Curt Grip Step Receiver Hitch Step

 

The CURT Grip Step Receiver Hitch Step is designed for customers who want a wide, secure stepping surface that installs directly into a compatible receiver hitch. This hitch-mounted step gives customers a convenient way to reach into a pickup bed, access SUV cargo areas, load gear, work around roof-mounted equipment, or step up for front-end maintenance when used with a compatible front receiver. Its rugged black finish and open-tread design make it a strong match for work trucks, daily drivers, outdoor vehicles, and utility-focused truck or SUV builds.

The Grip Step is built around a broad 26 inch by 7 inch stepping surface, giving customers more room than many compact receiver steps. That extra step area helps make loading, unloading, washing, cargo handling, and everyday rear vehicle access easier. For taller trucks, SUVs, vans, and vehicles used for work or travel, the wide platform helps create a more confident place to step when accessing hard-to-reach areas.

The expanded metal tread design is one of the key advantages of this CURT hitch step. The open tread surface helps provide strong traction while also allowing dirt, mud, snow, and debris to fall through instead of collecting on top of the step. This makes the step especially useful for customers who work outside, visit job sites, tow in changing weather, use the vehicle for outdoor gear, or need a step surface that stays more usable in messy conditions.

CURT builds the step from powder-coated aluminum for lightweight handling and corrosion resistance. The aluminum construction helps keep the step manageable when customers install, remove, or store it, while the black powder coat finish helps protect it from rain, snow, dirt, road salt, and regular outdoor use. Smooth rounded end caps help eliminate sharp corners for a cleaner finished look behind the vehicle.

The receiver shank is built from strong steel with a durable black powder coat finish. It is designed to fit most standard 2 inch by 2 inch receiver tube openings, making the Grip Step a versatile option for many compatible trucks, SUVs, vans, RVs, and utility vehicles. The hitch-mounted design also allows customers to install the step only when needed and remove it when the receiver is needed for towing or another hitch-mounted accessory.

The CURT Grip Step Receiver Hitch Step is available in a standard version and a 6 inch drop version. The standard version gives customers a direct receiver-mounted step for rear or front access, while the 6 inch drop version places the step lower for easier access into larger or lifted vehicles. This gives customers a useful choice based on vehicle height, access needs, and the areas of the vehicle they use most often.

Whether customers are upgrading for pickup bed access, SUV cargo loading, front-end maintenance, roof rack reach, work use, outdoor gear, or a more functional receiver-mounted step setup, the CURT Grip Step Receiver Hitch Step delivers wide high-traction access with durable black-coated construction.
