got it… I was heartbroken and had to have it repaired - -what looked like just the back tail light and a little scratch ended up being almost the whole rear end & bumper as it’s mostly plastic, to a tune of almost $3000. I bought this hitch initially so I could reach my roof racks when I go to the beach. BUT ! Let me tell you this thing has saved me at least four times already from having to have my truck repaired. Three times already people have rear-ended me at lights and caused significant damage to their vehicles but none to mine granted nothing was high impact -but with people on their phones these days a small bump causes costly damage and even if it’s not your fault, you’re very inconvenienced. I LOVE ❤️ this thing it has protected my truck extremely well. And saved me bump or two backing up as well.. A little grease and it’s easily removed changed as need arises on my hitch. It’s solid as a rock and makes a wonderful step. I’ve had it on almost a year now and I see no rust or damage other than a few scratches where people have thrown their own cars against it. Great buy at a competitive price.

The step shaft fit the receiver hitch on my Tundra just fine. In order to get the U-bolt to grab squarley I had to use the second pin hole so the step went in far enough. With the U-bolt in place it is very solid. The paint was fine-no chips/rust/scratches. In order to remove the step you need to carry a 17mm wrench or ratchet. You can slip the U-bolt, with bracket and nuts, over the shaft before inserting it in the receiver hitch. It simplifies tightening the nuts. In order for someone to steal the step they'd have to have an appropriate wrench or ratchet. So, it's not impossible just time consuming. You can of course buy a locking pin if desired. The U-bolt should have come painted so as to not rust and match the step. It gives a real nice solid step from which you can swing your leg over the tailgate to get in the truck bed. The step bumper is just too narrow to do this safely. Someone referred to it as a Prius Spear-LOL.

My husband ordered this step for his 3/4 ton GMC P/U. The installation was very easy. The item is very sturdy. He is happy with the product. The description and pictures on the Amazon page were exact to what we received.

Looks great, haven’t bumped my leg into it like a tow hitch ball. Thought it came with a coating but it has started to show surface rust quickly. Not a problem just really appears like it’s already protected but it’s not. Step feels sturdy. Jumped on it and didn’t feel it wiggle at all. I’ll admit this step serves not only as a step but as a deterrent for people pulling up too close to my bumper and it’s doing a great job.

good quality, we'll built, you made need a hitch re eiver extension to get this step out far enough to be useful.

I love this thing! first off it protects the rear of the truck if somebody runs into the back of me in traffic or in a parking lot. Also you can hook a chain to it or a tow strap to flat tow somebody it's thick it's heavy you are not going to bend or Break It!! I like that I can see it in my rear view camera gives me a reference plus I have noticed people have been staying farther off my rear bumper at street lights lol. I installed it upside down so it was a little higher and you can't use the anti rattle plate like that the U-Bolt is not long enough which sucks but I don't hear it rattling much. The only thing they could do better is make the U-Bolt just a little bit longer. Love the Prius spear!!! Update just used this to pull another stuck truck that had a trailer about 10,000 pounds used a soft shackle to hook to this! it was awesome so much better than a ball you do not want to pull with a ball they can break and go flying so this is great for pulling people with chains or toe straps could no be happier!

This is a great step for a pickup truck. Comes in real handy when parking. Also great for getting to your roof rack. We call ours a Subaru Harpoon. One handy tool, super heavy duty, well made, might even puncture a radiator protecting your bumper. I love it!

This tow hitch is tough and heavy. It feels solid and well-made.
