All About the Curt Grip Step Trailer Hitch Mounted Step for 2" Trailer Hitches- Video
Ellen: Hey everyone, I'm Ellen here at etrailer.com, and we're going to be taking a quick look at the CURT Grip Step. This is going to be a hitch-mounted step to allow you to get better access and better reach to maybe some roof-mounted accessories, whether you're putting up some gear in a roof box or a roof basket, maybe putting on a bike rack, or a kayak or something like that, so it helps you to get a little bit more leverage getting in there, or maybe if you're putting this on a truck, it just helps you to get into your truck without having to take down the tailgate, and just gives you a little bit of an easier access in there. This does have a drop to it, so it does work really well for taller vehicles or lifted vehicles to help bridge that gap.It's made out of a rugged aluminum construction for the step, and then the shank is made out of steel, so it should be nice and durable, but this being aluminum, is going to keep it relatively lightweight, so it's not super heavy to put into your hitch or take back out. And it does come with a hitch pin and clips, that makes it easy to get it installed right off the bat, you don't have to worry about picking up an extra hitch pin and clip to use this. So let's take a little closer look and talk about some more of the details, and I'll give you some measurements towards the end.So you can see this is going to be that expanded metal design. It really has a lot of grip and texture to this plate, so it helps to allow any dirt or snow to fall through and not get bound up on here. more

Review of the Carr Hitch Mounted Step for 2" Trailer Hitches- Video
Today we'll be taking a look at the Carr hitch mounted step for two inch trailer hitches. This is going to be a handy step to get into your truck bed, or access your cargo area inside your vehicle, or even help to get items loaded up onto your roof. It just installs in your two inch by two inch hitch receiver. It does need to have a pin and clip or a locking hitch pin to use this since you don't want to step on that without it being properly secured. It does not come with one, so you will have to pick one up separately. We have a lot of options available here at etrailer.com whether you want just a regular pin and clip or a hitch lock.Basically the way this step will work we have our United States Coast Guard insignia on the front and then if we flip this down, that'll give us access to that step. more

Pilot Stainless Steel Trailer Hitch Receiver Step with LED Lights Review- Video
Bob here at etrailer.com and today you're going be taking a look at the Pilot Automotive Trailer Hitch Receiver Step.Now this is going to make it really easy to get in and out of the back hatch, or if you've got a truck and you need to get into the tailgate area, or maybe even you just need to wash your car. It's going to make it a lot easier to get up to those high areas, give us a nice step so we can wash the top of our car, or get whatever we need.What's really going to set this step apart compared to all the other ones on the market is the fact that it's going to have an integrated LED strip in there, so not only is it going to give us that step to make it easier to access certain areas, it's also going to protect our rear bumper, one, because the step itself is going to prevent anything from hitting our bumper first, but also it's going to give drivers behind us a warning if we're breaking or we have our taillights on.Now as you can see when I have my headlights on, my tail lights are illuminated, our step is going to illuminate. But also when we turn our turn signal, we can see that that's going to blink as well and that doesn't matter either direction, the whole step is going to blink with our blinkers, and whenever we hit our brakes, we can see that the step's going to brighten up the intensity as well, so all the drivers behind us will see that and there's no mistaking that there's either brake lights, taillights, or a turn signal going on.Now obviously if since we have a light on the back of our step here, we're getting need to get power in the signals to turn them on, but the nice thing about our step is that it's not going to require any kind of cutting or splicing at all. It's going to actually plug directly into an existing four pole wiring, that way you'll get the same signals a trailer would and we'll have all of our lights right at the back of our step.Now, our hitch step is going to work with inch and a quarter and two inch hitches like we have here. I'll go ahead and pull the pin and clip out. I do want to mention that the pin and clip are not included and you will need to provide either a pin and clip or a locking device to secure everything.But if I pull my step out, we can see that there's actually a sleeve that fits right over and that's where we're going to get that instrument quarter and two inch receivers. more
