• Lighted Hitch Step Recommendation for 2017 Honda CR-V
• For the 2 inch hitch you have installed on your 2017 Honda CR-V like the part # 76128 the hitch step part # CR-600LED that you referenced would fit and work great. To use the LED features you would need trailer wiring like part # 118741 installed as well though.

• Hitch Step That Does Not Extend Out For 2 Inch Hitch
• There is one option for a hitch step for your 2 inch hitch that won't extend out much past the bumper, and that's with a hitch step that flips up (and down), from Carr: - Carr Hitch Mounted Step for 2" Trailer Hitches - Black # CARR183252 or Reflective Finish # CARR183012 All of the other steps are going to protrude out a good distance from your 2 inch hitch, but since the step on this flips up and down, it won't stick way out will be the closest to the rear of your Tucson. You'll also...

• Recommended Hitch Mounted Pickup Step Usable with Tailgate Down
• The HitchMate TruckStep Extendable, Hitch Mounted Step for 2" Hitches - 9" x 6" - 500 lbs # HE4045 is the only extendable step we carry that reaches that far. We do have hitch extenders that have the step for that same purpose like the Brophy Hitch Extender with Step for 2" Trailer Hitch Receivers 18" # ST18 or the Brophy Hitch Extender with Step - 2" Hitches - 19" Long - 6-1/2" x 17" Platform # ST12 (14inch extension). These won't extend quite as far out from the tailgate to give you...

• Hitch and Hitch Step Recommendation for 2015 Honda Fit
• The hitches offered for the 2015 Honda Fit are all Class I with a 1-1/4" opening like the Draw-Tite, # 24920. A 2" hitch is not available for the Fit. The WeatherTech BumpStep Hitch-Mounted Bumper Protector and Step, # WT81BS1, is designed for use with the 2" hitch so this step will not work with the hitch receivers available for your Honda Fit. My recommendation would be to go with a similar step like the Tube Stainless Steel Trailer Hitch Receiver Step, # CR-605. The overall width...

• Recommended Hitch Step for Class III 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver
• For a hitch step compatible with your Class III trailer hitch receiver, I recommend the Bully Black Bull Hitch-Mounted Step for 2" Hitches # BBS-1102. This step is made of heavy duty steel with a matte black powder coat finish to resist rust and give a clean look. It has an integrated hitch stabilizer to keep the step from rattling. It is a simple installation with a standard 5/8 inch pin and clip or you can use a hitch lock like # e98880 to help deter theft.

• Hitch Step Recommendation with Step Lower than Hitch Tube
• I believe we have just what you are looking for. Check out the Brophy Hitch Step part # RHS2. This actually has two steps. One lower than the hitch shank and one that sits above it. This would not require any hitch adapters to get a step lower than the hitch tube. For a locking hitch pin we have the part # e98880 which would work well.

• How to Use a Hitch Step in a 2-1/2 Inch Trailer Hitch
• I have a solution for you but there are not hitch steps that have a drop and fit a 2-1/2 inch hitch. First you will need a reducer sleeve such as # C45405. Then you could use hitch step # RHS2 which is 2 steps with the first step with a drop below the hitch receiver. None of the other steps really have a drop with the exception of # HE4045 or # HE4037.

• Recommended Bed Step For 2017 Ford F-350
• For your bed step, I recommend the HitchMate TruckStep Extendable, Hitch Mounted Step for 2" Hitches - 9" x 6" - 500 lbs # HE4045. This mounts into your trailer hitch receiver and gives you an adjustable step to use when the tail gate is open or closed. There is a slightly larger version # HE4037. For a side step, I recommend the Bestop TrekStep - Rear Mounted Truck Step , made of Aluminum , for the passenger side, Item # B7531215 and/or the Bestop TrekStep - Side Mounted Truck Step,...

• Recommended HitchMate TruckStep Extendable Hitch Mount Step for Toyota Tacoma
• The HitchMate TruckStep Extendable Hitch Mounted Step # HE4045 referenced in your question extends an additional 12-1/2 inches from its original position, but this will give you a total distance of 18 inches to the end of the of the step from the hitch receiver. If you measured 14 inches from the opening of your hitch to the edge of the open tailgate, almost all of the step platform will completely clear the tailgate when extended. The step platform features a depth of right at 5-1/2 inches....

• Bumper Step Recommendation for 2014 Ram 3500
• Assuming that your 2014 Dodge Ram is equipped with a 2 inch hitch, I recommend going with the Bully Black Bull Hitch Step, # BBS-1102. This step measures 5 inches from the hitch pin hole to the nearest portion of the step. If your Ram is equipped with a 2-1/2 inch receiver, you will need to use the Curt Reducer Sleeve, # C45405, to reduce the size of your receiver opening to 2 inches since there are no hitch steps available for the 2-1/2 inch hitch receiver. I have attached a link to...

• Using WeatherTech Hitch Step with 2-1/2 Inch Hitch Receiver
• You can indeed use the WeatherTech BumpStep Hitch-Mounted Protector and Step # WT81BS1 with your 2-1/2 inch hitch using a reducer sleeve like the Curt # C45405. The hitch step does not include a hitch pin/bolt but this can be added with a standard pin and clip like # PC3 or a locking pin like our # e98880. The hitch step will still be able to attach securely to the reducer sleeve so that you have a solid platform to step up on. I have attached a short video demonstration on this product...

• Do Hitches for 2021 Mercedes Benz 2500 Sit Lower if Step Bumper is Present
• The hitches that fit the 2021 Mercedes Benz Sprinter 2500 with the step bumpers like part # 75601 do sit lower than the vehicles that do not have the step bumper like part # 75549. If you check out the two picture I attached you can see that the hitches fit right up to the bottom of the rear bumper and if the step is there the hitch sits the width of the step down from that point.

• Widest Hitch-Mounted Steps For 2 Inch Trailer Hitch
• We do have a couple options you may be interested in for a wider hitch mounted step. First, I recommend the Carr Mega Step Fold-Up Step, part # CARR190011. This is a 14 inch wide fold-up step that has a weight capacity of 500 lbs. This step folds up when you travel and has a large 14 inch x 5 inch non-skid platform, and will fit a 2 inch receiver opening. The second step you may want to take a look at is the PortablePET Twistep Hitch Mounted Step, part # HE3052. This step has a platform...

• Recommended Hitch Step To Get In Truck Bed Camper Installed In 20118 Ram 2500 Short Bed
• That will really depend on how long you are needing the step to be. All of the hitch steps we offer are designed for 2" receivers, so to be able to use one of these with the 2-1/2" receiver on your 2018 Ram 2500 I first recommend the Brophy Hitch Reducer and Extender # HR26 which will give you an extra 7" of extension. This extension has a max tongue weight capacity of 500lbs or reduces the capacities of your hitch by 1/3rd, which ever is lower but since your truck is a 2500 you should...

• Hitch Step Recommendation for a 1-1/4 inch Hitch
• The Pilot Hitch Step part # CR-605 has been confirmed to fit 1-1/4 inch hitches and isn't quite as pricey as the # HE3052 that you also referenced. The # CARR190011 is only designed to fit 2 inch hitches.

• Truck Bed Step for 2008 Ford F150 Usable With Tailgate Open
• Anytime a hitch extender of any kind is used, the tongue weight capacity of the hitch (the amount of downward force that can safely be applied to the hitch) is cut in half. The further away from the hitch a load is moved, the more leverage is applied to the hitch. If this distance and weight applied becomes large enough, the extender, hitch accessory and the hitch can be damaged. In my opinion, the best step option for when the tailgate is down would be the Bestop TrekStep, part # B75302....

This will slide into a 2 inch trailer hitch and provide a large, sturdy step to allow for quick and easy access to your truck bed.

• Are the Hitches for a 2007 Dodge Sprinter with Standard and Step Bumper the Same
• The trailer hitch options for a 2007 Dodge Sprinter are different for models with the factory step bumper and models with the standard bumper. The two are not interchangeable so if you have the factory step bumper then you'll need the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 13358 or if you have the standard bumper then you'll need the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13388.

• Hitch Mounted Step Recommendation for Helping Pets Get In and Out of Vehicle
• We have hitch steps that are designed for pets that attach to trailer hitches like the Portable PET Twistep Hitch Step part # HE3052 but without knowing what vehicle you have it's hard to give you a step bar type recommendation. I attached a review video for the Pet Step for you to check out.
