I installed the Lund 602001 hitch step on my Audi Q7 to help my daughter get in and out of the back. The fit was very loose, so I wrapped duct tape around the part that goes into the hitch until a snug fit was achieved. I also wrapped tape around the hole where the pin goes, so the pin wouldn't rattle either.
The step was difficult for my daughter to fold down, so I moved it up and down a few dozen times, and some of the metal shaved off.
I kind of thought it would come with a pin, but I suppose if you have a hitch, you have a pin.
For the price, the step serves its purpose and it looks decent on the back of my SUV.

does not fit a 2010 Pilot...i initially thought that the part that goes inside the receiver would be a snug fit, rectangular tube....instead, its just a thin steel projection with a hole that does not even align with the hole in the Pilots receiver hitch...i checked their website and it clearly stated there that it fits a Pilot perfectly....had to improvise to install it by placing a couple of rubberized cushion between the receiver and the hitch to align the holes.

I bought this for a Honda Ridgeline. Unfortunately, the way it is made (it's not a full-length 2" tube) it's not workable except on just-right hitch receivers is there is such a thing. I can't use it.

Does exactly what it says. I have actually jammed this step into a couple concrete barriers by accident and it is still functioning perfectly. I read the negative reviews by some others and ordered it anyway. Those who say it doesn't fit their receivers must have non standard pin hole locations. The caution for others would be to first check to assure you have the pin hole set back in your receiver.

Only one hole on this item that does not line up on my hitch. If the hole in your hitch assembly is shorter or longer (farther or closer back from the end) than the hole on the step's rod this will not fit correctly. You can either return it or drill a new hole as I did. Use a new drill bit if you make your own hole because the metal is very strong. It will take a while to penetrate both sides. The description of this item should be more detailed as to the location of the hole for the securing pin so that you can be sure it will fit your hitch. There are plenty of other steps out there. I would not recommend this one unless you are sure it will fit your hitch.

Looks good but terrible fit in 2" hitch. Would not buy again. It dangles and rattles.

Looks Good and Flashy. Its too long for 2" receiver. Its dangling. Terrible fit. Rattles

Looks great, And seems like it would be strong but the length of insert is designed for certain vehicles but not all. It just flops around on a volvo xc90 factory hitch. It doesn't even seat fully in to make it marginally useful. The hitches that it fits on should be spelled out. Worst part is I returned it, but never recieved refund or replacement or even aknowledgement!

Great idea - compact, sleek, affordable, minimalistic, just enough to get the job done... right? NOPE. Everything about this step is great until you go to put it in your receiver and then (2) issues arise: 1) there's no hitch pin... ok, not the end of the world; 2) the hitch pin hole is about 1/2" off, so while the step is retained in the receiver - it's slipping around enough that you would never trust it enough to stand on it. (which is kind of the point here!) I have a factory installed hitch on my Ford Expedition, I would imagine this is the same pin-hole offset that every other receiver has. So who's receivers are they designing this step for, I guess that's the real question - quite a disappointment.

Both My Wife and I are short and have some difficulty in reaching into the front of the rear section of both our jeeps, [1 06 commander and 1 99 grand cherokee lorado] I purchased the step to ease access. Both vehicles have the factory mounted reciever. on one vehicle the step is a nice snug fit but the other one needs a spacer to make it a tight fit. I have spent 45 years in fabrication, maintenance and repair and know that it is impossible to have 'one size fit all' [just ask your wife] the unit is well designed, has a great non slip tread and the fold up holds tight.
Before you buy and complain, to design this unit with an adjustable tongue it would cost double the price. If you have any mechanical ability at all you should be able to get a snug fit on any reciever.
