What size holder for what phone? I have a note 9 and note 10 but wasnt sure what one to order its been in my wishlist for a few weeks now lol.

I have an s10 and got the medium. Its maybe got an 1/8 inch room with my otterbox case. Just measure your phone with your current case if u plan on keeping that case and then match it up. I bought the wadestar from amazon and the small is 2 15/16 wide the medium is 3 5/16 wide and the large is 3 11/16 wide.

I had to take mine off when I got my Undercover flex. Now it's like any "good Chevrolet rusting quietly"

I have a hard trifold cover that sits on top of bed, was there enough clearance for that application? I am tired of realizing after I am down the road apiece that my ladder is sitting there wondering why I never take it anywhere.

NO. The way the ladder sits on the tailgate its so close to the edge... like 1" from the edge. The ladder won't allow the trifold to close. Basically the thickness of the ladder will keep the cover from closing.
I traded my gen4 off for a 2020 and still have no need for the ladder.

This is the one area Ram lags others, the step up to the bed.

I agree the step in the bumper is cool but, I like the flip down step they had. Until people got stupid using it.
Then came the recall on them. IDK if it'll be back or not.
I hope the fold down step issue does get fixed but until then I just keep climbing up.
I refuse to drill any holes in this new truck!
That sure makes finding g cheap useful mods hard to come by.

When folding it back up people where using their foot and getting injuries to their feet like broke toes and sorts cause its a real heavy spring that holds it up. Spring powered cam over type design.
I still like them over anything else. I want 2 for my 20 but gotta wait for the new design if any.
Those that do have the step when they go to the dealer for any type repairs or an oil change they take the steps off without saying anything to the customer. As its on recall.

Yikes! I lucked out and found one on Craigslist (not OEM) for $80. They are very useful in getting up into the bed. I do think that they should be standard with how high beds are getting. This is what I have, it works great and installed very easy.
