WeatherTech BumpStep is a functional accessory that installs into a vehicle’s hitch receiver. It fits towing setups with a 2-inch diameter. It performs several important tasks: serves as an auxiliary step and protects the bumper from rear-end impacts. Made from steel, it is strong and load-resistant. The step itself features a convenient 12-inch wide footrest. It can support a maximum weight of up to 300 pounds. The top surface has a textured, non-slip rubber coating. Installation is quick, using pins that provide extra stability. A lock can be added to the pin to prevent theft of the step.
