Avalanche / Escallade receiver step

This is pretty cool, it's advertised as a way to get into the truck tent, but it could be used just to get into the back I guess.

I’ve seen something like that advertised aftermarket , before. Just slips in existing hitch.

Interesting idea, I always just step on the trailer ball myself. But for those who don’t have one, or want to bang their leg on the trailer ball every time they walk by it. It sounds and looks like a good idea.

If they didn't change the style of bumper in the first place, that step wouldn't be necessary. Oh well.

Oh, and I hate it when I'm not paying attention and slam my leg into the ball on the hitch.

That usually leaves a mark too....Ouch!

The nerve damage is my favorite part. I slammed my shin into the ball/hitch on one of my previous vehicles, and now the front of my shin is numb all the time. :sleep:
