Eapele Tow Hitch Step for 2” Receivers, Solid Steel Construction Rust Free Powder Coated, 10,000lbs Rated Tow Strap Capacity

Lightening fast shipping, great addition to my truck.

Very well built and well designed. A heavy, solid steel step that also acts as an excellent recovery point. It's solid and stable with no rattles using the supplied bracket kit which is also exceptionally heavy duty. The u bolt is quite thick and plate that stabilizes the hitch is about ¼" contoured steel. Finish seems good, though I suspect that based what it and where it's located periodic painting will be needed. (all hitches take a beating over time). And, it's unlikely anyone will be bumper tapping in the parking lots with this mounted. At least not without serious damage to their vehicle. I have it on a 2016 Sequoia and its perfect. Recommended. Update: the finish is garbage. Started rusting after the first rain. If you chose this, paint and clear coat it before installing. And I wouldn't trust it for any recovery efforts that push it close to its 10K max, light duty pulling should be ok.

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.

This step is heavy and solid. It fit perfectly in my aftermarket Draw-Tite Class III 2" hitch receiver. Out of the box the finish looked great and, besides being functional, it really dresses up my SUV. I debated on using the tightener. There was a slight movement without it, but within normal tolerances. I ended up adding it which also has the added benefit of making it a little harder to steal without using a wrench. My only complaint would be the lack of tread on both sides of the step. Also, at least in my case, using the tightener was impossible if you do flip it over. But, no doubt this step will outlast the vehicle you use it on.

As others have pointed out paint could be a little harder. They could've put grip on both sides of the step so it could be reversible I wish the hitch part was a little longer so it would protrude more from the rear of the vehicle. There's no reason for the square tube inserting into the hitch to be full because if it where hollow it would be possible to install an anti-rattle inside the tube as well as use the supplied ubolt-type one. Broke the bolts to the supplied ubolt-type anti-rattle and because of design choices it will be difficult to find a replacement that fits. Anti-rattle makes it harder to steal. Overall good purchase.
