Vanguard VGPDB-1024AHUSS 48" Hitch Step Double Layer for 2" Receiver

It looks fantastic, and it should be able to absorb a bludgeoning from the rear.I have it installed on my 2015 Chevy Equinox LTZ 3.6L v6 SUV. I also have their Front Runner  VANGUARD Off Road VGFRG-0497SS Multi-fit Bumper Guard Stainless Steel Front Runner I installed it into a Draw-Tite 76028 Class III Round Tube Max-Frame Receiver (with 2" Square Receiver Tube Opening)  via a 4 inch riser  Dual Receiver - 4 Inch Drop/Rise (DHB-4) - Made In U.S.A. The bumper guard (it's not really a step) is very well made as are the other twoVanGuard Offroad bumper/brush guards I own. On close inspection the one I got is well fabricated. But, I wonder if it would be more stout if they added some right angle bracing in the form of an actual step plate at that 90 degree junction. Meanwhile, it has multiple multiple hitch pin holes, so it can be inserted at different depths into your 2 inch hitch receiver.It was shipped promptly, well packaged, and arrived unscathed.

I read some reviews that were rather negative about shipping damage and/or rusting. Mine arrived in great condition, on my birthday, as planned. It's useful to get into the back cargo area of GMC Yukon's. My latest is a 2017. That's why I'm knocking off a star. Because of the way the 2015 and newer Yukon's hitch receiver's are designed, with a removable cover over them and the wiring, there is not a place to install the included screw down to stop the bumper from rattling. I suppose I could drill and tap a new hole in order to use this but for now I haven't. I haven't driven the truck enough or over enough road conditions to tell whether or not I can hear it. If I do notice a rattle, I'll probably just shim it. I think it's not only classy, being chrome, but serves a needed way to easily get in the back. I'm sure the grandkids will appreciate it.

Pkg arrived with item partially out of the box. Weird as it was damaged from the inside out with no apparent external causes. After the easy install it was obviously made poorly. It hangs between two and three inches lower on one side from the other and looks like poor quality control in the manufacture also there were some spots missing chrome.

This item seems well enough made and study but it blocks parking sensors on 2011 Suburban.

Great to deal with..... Would highly recommend..... Speedy delivery!! Thanks again....
