Rear Bumper Step

Bumper Steps, Bed Steps, and Tailgate Steps

Pick-up Truck Tailgate Steps

One of the defining features of any truck is the truck bed. Even if your pickup truck has relatively low clearance, getting in and out of the truck bed to secure and retrieve cargo can be a hassle. A rear-mounted bumper step can turn that hassle into a breeze by adding an additional stepping platform between the ground and your truck's tailgate. Accessing your vehicle's cargo space has never been easier or safer.

At Auto One, we carry a wide selection of rear bumper steps. Whether you're looking for side steps, rear bumper steps, hitch steps, or a tailgate ladder we have the aftermarket step products you need to get the most out of your truck.

Bumper Steps, Bed Steps, and Tailgate Steps

A rear bumper step, also called a bed step or tailgate step, is a small step that is mounted underneath the rear bumper of your truck. The steps are typically installed on the driver side but some models can be mounted on the passenger side of your vehicle.

We even have side bed steps that mount before the back tires of your pick-up truck at the front of the truck bed for quick access to items behind the cab.

Why Should I Buy a Rear Bumper Step?

Installing a rear bumper step is an unobtrusive way to get into and out of your truck's bed. Bed steps also have the advantage of being accessible even when the tailgate is down, something not achievable with hitch steps.

Truck tailgate steps are an investment in not only your truck but also in yourself. Save your knees and back from overextending when you step onto your truck's tailgate.

Hitch Steps

A hitch step is a step that attaches directly to your vehicle's hitch, rather than to its frame. Hitch steps are handy for truck owners looking for a more stable, more aggressive step option. Hitch steps are available in a wider variety than bed steps, giving you the option to choose a wider, bulkier step for more secure footing.

What is a Hitch Step?

Hitch steps, like rear bumper steps, provide ease of access to your truck bed. The main advantage of choosing a hitch step over a rear bumper step is the hitch step is potentially wider and more stable. Hitch steps also do not require any drilling.

Come in a variety of styles including fold down, extendable and hitch steps with lights.

Tailgate Ladders

Tailgate ladders are folding ladders that attach directly to your truck's tailgate. When they fold out, they give you multiple steps to get into your truck's bed, unlike hitch steps and bed steps which only tend to be only one additional step.

Heavy Duty Tailgate Ladders

Tailgate ladders are easy. Easy to deploy, and easy to put away. Tailgate ladders are ideal for trucks with a higher clearance. Tailgate ladders come in a variety of styles from universal use to heavy duty.
