A post of a trailer hitch step assembly has a front portion adapted for insertion into a standard square hollow trailer hitch receiver and a rear portion that closely fits to a socket formed in a step body of the assembly. The height of the step body is greater than the height of the post, permitting the post to be affixed to the step body with the aid of screws threading into threaded bores that upwardly extend from the socket ceiling. Planar facets of the rear portion of the post and of the socket coact to resist torsional forces imposed on the step body around any of three axes.
