I confirmed with the engineers at Curt that even though it is physically doable to mount the step on the Curt Grip Step # C25KR upside down on the mounting bracket in order to get a rise on your 2021 Toyota Tacoma, it has not been tested for that specific application. It is unknown whether that setup will be able to have the same 350 pound weight capacity.
However, for a more economical option that will definitely work, I recommend the Hitch Stair with 2 Steps for 2" Trailer Hitches #... view full answer...
The HitchMate TruckStep Extendable Hitch Mounted Step # HE4045 referenced in your question actually features a corrosion-resistant yellow zinc plating on the support bar. This was designed specifically so that rust and corrosion won't cause damage to the step unit over time.
I have attached a short video demonstration on this hitch-mounted step so you can get a closer look at its features and see exactly how it works. view full answer...
The Curt Grip Step Trailer Hitch Mounted Step for 2" Trailer Hitches # C25KR will be solid and stable enough to stand on, but there will be a little play in the hitch receiver due to built-in tolerances (which is normal for hitch products).
To eliminate this you just need the Malone Anti-Rattle HitchLock System # MPG908 which essentially clamps the shank part of the step to the hitch receiver and keeps it from moving around. view full answer...
The B&W Class V trailer hitch receiver you referenced, their part # BWHDRH25122, is not a correct fit for your 1997 Chevy K1500 step-side pickup with factory step bumper. This hitch is intended for the cab-and-chassis version of your truck. But we do have a B&W fit for you.
Hitch # BWHDRH25124 will fit your truck and the hitch cross tube will be largely hidden by the step bumper itself.
This hitch offers bolt-on installation - no welding - and includes all required grade 8 hardware. view full answer...
The reason the etrailer hitch part # e98909 requires the removal of the factory crossmember/hitch is because it basically replaces it. view full answer...
We have a set of Torklift Camper Tie Downs that fit your exact configuration of 2019 Ram 3500 long be with factory electric steps and factory hitch with the part numbers # TLD2140 for the front and # TLD3112 for the rear but the # TLR3510 is only the correct rear fit for if you had a Torklift hitch installed. If you had the Torklift hitch though this would fit and would still allow the step to function like normal without requiring you to remove it. view full answer...
You are correct. If you wanted to remove the hitch brackets of the Carr Mega Step Fold-Up Step # CARR190011 so that you could use the 4 outside mounting holes of the step you definitely could.
It would just be a matter of selecting the correct install hardware for you application. view full answer...
I will be happy to explain the installation of Curt trailer hitch # 13266 for your 2008 Volvo XC70. I have also linked the instructions and a video showing an example installation for you.
Step 1
Remove rear bumper fascia. Disconnect back-up sensor wiring if present. Remove (2) fasteners with a T20 Torx bit from the rear of the vehicle. Note: Some models may require removal of (4) fasteners.
Then open the rear hatch and remove two rubber hatch stops.
Next remove the 4 or 5 screws (each... view full answer...
Your 2006 Dodge Sprinter with 118 inch wheelbase and step bumper should look like the one in the picture I have included. The hitch does fit models with the factory step bumper. You will not have to modify the vehicle at all to install the hitch. The only special step is to snap off a corner of the included spacer plates (for models with step bumper only). The plates are designed for this. I have included a link to the instructions and a link to a video showing installation for you. The... view full answer...
The Curt hitch part # C13155 is the correct hitch for your 2013 Mercedes GLK 250.
If you check out the install instructions link I attached you can see the entire process step by step with full color pictures and descriptions. The install is pretty straightforward like most trailer hitch installs are. There really aren't any special steps required to install the hitch. view full answer...
You do not have to remove the tailgate on your 1997 Ford F-150 to use the Brophy Hitch Stair, # RHS2. If you keep the tailgate down you will not be able to use the top step because it will be covered by the tailgate, but you can still use the lower step.
If you are worried about the tailgate hitting the top step when it is down, you will want to measure the distance between your tailgate and the top of your trailer hitch receiver when the tailgate is down. As long as you have more than... view full answer...
Yes, you can use the PortablePET Twistep Hitch Mounted Step part # HE3052 to help load a cargo box on the roof of your vehicle. You may also be interested in loading the cargo box from the side of the vehicle with the Rightline Gear Moki Door Step part # RL100660 as well. view full answer...
No, you don't have to remove the hitch extender and step # RP11006 when not towing it you don't want to. The only exception is if your state or local laws prohibit leaving accessories in the hitch when not in use. New York comes to mind. view full answer...
That's a good question, and what you will need is a 1-1/8" (1.125") step drill bit as that's the dimension you'll need to enlarge the center holes in the frame of your 2014 Subaru Forester to install the etrailer hitch that fits:
- etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98839
I also wanted to mention, in case you planned on doing some towing with your '14 Forester and needed a 4-way wiring harness, the correct fit for your vehicle is the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118467. view full answer...
The Curt hitch item # 13358 is a confirmed fit for your 2016 Mercedes Benz Sprinter 2500 Model 170 with OEM bumper step. The spare tire can be reinstalled after installation and removed when needed without any issues related to the Curt hitch item # 13358. I have attached a picture that demonstrates the hitch receiver installed on a 2016 Sprinter Van with the spare tire in place. view full answer...
The fully-assembled PortablePET Twistep Hitch Mounted Step # HE3052 that you referenced does have a storage position under the bumper to help prevent bumps and bruises to the shins. Since the anti-slip step pad surface measures a substantial 22-inches wide x 19-inches deep it is a handy option to store it out of the way when not in use. The linked video demonstrates.
However, if your application is such that the potential for bumps to the shins is not a concern you could leave the step... view full answer...
The CURT Step Bumper Trailer Hitch, # E-3S, comes with some square spacers, part 5 in the instructions linked for you, just in case the bumper does have that protrusion on the underside of the bumper. These spacers are 1/4 inches thick. If you are using these and still have 1/8 of a gap, a slightly thicker spacer can be used as long as you make sure to tighten the bolts as specified in the instructions. view full answer...
Good question. Hitching up to the Dexter Brake Actuator # T63FR is a little different than most couplers, but it pretty easy once you have the steps layed out.
Step 1: Remove safety pin (pictured)
Step 2: Lift latch
Step 3: Lower coupler onto ball
Step 4: Close latch
Step 5: Reinsert safety pin
Step 6: Go forth and have fun
I included a review video we have with this coupler and if you jump to the 1 minute 45 second mark, he shows this as well. Hope this helps! view full answer...
Lowering exhaust is a pretty standard installation step for a trailer hitch. However, the hitch part # 306-X7152 that has been confirmed as a fit for your 2010 Toyota RAV4 does not require this step. I confirmed this by checking the install instructions which I have linked. view full answer...
On the Swagman Chinook # S64683, you will not be able to attach 2 step-thru bikes without an adapter bar like the SportRack Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Women's and Alternative Frame Bikes # SR0500.
However, if you are looking for a 2-bike rack that doesn't require a bike frame adapter bar, I recommend the Saris Freedom 2 # SA4412B. The cradles on the Saris Freedom 2 are individually adjustable so they will fit your step-thru style frames. Also, the Freedom 2 has an increased per-bike weight... view full answer...
