ARMORDILLO Foldable Rear Hitch Step 5" — Matte Black Steel, Non-Slip Tread

The Armordillo FD Series 5" Foldable Rear Hitch Step is a compact, heavy-duty fold-up access step that attaches to any 2" Class 3 trailer hitch to provide safe, non-slip entry to truck beds and rear cargo areas.

Built from powder-coated steel with a textured tread surface, this matte-black hitch step combines strength with a low-profile fold-away design so it’s ready when you need it and discreet when you don’t. Designed for 2" x 2" Class 3 hitch receivers (also fits some Class 4 and 5 2" receivers), the Armordillo FD Series step offers a secure foothold, quick plug-and-play installation, and a compact 5" stepping surface that won’t dominate your vehicle’s look.

How does the FD Series step make accessing the cargo area easier?

The step provides a stable platform to reach into pickup beds, SUVs, or vans without climbing on bumpers. Its textured tread improves grip in wet or muddy conditions, while a durable steel frame supports standing weight for quick, safe access.

• 5" wide stepping surface for concentrated, reliable footing
• High-traction tread pattern to reduce slips
• Rated for regular foot traffic and standing during load/unload tasks

Will this hitch step fit my vehicle’s receiver?

The Armordillo FD Series is engineered for standard 2" x 2" Class 3 hitch receivers and will also work with many 2" receivers on some Class 4 and 5 hitches. Check your vehicle’s hitch class and receiver size before purchase to ensure compatibility.

• Designed specifically for 2" x 2" Class 3 receivers
• Compatible with many 2" Class 4 and 5 receivers—verify receiver aperture size
• Includes installation hardware for a straightforward fit

How does the foldable design help daily use and parking?

The fold-up mechanism lets you tuck the step flush against the hitch when it’s not needed, preserving ground clearance and vehicle aesthetics. When you need a step, it folds down easily and locks into position to provide a steady platform.

• Low-profile fold-up design hides step when not in use
• Quick one-handed deployment for convenience
• Armordillo logo visible on the folded side for a finished look

What materials and finishes protect the step from wear?

Constructed from sturdy steel with a premium black powder coat, this hitch step resists rust, chipping, and corrosion from road salt and moisture. The finish prolongs service life and keeps the step looking clean under regular outdoor conditions.

• Durable steel construction for long-term strength
• Matte black premium powder coat to resist corrosion
• Treaded surface designed to withstand repeated use

Who is this for? The Armordillo FD Series 5" Foldable Rear Hitch Step is ideal for truck, SUV, and van owners who need reliable rear access without a bulky permanent step. It suits frequent haulers, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone who wants a discreet, sturdy stepping solution for 2" Class 3 (and many 2" Class 4/5) receiver-equipped vehicles. If you value quick installation, minimal visual impact, and a high-traction foothold for loading, cleaning, or retrieving cargo, this compact fold-away hitch step is a practical addition to your vehicle gear.
