The WeatherTech BumpStep XL is a multi-functional hitch accessory designed to provide a massive defensive barrier for your vehicle's rear bumper. Spanning 24 inches wide, this XL version is twice the size of the standard BumpStep, offering significantly more coverage against "love taps" in parking lots, runaway grocery carts, and minor rear-end collisions.

Engineered with a unique two-step molding process, it utilizes two proprietary resins. The inner base is a rigid, high-strength material that resists flexing, while the outer layer is a softer, impact-absorbing resin designed to cushion blows and prevent damage to your vehicle's finish. This specific model includes the Theft Deterrent Stainless Hardware kit, featuring a 1/2" stainless steel Allen key bolt that replaces standard hitch pins to prevent unauthorized removal while resisting rust and corrosion in harsh environments.
