Summary:
- The step bumper is used on larger vehicles such as trucks like the GMC Sierra 2500 HD, vans, and SUVs because of their higher ground clearance.
- Unlike the regular bumper, it has a small cutout in the center underneath the license plate that serves as a step.
- The rear step bumper of your GMC truck should have a comfortable step pad. Some step bumpers feature an anti-slip surface pad or one with rough-textured grips to give the step better traction.
- Step bumpers may be sold as a face bar only or may already include the pads. They can also be bought as an assembly, along with a corner step, a hitch draw bar, and parking aid sensor holes.
Whether you are plowing the highways, towing loads of cargo, or hitting the trails, your GMC Sierra 2500 HD should have a work-ready rear step bumper. The GMC Sierra 2500 HD step bumper is not just the truck’s first line of defense in case it gets rear-ended. The step bumper, which comes as a standard on larger vehicles, is a defining feature of a pickup truck’s back end. This makes it easier to climb into the truck bed and alight from it, so you can load and unload cargo conveniently. The GMC 2500HD rear bumper also serves as a mounting point for towing equipment or accessories.
What is the Difference Between a Step Bumper and other Types of Rear Bumper?
The step bumper is used on larger vehicles such as trucks, vans, and SUVs because of their higher ground clearance. Unlike the regular bumper, it has a small cutout in the center underneath the license plate that serves as a step. This bumper has a hole for the hitch ball for hauling smaller trailers and lightweight vehicles.
Things to Consider when Buying a GMC Step Bumper?
There is a wide range of aftermarket step bumper replacements for the GMC Sierra 2500 HD. The GMC Sierra HD bumper you will buy should be:
Sturdy
Since the rear step bumper is used to protect the rear end of the truck in case of a collision and also works as a step that carries some weight, it should be made of solid steel or any high-strength material. The metal panel and the rest of the bumper should not rust and warp easily. It should be durable and suitable for towing as it is used for the attachment of the towing equipment. SAE- (Society of Automotive Engineers) and DOT- (US Department of Transportation) certified rear step bumpers are safe bets since they meet the standards and requirements for industrial quality and safety.
Easy to mount
The step bumper may or may not come with complete mounting hardware, so be sure to check this detail before you place an order. Look for a step bumper that comes with the brackets, bolts, and other fasteners for direct installation. Some of the step bumpers are even sold with a manual, so you have the option to install it on your own with the right tools. Other step bumpers, meanwhile, require some modifications.
Convenient
The rear step bumper of your GMC truck should have a comfortable step pad. Some step bumpers feature an anti-slip surface pad or one with rough-textured grips to give the step better traction. This is a useful feature that prevents slipping or sliding, especially when the pads become dirty or wet. Some rear step bumpers are built with more features such as a lamp setup that lights up the license plate and the hitch bar.
GMC 2500 bumpers are sold as a straightforward OE replacement or an upgrade for style or performance. They come in chrome, in powder-coated black or silver finish, and in painted black. They may also be sold as a face bar only or may already include the pads. They can also be bought as an assembly, along with a corner step, a hitch draw bar, and parking aid sensor holes.
