i noticed on a new f150 commercial that the truck had what looked to be a SWEET step off the tailgate that came out of the top of the tailgate when it was in the down position. wndering if RAM is considering an option like that or if there is an aftermarket option any of you have seen other than the corner step.

After having to jump into a lifted truck every time I need to get in the box..I'd love one of those lol!

My dad's F 250 came with one, his last f 150 did too. Honestly if I bought a Ford that would be a must have. It's so damn handy! Lol

I don't think it works with the OEM dual exhaust… I was looking at one and the exhaust tip/resonator is right there kinda. Plus I don't like that it doesn't fold completely out of the way.

For me I kinda just jump head first and then tuck/roll in to the bed of the truck… or do the sit on it and spin in while falling over.

My Brothers 2015 GMC Denali has those integrated foot steps in the corner of the bumper which work great… but they patented it.

I call that the "***** step" It is a great idea and I tried it out at the dealer and I felt less of a man when I used it

I'm installing the Bed Step this weekend on my dual exhaust Ram. My brain thinks it's still young but my body is 60.

I feel your pain, literally, getting old is not for sissies. Told my wife this is what I want for my birthday

I installed a Flowmaster muffler, Bed Extender and the Mopar Chrome Fuel Door today. I didn't get around to the bed step. Next Sunday.

Call it what you want, but my F350 had it and it was beyond useful!

Yeah, kinda ugly. I like this one I have though. Just doesn't work if the tailgate is down of course. Works as a step and recovery point.

What did you pay for the fuel door? Saw one at a local dealer today and they wanted $227 for it!
