Sprinter Defender Mini Rear Step

Compact, convenient, capable. The Defender Sprinter mini rear step transforms your van's rear access. AVC RIG carries it for Sprinter owners who want an easier climb into the back.

Why Add a Sprinter Mini Rear Step

This compact and sturdy step gives you a practical way to reach the back of your vehicle. It also lets you tow without the need for a hitch extender. The result is easier rear access every day.

The step mounts to the OEM tow hitch in under 5 minutes. You can fit it to the driver's side, the passenger side or both sides of the van.

Key Features

• Mounts to the OEM tow hitch in under 5 minutes
• Fits the driver's side, passenger side or both sides
• Tow without a hitch extender
• Compact and sturdy design for better rear access

Choosing Your Setup

One step on the driver's side or passenger side works if you mostly load from one corner. Mount one on both sides if you want rear access from either side. Because it uses the tow hitch, the Sprinter mini rear step stays clear of your towing setup.
