Video Transcript for Review of Gen-Y Hitch Hitch Step - Serrated Hitch Mounted Step 2 Inch Receiver - GY79VR

Hi everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a brief look together at this Gen Y Hitch-Mounted Step. Now this hitch step is going to slide into your two inch trailer hitch receiver and it's going to give you quick and easy access to your vehicle's to truck bed, cargo area or roof rack. And the serrated, non-slip surface is going to give you a really nice strong grip to help prevent slipping. You could actually remove the mud off of your boots if you wanted to because of that serration.

It's very strong and it's gonna do a great job of cleaning off the bottom of your shoes, your boots. And what's nice is this has a really open design, so you're not gonna have to worry about debris or water getting trapped here on the top of that step. It's going to either fall through or drain through without any problems whatsoever. And this does have a weight capacity of 400 pounds. And let me go ahead and provide some measurements for you just so you have a good idea of how much space it's gonna be taking up the back of your vehicle.

So looking at the overall width, we are sitting right at 12 inches wide. And then the overall length from bottom to top, pretty close to 10 and one eighth inches long. And then the depth should be no surprise because of the two inch hitch receiver, but it's gonna be two inches deep. And then this is made here in the USA of a durable steel construction with a matte black powder coat. So this is going to hold up really well for you.

You're not gonna have to worry about this becoming easily scratched up. It's going to hold up to the elements really well. If you're at all familiar with Gen Y products, you know that they make products that are very well designed, very robust, and in my opinion, this is no exception to that. This is a another well designed product from them. I do wanna point out that a hitch pin and clip or a hitch lock, they are sold separately.

This does not include that. So if you do not already have a compatible hitch pin and clip, that is something you would have to pick up separately. However, this is basically an investment that you're making. This is a quality product that you are purchasing. So I would recommend taking a look at our hitch lock options that we have hereat etrailer.com, just so you can secure this investment to the back of your vehicle. You're not gonna have to worry about it, and it will always be back there ready for you when you need a a little bit of assistance getting something on the top of your vehicle or getting into the bed of your truck. Well, I think that's going to wrap up our real quick look today. I do hope that our time together was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy, thank you for joining me.

Low profile and very sturdy hitch step.



by:

It fit very well and the price was the best that I could find



by:

Perfect fit! There are two positions, one a couple of inches further out. Since I was looking for one that holds a heavier weight (this takes 400 lbs), I decide not to keep it further out. But positioned fully inward works well and it ends where my spare tire ends on the back door of my camper. Also, I use the locking hitch pin to prevent theft, It uses the same key as my Jeep, and is another great product from etrailer.

  • Solution for Hitch Step for Truck With B&W Adjustable Ball Mount
    A hitch step like the Curt # C45909 is designed to fit inside of a channel. The design of a B&W ball mount like the # BWTS20049B would require a step that fit around the outside. Unfortunately, there are no options to add a step to the B&W. However, you could use a step like the Gen-Y # GY79VR. The only thing this would lack is the ability to adjust the height. The only other option would be to switch ball mounts completely and use one like the # C45900 which would allow you to use the...

  • Is There a Hitch Step for the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount - MultiPro
    In regards to the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount - MultiPro part # BW49FR, there isn't any sort of step attachment. That said, if I were you and I needed some help getting in the bed I would simply rotate the hitch balls so that the side without a ball attached is facing up. This, combined with the ball platform section would provide a nice spot for your foot to rest. It's also height adjustable using the built-in rise/drop feature of the ball mount. If you're after a ball mount with an...

  • Did Gen-Y Change The Name Cut Into the End Of The Serrated Hitch Mounted Step # GY79VR?
    Sorry, David. I went into our warehouse and verified the inventory we have does have Gen-Y cut into the end rather than REBEL on the Step # GY79VR. I have sent in an update to have this corrected on the website. It turns out Gen-Y changed the step when they discontinued the REBEL line of products they carry.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 1979 F-150 Lifted 9" With 38" Tires
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13099 will fit your 1979 Ford F-150 with the deep drop rear bumper. This receiver is a class III rated for towing up to 6,000lbs of trailer weight with up to 600lbs of tongue weight.
