A step includes an integrated mud scraper and storage. The step may be part of a vehicle and, therefore, may be coupled to a vehicle body of the vehicle. The step includes a step body. The step body defines a stepping surface. The step body defines an opening extending through the stepping surface. The step includes at least one scraper extending from the stepping surface, wherein the scraper is obliquely angled relative to the stepping surface. The scraper is configured to scrape mud on a shoe, and the opening is configured to receive the mud scraped by the scraper. The scraper has a first scraper end and a second scraper end opposite the first scraper end. The first scraper end may be directly coupled to the stepping surface. The second scraper edge defines a scraping edge, and the scraping edge is aligned with the opening.
