What brand is that step?On mine it depends how far out you have it. If it beeps, move it in a notch.
A bump step is not a trailer hitch. It's just a step. Unless the law includes them, it's not classified as a hitch because it can't tow anything.I wonder how that plays out with step hitches.
my dark gray 22 model got a nice smack on the right quarter,taillight,bumper cover crease on the metal,still trying to get the money to fix it( communication with the perps insurance company is sluggish-now my take,certain colors do not "catch the eye,gray,dark colors on a dim day and white!(against the the skyline) I have noticed most of the states ticket writers have cars that don't really stand out,that blue and gray was almost camo in some instances,has there been a study done about the visibility of certain colors and reaction time? I know way schoolbuses are the color they are.
didn't know Va was included on that list,now let me tell you the epitomy of dumbass,when I have the tailgate down cutting firewood or whatever only to remember I didn't raise it till the jarring crunch of a treestump ot something else immovable.One dai I was backing a Mack dumptruck down a trail a long ways with trees here and there,slowly,slowly-full stop( what the heck-I backed into a tree hidden in the trucks blind spot,luckily just a scratch and some loose bark
I know, I agree with you. That's why I posted what I did.
Exact same thing happened to mine. Other vehicle had some front end damage but only the bumpstep on mne. Just repleced it with another ($59 on ebay).Aloha.
Been to bussy but with itchy to post my experience with this.
When 1st got my maverick on 2022 during car washes when I was stepping out of the bed I felt, the fall was so brutal that I still freeze only thinking about it, the slamming on the floor was sudden and powerful that Right away started looking for something to step safely and avoid unnecessary injuries.
After like forever I decided and order the:
Bully BBS-1104L
This thing has paid itself off by giving me peace of mind while stepping out of the truck bed, other good thing is the many times it saved my truck from the walls (me backing up) or in parking lots when ppl just hit you and act like nothing happened.
But the most important one was when someone had a brake malfunction and slamed into my truck, yes was a low speed (bellow 35mph or so) but it was enough to pretty much destroy front of the other person vehicle, yep the hood+lights +radiator+condenser etc. My maverick ? Glad you asked, like nothing even happened I checked on a shop just on case and like nothing even happened, no even a scratch.
I'm by no means saying this best thing since slice bread but on my case is been awesome, with so many histories about maverick been totaled getting rear ended this thing definitely could save you from lots of headaches and your truck on the same time.
Nobody were injured, the person was super nice and with a great personality, I was sad because the person vehicle but happy my truck didn't suffered from the maverick rear ended finale that we see here on the forums more oftenly that we would want to see.
Amazon took forever to deliver the new one, but definitely worth the wait and every penny spent on it, hopefully nobody else rear end my maverick but if it happens again I feel confident enough that this thing have my back.
This has nothing to do with the way the world spins...but the English major in me says your title should have been "Hit IN the rear".......
