WeatherTech BumpStep XL 24" Hitch Step for 2" Receiver — Plated Hardware, Non-Slip 300 lb Capacity

The WeatherTech BumpStep XL is a heavy-duty 24-inch hitch step that mounts into a standard 2" receiver to protect your rear bumper and give you a stable platform for reaching roof racks and rooftop gear.

Made in the USA and built to withstand everyday use, the BumpStep XL combines bumper protection with a secure, non-slip step surface. It installs in any vehicle with a 2" receiver and uses plated hardware for a corrosion-resistant attachment. Whether you need to access a roof box, load a kayak, or avoid bumper dents from low-speed impacts, this hitch-mounted step offers a versatile, durable solution.

How does the BumpStep XL protect my vehicle from rear-end damage?

The BumpStep XL sits behind the rear bumper in-line with your vehicle’s frame, absorbing impacts that would otherwise reach the bumper cover. Its sturdy construction disperses force and prevents cosmetic dents and scratches in many low-speed situations without altering vehicle sensors or paint.

• Mounts into a 2" receiver, aligning with the frame to take impact load.
• Thick, engineered-steel body disperses collision force away from bumper skin.
• Plated hardware resists rust so protection lasts through seasons.
• 24" width covers more of the bumper area than smaller steps.

Can I use the BumpStep XL as a working step to reach roof accessories?

Yes. The BumpStep XL doubles as a practical step with a textured, non-slip surface that supports up to 300 lb, so you can safely reach roof racks, tie down cargo, or clean the roof. It offers better balance and footing than standing on the bumper or a small ladder for routine tasks.

• 24-inch platform provides space for two-foot positioning.
• Textured top resists slipping in wet or snowy conditions.
• Rated for up to 300 lb for steady, secure use.
• Easy entry and exit—no need to climb on the bumper or tailgate.

What vehicles and hitch sizes are compatible with this step?

The BumpStep XL is designed specifically for vehicles equipped with a standard 2" receiver hitch. It fits most trucks, SUVs, and some crossovers that accept class II or higher 2" receivers. Check your receiver opening and clearance behind the bumper before ordering to ensure proper fit and operation.

• Compatible with standard 2" (class II or larger) receiver hitches.
• Easy to install on most trucks and SUVs with sufficient rear clearance.
• Plated hardware included for secure attachment and corrosion resistance.
• Confirm receiver and bumper distance to avoid interference.

How durable and weather-resistant is the BumpStep XL?

Constructed for real-world use, the BumpStep XL uses rugged materials and plated fasteners to resist rust and wear. It’s engineered to hold up under repeated stepping, loading, and minor impacts while remaining functional across seasons. Regular cleaning and inspection will keep it performing like new for years.

• Built from heavy-gauge steel for long-term durability.
• Plated hardware prevents corrosion in wet climates.
• Textured step surface resists wear and maintains traction.
• Proudly manufactured in the USA to high-quality standards.

Who is this for? The WeatherTech BumpStep XL is ideal for truck and SUV owners who want a dual-purpose accessory that shields the rear bumper from low-speed contact while providing a safe, wide step to access roof cargo and rooftop equipment. It’s a good choice for outdoor enthusiasts, contractors, families loading gear, and anyone who frequently uses roof-mounted accessories and wants reliable, American-made construction.
