Smittybilt Beaver Step
Simplest way to add a stepping point to get into your pickup truck's cargo area
This is a combination truck hitch step/recovery point/bumper protector. This step has an interesting shape, more like a broad arrow head than the beaver tail it is named after. The unique shape makes it very easy to thread a recovery strap through and/or around it for secure use.
As for its construction, it is SOLID piece of steel which is then powder coated. As it is a solid piece of steel, it is quite heavy for its size. This construction means that it is extremely heavy duty. I am a bigger guy and I can jump on this step and it does not budge.
My only complaint is that it is a little loose in the 2″ hitch, so it will rattle around a little if you do not do something to tighten it up. I decided to wrap the hitch portion with a few layers of electrical tape. It is nice and tight with the tape and it should also help prevent it from rusting in the hitch. I would also recommend a good locking hitch pin so it does not walk away.
