I've been looking at hitch steps because I would like to have something to step up on when reaching inside the bed with the tailgate shut, without having to get all the way up on the bumper- but wow is there a huge variety of them. Wondering what some of you guys have here and how you like it?

 

I got this:

 

I have the weathertech bumpstep and it works very well for me since my truck is lifted. No complaints and got one for my dads super duty too. His truck has the tailgate step but it makes it quick and easy if you just need to jump up quick

 

Me as well. Love it, as I can use it tailgate up or down or with the camper attached or not.

 

I like that thing but not the price tag

 

This is the design that I am using and have for better than a decade. It folds up and out of the way as to not be a shin damaging weapon.

 

I was going to recommend a BesTop Trekstep but looking at the current price I'll refrain. When I got mine 1-1/2 years ago it was considerably less than the Amp Research model.

 

I have this one, works well, easy to remove/replace -

 

I second the Weathertech Bumpstep, although I have it for a different reason. I wanted a "fuse" to protect the bumper and backup sensors in case I get tapped from behind.

 

While a bit aggressive, I'd go with this one.
