This hitch step is great ...
I added this bumper-guard step, after my new car got rear-ended ("People, put down your cell phones, and JUST DRIVE ! "). I had just installed a hitch (for a bike rack, at times), so figured I'd add something to the hitch, that might add some 'protection'. I decided to add this bumper guard, hitch step. It doubles as a step, making it easier reach the roof. Handy, when it comes to SUV's. I looked at several models. This one had slightly raised traction stubs/bars, on BOTH the top and bottom sides (some others, only had it on one side) , allowing you to flip it to whichever side you want up. Flipping it, will raise/lower the top height about 1.5". You can also attach a recovery tow strap, if you ever need to. This thing is STOUT. It weighs about 15 lbs. Installing it, took a little force. It was super tight, going into a U-Haul type hitch (Draw-tite). I sprayed the end with silicone spray, and that helped. Some folks have said theirs fit too loose. With all the hitch brands out there, the 'fit' of this item is going to vary. It's to be expected, as hitch measurement tolerances are going to vary. So use some duck tape or shims, etc., or some lubricant spray ... to take care of it being too loose or too tight. Add a hitch tightener, if it helps. All, are cheap solutions. I chose this one, because it looked better ... as it's more rounded on the corners, less pointy. It already looks a bit ... 'unique', so I was looking for something that didn't look too weird. This fits the bill. I added some red tape strips around the outside edges, with a zip-tie to keep the tape from getting thrashed, at the car wash. I added a hitch pin lock, and a hitch tightener (tons of both, sold on Amazon). If a tank hit this thing, it would tear off the hitch, before loosening this hitch step. I mounted it to a dual hitch mount, which allows me to attach a trailer, or cargo basket down below (after removing my bumper-guard, first), and a bike rack up above. I added a chromed Skull hitch cover (and another hitch lock), to keep the upper hole covered, when not in use. Some reviewers complained of early rust. I have none. Even after several months of heavy rain. I'll spray it with a Rustoleum type paint, if/when it shows rust. Try this bumper guard hitch step, you'll like it ! It might take a few days for the overall appearance to grow on you, but then you'll realize how unique/cool it looks. And big-city folks ... this will keep other drivers off your rear bumper, when they're 'attempting' to park.

High quality and hefty
This thing is great. It is HEFTY and feels very high quality. I mean, it's probably 15-20 pounds. Seriously. I've had it for almost a year now, and it's holding up great, even after backing it into a cement wall at one point. Zero damage. (To the step, not the wall). The only minor adjustment I made was that the shaft was a little too narrow, leaving some wiggle room in the hitch receiver. I fixed this by wrapping one piece of black duct tape around the shaft before inserting it. It worked great, took up all the extra slack, and hasn't been an issue since.

Beefy
Very heavy duty. I got this because I’ve been bumped twice in gridlock traffic twice in the last year and I’m sick of it. I dropped this off at a Berliner application shop to be coated. I don’t find the coating it comes with to be up to my standards for future rust prevention. Included test fit photos 2024 Nissan Frontier.

Tow Ropes
I like the step hitch plus works good with tow ropes

Made solid! Fits a little loose inside receiver hitch tube.
It’s beefy and not overly obtrusive at the same time. It will definitely defend your back bumper from parking lot idiots and it is a very functional step for me. It is a completely solid piece of cast steel, even the receiver shank is solid. My one complaint is the fit, it floats around a bit too much which causes it to audibly knock around inside the receiver tube while driving around; you can hear it inside the cab with the windows closed. I used a roll of 3M furniture protector felt tape padding around the shank to eliminate the slack and the knocking noises.

Heavy and quite solid. Very pleased.
I agree with other reviewers that there is more play when inerted into the hitch. My Toyota 4Runner in no exception to that. I saw at least 3 reviewers that complained about the fit. However i used an approach i have used for other applications that easily tighte ed the fit by installing the hitch, inserting the locking pin, and while holding the step up so the gap is on the underside pound in the narrow edge of a wooden door shim int the gap until it goes as far as possible. Then press down on the shim breaking it off nearly flush to the bottom edge of the reciever. This will dramatically tighten the fit. When you need to change the hitch you can repeat the procedure. A pack of door shims is cheap and they will not scratch the steel. The shim insert will swell and shrink slightly with moist and dry climate but will easily be removed regardless. Because of this easy fix i give the heavy and sturdy design 5 stars. I also live in Minnesota so rust is to be expected and will give its appearance character.

TGL Hitch Step great alternative
I was looking for something to replace my ball hitch because I don't tow that often. I wanted something SOLID. The TGL Hitch Step fit the bill perfectly. It gives me the extra step, helps prevent rear end taps in the parking lot or me backing up LOL!!!, doesn't set off my rear sensors (2019 RAM) and looks good. Due note some things: It does fit loosely in your hitch. A lot of hitches do. This is a good thing, after all, you don't want it to rust solid in your hitch. To fix it, I added some monster tape and made it nice and quiet. Get yourself a new pin as well. A New hitch deserves a new pin.. Enjoy! It's a great replacement for those who want a little protection, something SOLID and good looks.

Multi purpose and tough
Well built hitch step. Recommend using a anti-rattle hitch clamp with this product to make it super solid.

Simplicity, Function and Strength
No nonsense, heavy step with nice, professional looking welds. Designed to quickly wrap a tow strap on to pull yourself or a buddy out of trouble and I'm sure the hitch receiver would be the limiting factor. Don't forget to add a hitch clamp as this puppy can be noisy over the bumps.

Holes don’t line up
Looks great, solid, heavy and fitted perfectly. However, sadly as many other uses have reported, it’s not much use when the holes don’t line up! I’m returning it and have ordered another. Hopefully I don’t get another duff one, why don’t they just check they’re ok before dispatching???

Very solid heavy duty step
Looks great! Very solid Heavy Duty step. Fit my 2024 F150 2”receiver perfectly. Only negative is that it is heavy. If the weight doesn’t bother you and you’re looking for a strong step this is definitely it.
