Can't use it with the tailgate down.....the other step is off to the side so that you can still use it with the gate open.

Looks like the Mopar has the same writing as the amp research.

If I could verify that the Mopar is different, I would spend the extra dollars.

I did notice the Mopar one does not list the 1500. Are the rear bumpers different than 2500?

I've been wanting one maybe 2.

I just checked eBay for a cheapie ...those things aren't cheap

For now money is going to tires.

That's what I am wondering...if the Mopar one was different or better then I have no problem spending the extra money. Some steps say 1500, 2550 & 3500 and some don't--the only thing I can see is the dual exhaust on the 1500 being different.

I have the amp on my 2500, absolutely love it, works great!

I have the AMP step. Works great.

I have the AMP on my 1500 and it's great! Makes it much easier to get into the bed for us old guys.

I have the Bestop version. Same step, different brand. I love it. Makes it so much easier getting into the back of the truck.

Chances are all 3 mentioned are the same manufacturer. Mopar doesn't manufacturemost of not all accessories. They just brand them.

Bestop step on the WHYTRAM. I use it often to get into bed mostly when gate is down.
Sucks getting older and less limber..lol

I have the amp and am very happy with it. Wish it was a bit cheaper.

I have the Ram bed step and it works great. It has been over two years since I installed it. The only thing that had to be done was to put some silicon adhesive on the step side covers to keep them from eventually falling off. Just the occasionally lubrication of the hinge points keep it working smoothly. Yes, it was a little expensive, but its worth it.

Thanks everybody...I am going to order the Amp Research version.....looks just like the Mopar one only a little less money. Not much, but since I have Amazon Prime I get free 2 day shipping also.....

Would you be able to post a picture of it in the up/tucked position? How far down from the top of the bumper will it extend to the top of the foot pad?

Thanks a bunch.

Have had the Amp step over a year and love it. Was only around $215 shipped from Amazon back then. Looks like MOPAR redesigned the step part, but the rest is likely the same. LOVE it as it's for a work truck and I use it multiple times daily.
