BulletProof Hitches Hitch Step Attachment 1,000 lb Rated

The BulletProof Hitches Hitch Step Attachment is a steel, powder-coated step that mounts to BulletProof Hitches steel hitches and provides a stable, 1,000 lb rated platform for accessing a truck bed, RV roof, or SUV cargo area. The step face measures 6 inches by 10 inches and installs using two 5/8-inch pins and two R-clips, both included. It is designed to occupy only two pin holes in the hitch channel, so a dual ball mount can remain attached and in use.

A Stable Platform Where You Actually Need One

Standing on a ball mount, wet bumper, or tire to reach a truck bed or roof rack is unstable and puts weight on surfaces not designed for it. The BulletProof Hitches Hitch Step Attachment gives you a purpose-built, flat 6-by-10-inch step rated to 1,000 lbs, enough to support a person plus the gear they are pulling down. For lifted trucks especially, where the bed rail sits well above a comfortable reach, a dedicated step at hitch height closes that gap without requiring a running board or a separate step stool.

Built to Stay Out in the Elements

The step is constructed from heavy-duty steel and finished with a black textured powder coat for corrosion resistance. That finish is the same treatment BulletProof Hitches applies across its steel hitch line, so the step matches existing hardware and holds up to road salt, rain, and UV exposure without peeling or rusting through the coating prematurely.

Installs Without Removing Your Ball Mount

Because the step attachment uses only two pin holes in the hitch channel, it can be added while a dual ball mount stays in place. Two 5/8-inch corrosion-resistant pins and two R-clips are included; no additional hardware or tools beyond what is needed to insert a hitch pin are required. When the step is not needed, it removes the same way.

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

The BulletProof Hitches Hitch Step Attachment suits drivers of lifted trucks, full-size SUVs, and RVs who need reliable step access to a high bed, roof rack, or toolbox and want a solution that works alongside an existing dual ball mount rather than replacing it.

This step attachment is designed for use with BulletProof Hitches steel hitches; compatibility with other hitch brands or receiver sizes is not confirmed. California residents should note the Proposition 65 warning: this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth anomalies, or other reproductive harm.
