Product Questions & Answers
Customer Guides
One of the most popular vehicles in the U.S., the GMC Sierra 1500 is a full-size pickup truck that handles work and personal use with equal aplomb. The cargo bed of the 2020 year model boasts greater volume than its counterparts, and its carbon-fiber composite construction can withstand rough handling.
Accessing that rather high cargo bed and its contents may prove challenging, especially if a heavy load occupies your hands and arms. That’s why you have the option of going for a step bumper as a functional adornment for the rear end of your GMC Sierra 1500.
What’s a step bumper?
A step bumper is a rear bumper type with a step built into its structure. The step will often feature a pad made of non-slip material to reduce the risk of slipping when it’s wet. The bumper itself uses sturdy stainless steel.
Many step bumpers also come with a receiver hitch. Found below the step and designed to accept the ball joint of a trailer, the hitch lets your GMC Sierra 1500 tow small trailers with light loads.
What does a step bumper do for your GMC Sierra 1500?
Pickup trucks are tall vehicles by design. They need the additional road clearance to climb over uneven terrain without getting stuck or damaging their bottom. But their height makes it harder to access the truck bed.
Step bumpers make it easier for people to access the cargo bed of their truck. They give you a literal leg up. You don’t have to lower the tailgate to grab something from the bed or load an object.
The drawback of a step bumper
Bumpers protect the car from serious impacts such as car crashes. They absorb the force of the collision, sacrificing themselves to prevent the rest of the vehicle from taking damage. It’s easier and cheaper to replace a bumper than to fix a wrecked end.
Understandably, step bumpers can’t match their standard counterparts in the level of collision protection. Not only is the step weaker than the rest of the bumper, but it also undermines the structural strength of the entire part.
It’s up to you if the improved ease of access to the cargo bed and the option of towing trailers outweigh the greater risk of your truck getting damaged when you back it into an object or get rear-ended by another vehicle.
Cost of a GMC Sierra 1500 step bumper
Picking the right step bumper for your GMC Sierra 1500 pickup can prove challenging from a budgetary viewpoint. Depending on the bumper’s manufacturer and features such as room for parking aid sensors, the price tag for this bumper can vary between $35 and $1,316.
Since step bumpers can cost a pretty penny, look for a bumper that fits your Sierra 1500. Check your truck’s bed type, as stepside or flareside beds will likely not accept bumpers designed for fleetside or styleside beds. Ask an expert for recommendations or enter your vehicle’s year, make, and model in the filter bar of the online shop.
