Receiver hitches have to be built strong enough to tow trailers weighing hundreds to thousands of pounds. This strength and convenient access makes a hitch a versatile attachment point for bike and cargo carriers, bed rack extensions, and the hitch steps you see on this page. Our hitch steps will give you a boost to access the inside of a pickup bed or the roof rack on an SUV, and many can also do double duty as a rear bumper protector.
