  • 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...

  • Finding Bumper Guards and Hitch Steps at etrailer
  • Most of our bumper guards like the Bully Black Bull Hitch-Mounted Step for 2" Hitches # BBS-1102 are labelled as "hitch steps" since that is usually their primary function and bumper guard is a nice extra feature. Not all hitch steps are bumper guards though. They can be found in our towing catalog under accessories and hitch covers. We have some fun options in that category, from the Hitch Stair # RHS2 if you want TWO steps to the WeatherTech BumpStepXL for extra bumper protection. For...

  • 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...

  • Hitch for Use On 2017 Ram ProMaster 3500 With Rear Step Mounted
  • Thank you for the picture. Unfortunately, there isn't going to be a hitch for the 2017 Ram ProMaster 3500 that is compatible with that step. Even something like the Draw-Tite # 75882 which hangs down a little bit further than the Curt # C13295 is going to have the receiver blocked slightly by the step on the rear of your ProMaster. What you could do is remove the rear step and replace it with a hitch mounted step like the WeatherTech BumpStep Hitch-Mounted Bumper Protector and Step for...

  • 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.

  • Distance WeatherTech BumpStep Hitch-Mounted Bumper Protector and Step # WT81BS1 Extends from Hitch
  • Since you are looking for a step that can be used with your tailgate down, I recommend taking a look at the HitchMate Extendable TruckStep, # HE4045. This step was designed for that specific purpose and offers a support strut that extends step platform up to 23-1/2" from your receiver opening. Check out the picture that I have attached. As for the WeatherTech BumpStep Hitch-Mounted Bumper Protector and Step, # WT81BS1, that you referenced, this measures 9-1/2" from the center of the last...

  • 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.

  • Can the Hitch Stair with 2 Steps for 2" Trailer Hitches Be Flipped Upside Down
  • I have attached for you some dimensions of the Hitch Stair with 2 Steps for 2" Trailer Hitches part # RHS2 that you can then use to determine if it will work on your 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 in the fashion that you described. That said, the step can indeed be flipped upside down but whether or not you would be able to use a closer hitch pin hole and clear your bumper/tailgate is not something I would be able to confirm. If your main concern is storage while not in use you might like the...

  • 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,...

  • Will the Pilot Automotive Hitch Step # CR-600LED Clear the Open Tailgate of 2004 Ford F350
  • When fully extended, the Pilot Automotive Round Tube Hitch Step # CR-600LED measures 9 inches in length, measured from the hitch pin hole to the furthest edge of the step. To determine if the step will clear your tail gate, measure 9 inches rearward from the hitch pin hole in your receiver. If you find that this hitch step is not long enough, then I recommend taking a look at the Heininger HitchMate Extendable TruckStep, # HE4045. This hitch step can extend up to 23-1/2 inches away from...

  • 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.

  • Will the Bestop TrekStep Truck Bumper Step Work With Dual Exhaust 2015 Ram 1500
  • If the dual exhaust pipes on your 2015 Ram 1500 exit before the rear tires or through the bed then the Bestop TrekStep Truck Bumper Step part # B75306 will work well for you. However, if your exhaust pipes exit behind the rear tires or under the bumper then the TrekStep will not work for you. The only truck bed step option we have for vehicles with dual exhaust that exit behind the rear tires or under the bumper is the Bully Black Bull Hitch-Mounted Step part # BBS-1102. If you do not...
