If you are not towing a trailer on your F150 truck you can still get some functionality out of the trailer hitch receiver.

It is a universal mounting point that allows you to install plenty of useful bolt-ons.
A hitch step is one of the hitch mount accessories that will make your life easier.

Here is why:

1st - it provides a lower step, for easier bed access.
2nd - it works as a hitch bumper protector, which will save your bumper from minor collisions on a parking lot or in the traffic.

If you have a lifted truck - you can choose a step with about 6" drop to step on easier.
Hitch steps are available in various styles and finishes to match other bolt-ons that you have on your truck such as side steps, off-road bumper or grille protector.
