This is the second bar that I bought. Initial one saved me from a rear end accident but was bent and could not be used. Sturdy, well made and provides bumper protection on NYC street parking.

First, Amazon shows the product size under technical information to be "30 x 20 x 9 inches". This is absolutely wrong. This is the size of the shipping container--not the bump step ("Hitch Armor"). As shown in one of the technical drawings/diagrams on the Amazon website, the bump step is actually about 26 x13 x 6 inch. This was further confirmed to be accurate from Tyger Auto's customer service organization, which was actually superb (see below).This item is competitively priced with products from other manufacturers/dealers--including the best-advertised and best-selling bump step. HOWEVER, unlike the best-advertised and best-selling bump step, this bump step is all powder coated steel--not plastic. As standard equipment, this manufacturer supplies powder coated steel stabilizing parts and a lock also powder coated. First and foremost, all top quality construction even though there is a problem with the lock (see below), which forced me to use a very reliable 30-year-old-American-made lock from Fuller. Installation was easy for the bump step and the stabilizing parts. With the bump step, stabilizing parts, and the Fuller lock all installed, everything is rock solid and dead quiet during driving. Here is the problem with the Tyger Auto lock. My brand new SUV has an SUV-manufactured and SUV-installed trailer hitch. In other words, all OEM--no ifs, ands, or buts. Each side of the 2" receiver/receiving tube/sleeve is reinforced by the SUV maker with a welded plate about 3/32" - 1/8" thick. Because of the reinforcements and the Tyger Auto supplied lock's straight 5/8" shaft/pin is only 3-1/2" long, the locking mechanism cannot fully seat and cannot be engaged--making the Tyger Auto supplied lock useless for my vehicle. Tyger Auto does not supply a lock with a longer shaft/pin. Therefore, my Fuller lock with its 5"+ shaft/pin does the trick. Finally, the customer service support via the website's dialog box worked superbly. With questions from me about the lock and also needing some clarification on the size of the product and installation, Tyger Auto got back to me in hours with practical and easy-to-understand information. Top notch customer service!

Super durable and very sturdy bumper step. This step is super easy to put together and a really stylish upgrade. It fits my 2021 F-150 perfectly.

Was looking for something to keep vehicle protected in case of a rear end collision. Before I had a chance to decide, my truck was rear ended by a distracted driver while I was sitting at a traffic light...not a good feeling. Bumper damaged, insurance repaired no fault or cost to me. If I had this in place, bumper would not have been touched, majority of hit was in my hitch receiver area. This product matches my front bull bar nicely. Fit and finish are excellent...nice clean welds, sits square, tube bends are symmetrical, textured finish is clean and perfect...feels heavy and strong. Very well packaged as well. Due to road salt use, I coated mine in Krown rustproofing spray and greased the draw bar portion to prevent seizing. Will be using this year round of course. Of all the products I researched, I highly recommend this one. Hopefully will not experience a rear end impact again...once was one too many for anybody. Depending who hits you and what they are driving, I can see heavy damage to their vehicle as a result. My thought on that...if you are not paying attention at the wheel, you deserve what you get from impacting this well built unit!!!

Looks great and super easy to install. It even comes with a lock and stabilizer which helps keep the jiggle down

Very impressed with the solid quality of this step. Powder coated to withstand rust. Sturdy mounting to the truck. I can stand on it to reach above and will offer good protection from any inattentive drivers coming too close.Happy I noticed this Tyger hitch step, almost bought something made in China. These China made products sometimes look good in photos but rarely stand up to quality made products made in the US (or Canada if I could find one).I would highly recommend this to anyone who appreciates good quality. It’s worth every cent I paid and to think the China made option was just as expensive.

This is my third rear bumper guard on my Honda Ridgeline. My first two were GoRhinos and both saved my truck from potentially serious rear end collisions in parking lots. The GRs are good for one maybe two serious bangs, then they get bent down and need to be replaced. The Tyger bumper guard is a bit more expensive, but seems to be a step up in quality. The design with a center post is better than the GRs and you get a good receiver lock for the whole assembly. All the mounting brackets and screws are good quality and the whole business goes together fine. Assembly time was about 60 minutes; most of the time spent adjusting and fiddling with the noise reduction assembly (I actually reversed the way they recommend). The final assembly fit tight (no rattles) and was squared to the bumper. Feels very sturdy. I highly recommend that you use a rear bumper guard in order to keep the idiots off your bumpers and away from your rear gate. Particularly, if you live in the big city where everyone hits-and-runs. They are cheap and easy to replace compared to the damage they prevent, particularly in new trucks that have bumpers full of sensors.

This is an easy install and the included bracket removes any movement. The added locking pin ensures it is not easily removed. Powder coating seems of decent quality however given southern Ontario's winter use of brine and salt before I installed the guard I spent sometime spraying the inside (as best I could) with Krown rust protection spray and coated the exterior with wax. While it functions extremely well (I can access the roof of the 4Runner for cleaning/securing items) it is intended to protect the bumper from the texters and inattentive drivers.

For my 2018 4Runner TRD Off Road. I'll have to cut some off the end to make the fit closer to the vehicle, the spare tire prevents a closer fit. I guess I'll be doing that this weekend, yay! Installation obviously was a breeze, under 2 minutes in total. I think it took me 5 minutes to remove all packaging. It's hefty, solid, looks bold, looks great and definitely functional. I'm very happy with this purchase.------------------UPDATE-------------Changed to "2" STARS5 months later I see rust on the bottom surface...under close inspection rust is coming from the 2 weep holes on the underside. I will contact Customer Service Warranty Claim and see how this claim process goes.The claim process is easy and customer service reps super nice. Gave them 4 stars because until I know it won't rust again I can't leave 5 stars. If I can leave 4.5 I would. Still love this product!
