Alu-Cab Tow Bar Step
Alu-Cab Tow Bar Step
Heavy-duty rear vehicle access for campers, rooftop tents, and overland rigs.
The Alu-Cab Tow Bar Step is designed to make accessing your camper, canopy, roof rack, or rooftop tent safer and easier.
Mounted directly into a standard 2" receiver hitch, the Tow Bar Step provides a secure rear foothold without permanent modification to your vehicle. Whether you're loading gear, accessing a rooftop tent, or climbing into a canopy setup, the Tow Bar Step delivers stable, convenient access exactly where you need it.
Its spring-loaded self-retracting design folds neatly away when not in use, helping preserve departure angle while keeping the rear of your vehicle clean and functional.
Why Choose the Alu-Cab Tow Bar Step?
- Secure Rear Vehicle Access, ideal for rooftop tents, campers, canopies, and gear loading
- Self-Retracting Design, automatically folds away when not in use
- Zero-Drill Installation, installs directly into compatible receiver hitches
- Built for Harsh Conditions, corrosion-resistant stainless steel construction for real overland use
- Maintains Departure Angle, folds upward to minimise trail interference
- Heavy-Duty Load Rating, supports up to 175kg (385 lb)
Built for Real Adventure Travel
The Tow Bar Step is one of those upgrades that quickly becomes part of every trip.
From loading rooftop gear to climbing into a canopy camper after a long day on the trail, the rear-mounted step adds convenience without adding complexity.
Because it stays attached to the vehicle, there’s no separate stool or loose accessory to pack, store, or forget at camp.
Durable Stainless Steel Construction
Designed for long-term outdoor use, the Tow Bar Step is constructed from corrosion-resistant 304 stainless steel and secured using premium 316 stainless steel fasteners.
The stepping surface uses a non-slip Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR) tread for confident footing in wet, muddy, or dusty conditions.
Smart Self-Retracting Design
The spring-loaded mechanism automatically folds the step upward when not in use.
This helps:
- Reduce impact on departure angle
- Keep the step protected off-road
- Maintain a cleaner rear vehicle profile
- Prevent interference during trail driving
Compatibility & Important Fitment Information
The Alu-Cab Tow Bar Step is designed for vehicles equipped with:
- Standard 2" box receiver hitches
- Two-bolt receiver systems
Important: Alu-Cab released an updated V2 version in 2026 to improve compatibility across a wider range of 2" receiver designs.
Current inventory may include original V1 Tow Bar Steps.
V1 Tow Bar Steps work well with many square or laser-cut heavy-duty receiver hitches commonly found on aftermarket off-road bumpers.
However, certain rounded or tighter-tolerance OEM receiver hitches may require the newer V2 version for optimal fitment.
If you are unsure about compatibility with your vehicle, please contact Cap-it before ordering and we will help confirm fitment.
What Changed with Tow Bar Step V2?
The updated V2 Tow Bar Step improves compatibility and simplifies installation.
- Improved compatibility with standard OEM 2" receivers
- Reduced mounting bracket dimensions
- Additional mounting position for tighter clearances
- Simplified installation with fewer fasteners
- Updated through-bolt mounting design
Existing V1 installations functioning correctly do not require replacement.
