F450 with PTO???

Ah great, tell me (please) why would one need to have the FOG lights on and the high beams? They are counter productive in there basic use.

Sorry, just a peeve of mine: both sets of lights on so I get completely blinded.

Wouldnt use them for highway use, at least I wouldnt, when out in a field or in the woods at night would be good, sometimes I need all the light i can get. I can see someone not really thinking and blinding everyone on the highway, that would be stupid and could cause an accident.

The point is not to use them on the highway but on seldom traveled roads. Some of the hunting and fishing spots I go to are on deserted county roads and even 1 mile on a trail thru a field.

Actually, they compliment each other very well. The fogs light up just in front of the truck and to the sides. The high beams light up much further out.

Laugh all you want, about the "Man Step" but this fat 56 year old, Silverado owner, would not mind the "Man Step" at all. My 4WD Silverado is pretty high.

I wanted to do this to my 08 Dodge 3500, but was told it was ilegal in Tx to run fog lights with high beams on, not sure its 100% true, has anyone heard such a thing??

I can turn on high beams with my fogs on as well.

And nope never heard of such a thing.

Ive got a Dodge 4x4... yes its tall, but I knew it when I bought it. I have my receiver hitch in, I step there, then to the bumper, then into the bed.. To me, the added weight of the tailgate to add a built in step is kinda counter productive. It may be easier to pick your leg up less, but then you throw your back out closing the tailgate.

This is my man step, notice the grab handle on the rack above. Makes it very easy to get in and out sometimes several times a day. Makes 3 steps to get into bed, step-bumper-bed.

Have broken a few over the years backing into things, but well worth it.

You can close a Ford tailgate with 1 finger. Its got a torsion spring in it, at least the ones I have had in recent years, but none with a man step. That is one feature I really like. My Titan is set up the same way but a little heavier than the Ford but easy to do. Yesterday we took my 6 year old daughter to get a new bike and as I was unloading it she closed it fine. That truck has a mild 2" lift so its kind of tall and she still had not problems.

I usually have a arm full of stuff and can close it like its noting compared to the others I have owned from Dodge and GM.

The little things like the man step and the way the tail gate operates on the fords and the titans are very nice options, Dodge should of started years ago putting them on their trucks, it would help their sales some. And make it easer on me. I put a cylinder on my tail gate so it wont drop when the kids open it, that helps alot.

NO

6 year olds and tailgates don't mix, that kid might think all tailgates are spring or gas assisted. Mine would kill a kid.
