The Westin R5 Hitch Step - Black is designed for customers who want easier rear access with a clean, modern hitch-mounted step. This receiver-mounted accessory gives customers a convenient place to step when reaching into a pickup bed, accessing SUV cargo areas, loading gear, or reaching a roof rack. Its textured black finish pairs well with dark trim, black wheels, black running boards, rear bumper upgrades, grille guards, and utility-focused truck or SUV builds.
The R5 design gives customers a practical rear step without requiring a permanent bumper replacement or vehicle-specific step system. Its 27 inch width provides a useful access point for loading, unloading, washing, cargo handling, and everyday rear vehicle use. For trucks and SUVs used for work, travel, camping, outdoor gear, home projects, or daily hauling, this hitch step helps make the back of the vehicle easier to use.
The textured black finish gives the Westin R5 Hitch Step a low-profile appearance that blends naturally with factory and aftermarket exterior accessories. Its modern triangular shape helps hide the mounting structure for a cleaner installed look behind the receiver. The modular-style step pad also complements Westin R5 nerf bars, making it a strong match for customers who want the rear step to coordinate with the rest of the vehicle's exterior accessories.
This hitch step is designed for universal use with compatible 2 inch receiver hitch applications. Because it slides into the receiver, it installs without drilling on compatible vehicles and can be removed when the receiver is needed for towing or another rear-mounted accessory. The receiver-mounted design makes it a simple upgrade for customers who want rear step access without adding larger bumper-mounted hardware.
The step area measures approximately 19-1/4 inches by 5 inches, giving customers a useful platform for everyday rear access. The step pad is designed to help provide added grip when footwear is wet, dusty, or muddy. The step pad surface sits approximately 1-5/8 inches above the center of the receiver hitch, helping create a practical stepping position behind the vehicle.
Westin includes an anti-rattle bracket to help reduce vibration and unwanted movement inside the receiver. This helps the hitch step feel more secure and keeps the rear accessory setup quieter while driving. A receiver pin and clip may be sold separately, so customers should confirm required hardware before installation.
Whether customers are upgrading for pickup bed access, SUV cargo loading, roof rack reach, work use, weekend travel, outdoor gear, or a more finished black rear-end appearance, the Westin R5 Hitch Step - Black delivers practical rear step support with modern Westin styling. Now Available at LEER!
