I use this as a step to get into the bed of my F150 truck with the tailgate up, and it fits any 2" receiver.
My weight is above 210 pounds, and I'm not sure what the weight limit is!
It is true. After you've removed the old adhesive, use some goof off to clean the surface
If it has a 2in hitch, then any vehicle can be attached to it
Selected User Reviews For WeatherTech 81BS1 Macneil Automotive Bump Step
The Buick Regal that rear-ended me this morning hit me from behind. After going over the bumper, through the grill, and removing the radiator, this product went down the hose and out of the system. My truck is in perfect condition. It had to be raised a notch because the hole on which it was mounted got pretty far out of whack. An insignificant crack is present on it. Several people are complaining that plastic is being used everywhere. Exactly! That's what we're trying to say! To soak up the impact, not to break your frame, you need it to be strong. There is nothing I like more than this.
The package is entirely plastic, hollow, fits too loosely in the receiver, and probably will not withstand much impact or shock except as a way to convey warnings about the potential danger. It supports my 230 lbs, but does not feel sturdy or make me feel confident. The fact that it's made in the USA gives me some satisfaction, but I wish I had bought the heavy duty model. Beware of the photo, though. The feel of the item feels good. Unlike what I had assumed it to be, it is definitely not some heavy-duty rubber fused to metal protective device. ** Update** It is time for me to upgrade my rating after having his on my truck for several months now. In spite of the fact that I've worked this step hard, it is holding up rather My purchase may not be steel and rubber as I intended, but it still proved to be quite durable and was completely adequate for my needs. Aside from its excellent looks and durability, I am quite pleased with its quality.
The product information under "Product Information / Technical Details" is correct, with the exception of the incorrect product dimensions. * According to the Amazon listing Below we discuss that in more detail). Despite its 10 x 11 dimensions, it is actually only 11 x 11 inches. Two inches wide by 10 inches long by 75 inches long. This is too small for my needs, since it is only 5" high. The game has a fourth dimension, too (just like You couldn't put a bumper sticker on this hitch step because this is a 5" step, so if you were thinking of sticking one on, "Fuggedaboutit!" "You can't even fit a 2-inch hitch step with a bumper sticker that's 3" by 9"," says a man with a 2-inch hitch step. The measurement is 5 inches Ultimately, I like this hitch step in spite of the misleading dimensions listed in the listing! It is made of plastic, which offers three advantages Unlike steel or aluminum hitch steps, this hitch step will never rust, is lightweight, and will not rattle when handled like a metal step I tested the chair even though it is made of plastic, and it seemed durable (rated for 300 pounds) and could support a 215 pound man with no problem. In any case, I do not know how long this will take The plastic will weaken over time if it is used frequently and exposed to sunlight. Getting it mounted on your receiver is easy, as it has five attachment points. Therefore, it should work for Using the hole closest to your bumper as a step is recommended by the manufacturer, since it will have the strongest strength this way. You may find that a different hole is better suited if you are not planning on standing on it. Despite liking this BumpStep, I am returning it and purchasing BumpStep XL, made by the same company (WeatherTech), because I find it too small to meet my needs. A larger version of the XL item would be 24 inches wide and 4" tall instead of 12 inches wide and 2 inches tall. The price is about twice as much as the one that's 5" tall.
In the past, I had one on my rear bumper due to a mistake I made at a gasoline station while backing up. I did not lose the post, but I did leave a small but permanent dimple in my bumper from the accident. I then found the bump step broken off at the hitch one day. Based on the force required to do that, it could be assumed that a driver who was going at a substantial speed hit it. Since I already had the pin, I was able to buy a bump step online from Amazon without having to purchase the hitch pin, which would have increased the price by $15. Without the bump step, I would have suffered major damage to my rear bumper, so it was well worth the price.
This product from WeatherTech is like all of their other products, sturdy, lightweight, well built. When washing the top of a vehicle, I've used it to stand on while getting in the trunk of the vehicle. It's incredibly useful. I love the bump protector - it's the best part of this product In actual use, it consists of In a couple of instances, I avoided backing into a wall by not backing the bumper into the The chrome trim on my bumper cracked before this incident occurred because I bumped into a wall gently. I have not had any issues with it since I placed it on.
I have been using it for about 8 months now, including a heavy winter with a lot of snow and salt. There is no damage to the finish, and it appears to be in good condition. I would recommend it to everyone.
A car struck me in the rear as I was stopped at a red As the kid was coming to a stop, he was texting. It was so hard the step snapped off the hitch, leaving the residual insert. There was no damage to the other kid's truck or to the.
Okay, I am very glad to have purchased this product since it stopped some savages who didn't know how to park.
The painful part of my hip replacement will last for quite some time, but I will be back at work in no time. The step will make it easier for me to move my things from the bed of my pickup into and out of it. Originally, I wanted a steel pull down step but at $350 - $400 there was no way I was going to buy it Considering the price of $400, it seemed high. I will use this lightweight step, and it is easy to mount and change to a hitch ball if I need it. There have been some reviews that mention that it fits loosely in their receiver but I do not have that problem (you could use a shim if need be). As I have a back up camera on the truck, I should be able to avoid backing into something, but if someone runs into me from behind, it could save some damage to the bumper (this has happened to me twice). Over the past few years, I have purchased a number of Weather Tech items, which have always been of.
