Review: Good quality - The original factory anti-rattle pin (and likely the standard one you tried) didn't fit properly on your 2025 Tacoma because the rear hitch receiver has a thicker, double-walled "boxed" design for added strength and off-road durability. This makes the receiver wider than on previous generations, so many standard or older pins (from 3rd-gen Tacomas or generic ones) are too short to fully engage or allow the anti-rattle mechanism to work right. No big deal though—switching to a dedicated locking hitch pin was a smart move. For the 2024+ Tacomas (including your 2025), you typically need a 5/8-inch diameter pin with at least 4 inches of usable shaft length (some folks go up to 4.25–4.5 inches for a perfect fit). That ensures it clears the thicker receiver walls and still locks securely. Many owners report success with options like Trimax, TowWorks, or similar extended-span locking pins from places like desertcart, Home Depot, or specialty towing sites. Adding the Nilight Trailer Hitch Tightener is a great upgrade too—it's a heavy-duty U-bolt style clamp (with rubber coating to reduce noise and vibration) that slips over the receiver and tightens everything down snug. It eliminates rattle and wobble from any remaining play in the hitch connection, whether you're using a ball mount, bike rack, cargo carrier, or just towing. Reviews show it works well on Tacomas and similar trucks, making towing quieter and more stable while providing extra protection against wear. Overall, solid solutions—your setup now has better security from the locking pin and much less annoying clunking/vibration thanks to the tightener. If you're hauling anything regularly, it's a worthwhile combo for peace of mind and easier access to the bed without constant rattling
Review: Indestructible! Yay! - My “new” (to me) last year 22Toyota 4 runner got backed into in a parking lot. a few months after I got it… I was heartbroken and had to have it repaired - -what looked like just the back tail light and a little scratch ended up being almost the whole rear end & bumper as it’s mostly plastic, to a tune of almost $3000. I bought this hitch initially so I could reach my roof racks when I go to the beach. BUT ! Let me tell you this thing has saved me at least four times already from having to have my truck repaired. Three times already people have rear-ended me at lights and caused significant damage to their vehicles but none to mine granted nothing was high impact -but with people on their phones these days a small bump causes costly damage and even if it’s not your fault, you’re very inconvenienced. I LOVE ❤️ this thing it has protected my truck extremely well. And saved me bump or two backing up as well.. A little grease and it’s easily removed changed as need arises on my hitch. It’s solid as a rock and makes a wonderful step. I’ve had it on almost a year now and I see no rust or damage other than a few scratches where people have thrown their own cars against it. Great buy at a competitive price.

## Features

- Multi-functionality--- Eapele hitch bumper step uses your vehicle’s rear hitch receiver to make climbing in and out of the back of your vehicle more convenient. And this step has the added bonus of functioning as a tow point to attach heavy-duty tow straps.
- Works with 2" Receivers---2” square connector(Does not compatible with 2024 Toyota 4 Runner Hitch). There is also an included pin which can be used to prevent slipping down.
- Powder-coated Solid Steel--- Extremely strong, 10,000 lbs rated tow strap capacity. The powder-coated steel is weatherproof and durable, it should last for years. Ridges offer sure footing with non-skid surface.
- 2 Different Working Heights ---The step can be installed upside-down to use at a different height, which can be quite useful if you are worried about a low step making you bottom-out on rough roads, or you want a higher step to access the roof for your cargo box.
- Tips: The hitch attachment can be loose in some vehicles, which can cause slight rattling. You could add some tape to prevent movement.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: It is rated at 10,000 lbs.  is that the wll (working load limit) or is that the max break strength?**
A: It's solid chunk of steel. I've seen other versions break when being pulled on but not to say how they did it wasn't abuse. I've never had a need to pull on mine. Yet I've hit some polls and such and never had an issue.

**Q: got a 2 1/2 version?**
A: You just need a sleeve adapter to neck the 2.5 down to the 2 in size for the step

**Q: Where is it made?**
A: I don’t know but it is made of great quality.  It’s solid steel.  Best step I’ve bet seen.

**Q: Does it deform in the case of a rear end collision ?  Or does it increase the risk of hitch whiplash?**
A: It depends on how hard you are hit. I do not believe it will bend unless you are hit by someone going over 40mph while you are at a stop. Whiplash? Again, it depends on how hard you are hit along with how strong your neck is.. this step hitch will not increase an injury if that is what you are asking.
