WeatherTech BumpStep

I backed into a pole in my own driveway yesterday, and the BumpStep just shrugged it off with a scuff I wiped away with my thumb. The mounting is rock solid, no rattling even on the highway, and it sits low enough that nobody’s rear bumper gets anywhere near my paint.

Rear-end collisions are so stressful even at low speeds, so I grabbed this bumper protector as a cheap insurance policy. The rigid frame sits flush against my tailgate and actually feels like it could absorb a solid hit from a distracted driver. Knowing it’s there has honestly taken a load off my mi

The hitch step itself feels rock-solid when I step on it to reach the roof rack, and it slides out of the receiver easily when I don't need it. My only gripe is that the rubber pad collects a bit of mud, but a quick rinse fixes that.
