Nilight Step Hitch 2" Receiver Bolt-On Bumper Mount — 5,000 lb Capacity, Powder-Coated Steel

This steel bumper-mounted hitch gives trucks and SUVs a lower, level towing point without welding. Finished in black powder coat for corrosion resistance and built with thick welds, the unit bolts to the underside of most step bumpers using slotted mounting holes spaced 8 inches on center. It accepts any standard 2" accessory to expand hauling and towing options while keeping installation straightforward.

How does this hitch fit my truck’s step bumper?

The Nilight step hitch is designed for bolt-on installation to most step bumpers and uses slotted mounting holes to adapt to slightly different bumper widths. It mounts beneath the bumper so the hitch sits lower, helping trailers tow level with the vehicle.

• Slotted mounting holes spaced 8 inches on center for flexible alignment.
• Bolt-on design: no welding required (fasteners not included).
• Designed specifically for step bumpers with room to access underside mounting points.

What towing capacity and loads can I safely use with this receiver?

This receiver is rated for up to 5,000 lbs gross trailer weight and a 500 lbs tongue weight, subject to the lowest-rated towing component in your system. Always confirm your vehicle, hitch, ball mount, and trailer ratings to determine safe limits for your setup.

• Gross trailer weight rating: 5,000 lbs.
• Tongue weight rating: 500 lbs.
• Actual safe towing depends on vehicle and accessory ratings—check cumulative limits before towing.

What materials and finishes make it last outdoors?

The hitch is fabricated from heavy-duty steel with thick welds for structural strength. A black powder-coat finish provides a protective layer against rust and abrasion to extend service life in outdoor conditions.

• Heavy-gauge steel construction for load-bearing durability.
• Reinforced welds at stress points to resist fatigue.
• Black powder-coat for corrosion resistance and a low-gloss finish that hides wear.

What comes in the package and what else will I need?

The package includes the Nilight Step Hitch Bumper Mount receiver tube only; fasteners such as bolts and screws are not included. You will need appropriate grade bolts, washers, and nuts sized to your bumper's mounting holes and torque specifications for safe installation.

• Included: 1x Nilight Step Hitch Bumper Mount receiver tube.
• Not included: mounting hardware—choose vehicle-appropriate bolts and locking fasteners.
• Recommendation: have basic hand tools, a torque wrench, and a friend to help position the hitch during installation.

Who is this for? The Nilight Step Hitch Bumper Mount is aimed at truck and SUV owners who want a cost-effective, non-weld solution to add a standard 2" receiver to a step bumper. It's a good choice for people who tow trailers occasionally, carry bike racks or cargo carriers, or need a lower hitch point for level towing, and who are comfortable selecting the correct mounting hardware or having a technician install it.
