Eapele Hitch Step for 2" Receiver — 600 lb Heavy-Duty Anti-Slip Bumper Step, Powder-Coated Steel

The Eapele Hitch Step is a heavy-duty, anti-slip step that mounts to a 2-inch receiver to give safer, easier rear access with a 600 lb load capacity.

Designed for trucks, SUVs, vans and RVs with a 2-inch trailer hitch, this hitch-mounted step turns your receiver into a stable platform for climbing into beds, accessing roof racks, or loading gear. Built from 8-gauge solid steel and finished with a weatherproof powder coat, the step resists corrosion and stands up to regular use while the non-slip plastic cover protects painted surfaces and provides traction.

How does the Eapele hitch step make rear access easier?

By inserting into a standard 2" receiver, the step places a low, stable foothold at the vehicle’s rear, reducing awkward climbs and enabling safer loading and unloading. The wide platform and textured cover give reliable footing even when wet.

• 15.3" long x 10.5" wide platform for comfortable foot placement
• 2.5" overall height keeps step low and stable
• Ridges on the plastic cover increase traction in wet conditions
• Includes hitch pin and clip for straightforward installation

Will this step fit my vehicle’s trailer hitch?

The Eapele hitch step is made to work with 2" square receivers, the most common size on light trucks, SUVs, and many RVs. It slides into the receiver and secures with the included pin and clip, though some users add simple shims to eliminate play and rattle.

• Compatible with standard 2" x 2" hitch receivers
• Works on trucks, SUVs, vans, RVs and many tow-ready vehicles
• Hitch pin and clip included — no extra hardware required
• Can be stabilized with rubber pads or tape if minor movement occurs

How durable and safe is the Eapele hitch step?

Constructed from thick 8GA steel and finished with a powder coat, the step is made to resist rust and handle heavy everyday use. The molded plastic cover prevents scratches to vehicle paint and provides a non-skid surface to reduce slips.

• 8-gauge solid steel frame rated to a 600 lb maximum load
• Weatherproof powder-coat finish for corrosion resistance
• Non-scratch plastic cover with raised ridges for grip
• Low-profile design reduces snagging and interference when driving

What do I need to know before installing and using it?

Installation is simple: slide into the receiver and secure with the supplied pin and clip. If you notice noise or slight movement, adding thin rubber strips or tape between the shank and receiver will reduce rattle without tools.

• Slide shank into a 2" receiver and insert the supplied pin and clip
• Confirm secure fit before stepping on the platform
• Consider rubber pads or tape to prevent minor rattling
• Keep the plastic cover clean of debris to maintain traction

Who is this for: The Eapele Hitch Step suits owners of pickups, SUVs, vans and RVs who want a durable, easy-to-install foothold for rear access, loading, and roof-rack reach. It’s a practical upgrade for tradespeople, outdoor enthusiasts, and families who need safer cargo handling, and for anyone seeking a rust-resistant, high-capacity step that won’t scratch vehicle paint.
