The Grip Step receiver hitch step provides a convenient stepping surface on the front or rear of the vehicle. It installs using the receiver tube opening and can be attached or detached as needed. The shank fits most 2 in. x 2 in. receiver tube openings (may not be compatible with certain receiver adapters), and it has a 6 in. drop to give the step added clearance from the rear bumper or spare tire. It includes all necessary mounting hardware for attaching the step and comes with a hitch pin. Like the rest of our Grip Step line, this hitch step features a unique, expanded metal tread for superior traction in any type of weather, and a 7 in. x 2-1/2 in. rectangular design to offer reliable footing without any of the nonsense. It is built from a 5052-H32 aluminum alloy, making it exceptionally strong and putting rust in its place (NOTE: The shank for mounting this step is included but shipped separately).
