It’s a good step. It discourages people from parking as close as they would have. It does give additional protection to the rear bumper and it looks really nice. It’s a great, inexpensive, first upgrade.

Looks awesome and fit perfectly on my wife’s grand cherokee. She wanted something to keep the cars behind away from her bumper

Well packed. Perfect fit. Easy to install. Looks cool and beautiful and protected.

The one I received arrived very well packaged and free of any obvious damage to the shipping packaging. upon installing the product however it was instantly clear to me that for some reason It was uneven it seemed to slope towards the passenger side of my vehicle as can be seen in the photos I've included. It also seemed to angle further away from the car on the passenger side. I reported this through amazon and was asked if id like to receive a replacement. I decided for the sake of seeing if this was just the one i received or if it is a common thing I when ahead with this. after receiving the second one and installing it it was ever clear to me that this is an issue with multiple units as I have a smaller bumper guard similar to this that does not have this issue. Lastly it weighs nothing which is concerning to me considering the smaller step I have that I was intending to replace this with weighs more the both of the two I received combined. again not sure how much I trust this product to do anything its advertised to do but as long as your receive one that's not all weird like mine it does look good I guess.TLDR: The product seems good quality looks good alone however as soon as its installed if its messed up like the ones I received it looks bad and I was very surprised with how light weight it is and for that reason I do not know that I trust it. Personally I will be returning this because of the defects the two I received came with. Purchase at your own risk.

I had purchased a different hitch step and after an hour or so of trying to install I gave up. (I am a bit of a perfectionist.) This model was more expensive than the first one but well worth the price. Upon opening the box I found the step inside of a cloth full length bag. At the ends there were molded cardboard wrapped in stretch plastic. The step was in perfect condition. (No dents, scratches, not even a particle of dust.) It was very easy to install and I liked the included "rattle stop" that screwed into a threaded opening on the step itself and was tightened with a plastic wheel. This setup will make it easier to remove to use for a trailer hitch. The only imperfection I found was a slight wobble which was caused by my hitch on the truck and a very tiny wedge solved the problem. Did I mention that I am a bit of a perfectionist?

Bought this as a gift for a friend who needed a little extra protection from careless parallel parkers in the city -- folks bump into cars regularly, so he wanted something to protect the bumpers and paint on his VW Golf wagon. First, the hitch step installs in a jiffy -- just slip it into the 2" receiver (which he and I installed last summer) and slide the included lock pin through it and slip the (included) cotter pin through that. Tada! Done. Well ... you could also install the (included) anti-rattle contraption ... but, I'll be honest, it didn't work that well. (I would un wrapping the shank of the hitch with some electrical tape before inserting it into the receiver ... that took up most of the slack and at least muffled any noises ... then I installed the anti-rattle setup. Oh, and I got a locking pin for it, because ... well ... he'll be parking in the city, where anything that isn't locked will probably be stolen ... but that's optional, depending on where you live.Overall, the aluminum tube is pretty sturdy and good looking with an attractive semi-flat wrinkle finish, plus a durable-looking rubber pad that provides decent traction when stepping on it. The 36" version that I bought for him looks great on the back of his VW Golf wagon -- almost like it was designed for it. Its ruggedness really adds to the car, the black finish matches his white w/black trim VW, and the contours blend well with the shape of the car's back bumper cover. He (and I) are super pleased with the appearance.So, what could be better?First, it has plastic end caps. As others have commented, these aren't likely to last long. (Someone mentioned they've lost several of them). My friend hasn't lost his caps yet, but I warned him it's likely. I can't help but wonder: why didn't they just tack weld a couple aluminum disks to the end, so they wouldn't ever break or get lost? I get it that the plastic ones probably save the company a few pennies, but a couple small aluminum disks hardly seem expensive, and tacking them in place would take about 10 seconds per unit.Second, because the hitch step (which I prefer to refer to as a "bumper bumper") comes straight off the receiver, it actually sits below the bumper of most vehicles ... which isn't as ideal when someone gets too close to whatever vehicle it's installed in. I get it: this isn't strictly designed to prevent damage to one's bumper, but that's what a lot of people seem to buy them for ... especially in the longer 24" and 36" (like this one) sizes. So, in my ideal world, Go Rhino would have the tube sit atop the shank ... or maybe have a slight vertical riser welded to the shank and the bottom of the tube. (Fwiw, I tried to compensate for this by buying him a 4" riser adapter, but the problem with that was that it moved the hitch step/bumper bumper about 4" away from the bumper, which ... while good for helping protect the vehicle ... looked awkward and would make it harder for him to park. So, if Go Rhino made it rise up 2-4" without making it stick way out from the vehicle (unless someone wanted to, via extra mounting holes in the shank), that would be ideal.Other than those two nits that I've picked, it's really a great buy. Someone else pointed out in their review that theirs got hit and a bit mangled, because it's only a thin-walled tube. But if it gets mangled instead of the car's actual bumper, that's money well spent. Granted, to provide protection, it probably needs to be spaced away from the bumper an inch or more, which my friend didn't like as much (and I agree that, aesthetically, it looks better close to the bumper). But as others have pointed out, its mere presence seems to discourage others from getting too close to their vehicles, so maybe that will be the case for my friend, too.Overall, it's a good looking bumper bumper / hitch step and the price wasn't bad.Oh, one more thing: his is nice an level. Some folks complained about theirs being off by a degree or so, but the one I bought isn't. If it had been, I probably would have used a floor jack to try to "lift"/bend the low side up a bit ... but didn't have to worry about it.If I had a car that needed such protection -- or an actual step -- I'd definitely buy one of these again.

This product has a good finishing as described and shown in the pictures. I would like to see a thicker tube's thickness adjust to protect better my car's rear. In general happy with the material and product performance.

Whats not to like? It came in on time, perfect packaging...No scrapes/breaks/dents on unit.Came in nylon sleeve too, with the anti jiggle device, that i don't care about.It fit right inside my 2" hitch receiver, no issues, and my extended hitch receiver, no issues.Fit/finish and welds all solid, nice beads.Black paint all over, looks great.This provides some stand of distance for aggressive tailgaters and potential rear end hits, should protect my body from damage.Gonna be hell on someones legs if i back into them though...I plan to buy and install a bull bar from Go Rhino for the front as well.ps..the extended hitch config gives me place to sit as i slide on my waders and tie boots, or just sip a cold one on the side of the stream..There are less expensive units out there, but this is well worth the money.

アクセントにヒッチステップを購入しましたが、洗車後の荷台が拭き易いです。【ピックアップトラックで使用】サイズもちょうどいいしカッコイイと思います。

The hitch step is not only there to help access your roof rack, but in my case, helped protect my truck from serious damage in a recent rear-end accident. Great product. Helps enhance the look @ the back end of the vehicle.

Looks Good! perfect for my 2016 Ford Explorer. Only thing is... it is actually light. I am not sure how strong.The anti vibration doesnt work, I have to use my other stuff.
