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

The WeatherTech BumpStep XL is a heavy-duty 24-inch rear step that mounts to a standard 2" receiver hitch to protect your bumper and give safe, reliable roof access.

WeatherTech’s BumpStep XL combines impact protection with a wide, non-slip stepping surface so you can reach roof racks, clean your vehicle, or clear snow without straining. Built in the USA from durable materials and fitted with plated hardware for secure attachment, this hitch-mounted step is engineered for trucks and SUVs that need both bumper defense and everyday utility.

How does the BumpStep XL protect my bumper from rear-end impacts?

The BumpStep XL sits behind the bumper in the 2" receiver, absorbing contact that would otherwise reach the vehicle’s painted surfaces. Its construction channels minor impacts into the hitch area rather than the bumper shell, reducing dents and scratches.

• Mounts to standard 2" receiver hitch for direct impact absorption
• Wide 24" profile distributes force across a larger area
• Plated hardware secures the step to prevent looseness during impacts

How does this step help me reach a roof rack or clean the roof?

The 24" wide platform provides a stable, non-slip surface so you can stand comfortably while loading gear, fastening straps, or washing the roof. Rated to support up to 300 lb, it gives enough room to shift weight safely while working at height.

• 24" usable stepping width for balanced footing
• Non-slip tread surface for traction in wet or snowy conditions
• 300 lb weight capacity for most users and light gear tasks

What vehicles and hitches is the BumpStep XL compatible with?

This model is designed specifically for vehicles equipped with a standard 2" receiver hitch — the most common size on trucks and SUVs. It installs quickly without vehicle modification and is removable when not needed.

• Fits any standard 2" receiver hitch opening
• Works with most trucks and sport utility vehicles that accept 2" drawbars
• Includes plated hardware for secure, straightforward installation

How durable is the WeatherTech BumpStep XL for long-term use?

WeatherTech manufactures the BumpStep XL in the United States using robust materials and plated fasteners to resist corrosion. The finish and hardware are selected to endure road exposure, salt, and routine use over many seasons.

• Proudly made in the USA with quality-controlled materials
• Plated hardware resists rust and loosening from vibration
• Engineered to withstand everyday loading, stepping, and minor impacts

Who is this for? The WeatherTech BumpStep XL is aimed at truck and SUV owners who want to protect their rear bumper and need a dependable platform for roof access — outdoor enthusiasts loading kayaks and bikes, homeowners who wash and maintain taller vehicles, and anyone who wants safer, easier access to roof-mounted cargo. If you have a standard 2" receiver hitch and value a rugged, American-made accessory that doubles as both protection and practical utility, the BumpStep XL is a sensible addition to your vehicle toolkit.
