Truck Bed Step

[TNhobbyfarmer]

I recently purchased a new pickup. The older I get the more effort it takes to get up in the bed when necessary, not to mention worrying about breaking something jumping out. I decided to order an aftermarket bed step. I decided to go with the AMP Research product. It is simple; push it down for getting into the bed and push it back up into storage position when finished. It can be used with the tailgate either up or down.

I installed it this morning. It is very easy to install; took about 15 minutes. I think it is going to be extremely handy. Since everybody likes pics I have attached a few. They show the product out of the box, in the down and up position. Since the truck is new, and I am proud of her, I attached a couple of pics. She's already dirty but in this weather, how can you keep it clean?

This identical to the one that came on my 08 Nissan Titan. While handy I ended up taking mine off. It just seemed to always catch mud, snow, and ice. For how I use my truck it was more trouble than it was worth. But now that I am 40 I can see a difference than when I got it at 35. Maybe it's time it goes back on and I deal with the mud.

Climbing into my truck was always such a pain, then I started stepping onto the top of my rear tires, and pull myself up over the side of the bed. No step needed for me. That said, if you have back issues, the side method is harder on you. I hope your step works well for ya.

Good job, that is a great thing to have.

I've always just thrown myself on the tailgate...That might not be practical someday, but that's how I roll today.

Throwing myself around not quite as easy anymore, thus the step.

I would like to have one of those AMP research folding steps on my Z71, but at the price, I had to pass on them. I see the '14 Silverado's have a step built into each corner of the rear bumper, I'm wishing they had thought to do that on my '13 model.

yeah, that would have been handy on my 2010 too!

Understand..I'm 47 and can still flop myself on my neighbors 2500 Ram tailgate with a 9" lift...Guess I'm good for the moment. :dance1:

Add 10 years, and you will do less "flopping"
