Only if they need a break for a beer before trying it.

Mine came with one and have used it a lot so far. I. Wondering for folks who have one, do you find it hard to deploy and retract? It seems a bit easier to deploy now but retracting is difficult, almost am kicking it to get it to retract. When I do, it retracts a bit violently. Comments?

Clean it, lubricate it.

Just put my bed step on today, and thanks to all who had recommended this for the truck. Also, thanks for the pics and instructions, Jstadick. I might have gotten it done without the pics, but it was much easier to view the pics as I worked on it.

I have 2019 bighorn. I was at the dealer today trying to order the step kit side 82215289AB. The parts guy couldn't find it. This number showed as power running boards. I think the Mopar accessories web site is crap.
Any body have the Trekstep from bestop.com on their truck? Any good?

I ordered this last week. It came in two days and installed it in 45 minutes.

The new part number ends AF so if he was looking for the AB number it won't show up. 82215289AF Ordered mine yesterday from the dealer and picked it up this morning. the redesigned bracket only takes about 15 minutes to install it.

I still want a passenger side one

Interesting...the multi-function tailgate has a different step, toward the center, and it appears larger.

I wonder if both steps will be available.

 

[AartWessels]

That step for the multifuntion tailgate seems useless when opening the full tailgate in the "old-fashioned" way. So are they suggesting two different steps for the multifuntion tailgate?

I had the same question...and why the online configurator doesn't allow the current step with the protection group. We will find out soon. In any event the left side deployable step can be purchased for under $300 and easily installed.

HAs anyone tried to install a deployable bed step with a multifunction tailgate? If so do you have part number? I don't want to order a step and then find out there's an engineering reason or something that prevents it from getting installed.
Thanks

Bed step WITH multifunction split tailgate.

Hey guys. 1st time Ram Owner. I ordered a 2020 Ram 1500 Limited with the limited 1 equipment group, black appearance package, Ramboxes, multi-function tailgate, 33-gallon fuel tank, bed utility group, e-lock rear axel, trailer brake control, & dual-pane panoramic sunroof. I received the truck...

I like mine (other than the tapping of the exhaust muffler when retracting).

I was also told that you cannot order them (just yet - but maybe they are updated already? I know there is supposed to be a version 2 released) because during a rear-accident, the step gets slammed forward and punctures the fuel tank.

Id love to get one, but the dealer wants $400 Canadian for it...... don't really want one THAT badly

I just posted a take off bed step for sale if anyone is interested.

HARD TO CLOSE? Easy. I figured it out coz I’m smaller and struggling kicking it in makes me look like a 12yr old.

Keep both feet on the ground. Use the leverage of your KNEE and it literally only takes a little nudge. A NUDGE!

YOU ALL ARE WELCOME, even those who do it by hand or could kick it in.

I love it. One of the most useful additions to my truck. Just make sure you remember to return it to the stow position, because it doesn't love your shins...ouch! The rear sensor on my truck also detects it when I forget it is deployed.

Get them while you can! The replacement (ends with AG) has also been recalled. Apparently it did not solve the whole can "cause a fire in a rear end collusion" issue. The part is now a REMOVE/ DESTROY from dealer stock AND all vehicles on the dealers lot.
