Eliminate the lunging, crawling and various "oof"-type noises with the Hitch Mate Truck Step XL, which brings all the benefits of our standard Truck Step to a size that works even better with today's biggest trucks and SUVs. It's a sturdy and stable step that mounts to your hitch receiver and telescopes out for easy access whether your tailgate is up or down. The large 8" x 11" platform, anti-slip step mounts in minutes to ride vertically to save space when not in use, yet folds down and locks in place instantly when you need it. Use Truck Step against the receiver when the tailgate is closed-or telescope it out up to 31 inches when the tailgate is down for easy one-step access to the bed. Truck Step mounts to 2-inch receivers, and holds up to 500 pounds-even when fully extended-for easy access to your cargo area. Save your knees and step up in style! Truck Step XL is designed for the largest of today's trucks. For standard and smaller trucks, consider our standard Truck Step #4045, which offers all the strength and utility of the XL version in a smaller size.
