Go Rhino 320PS Hitch Step Review

Protected my car from damage when a drunk rammed my car while stopped at a red light. Absorbed impact at 15 mph. Saved me over $2,000 in potential damage. This is my second replacement after similar incidents, apart from being a good move to wash the rear roof of a Toyota SUV.

The same applies to parking lots. here they retreat until a blow occurs. I just bought a new Dodge Ram and instead of reinstalling my rusty old hitch I opted for this super good move I got for less than HALF…
