Can anyone comment on the usefulness of this feature? Seems like a no brainer at $195??

A quick search, looks like a lot of guys like it. I plan to purchase at some point.

Bed Step Install Doc and Pics

So I got my Mopar bed Step..i.e., "Step Kit-Side - 82215289AB ", yesterday and mounted it. Took a couple of pictures of the mounting points. Just three bolts hold it on. Attached are the included mounting instructions and a couple of pictures. In a nutshell: 1. Remove one existing bolt...

Highly recommend. Out of the way when not needed but easy to use when you do. I think it's the best way to get into the bed from any manufacturer.

Worth every penny; many people are paying around $250 for the parts alone, then either installing themselves or paying more to have it installed, and not a single complaint on the device with the exception of some aftermarket exhausts needing tweaking to prevent interference.

In addition, the part is currently on engineering hold, so sometimes it takes a long time to receive. If you can have it built with the truck, not only is it part of the warranty but you may avoid the potential wait others may face when current dealership/online vendor parts run out.

PS: Most of the complaints in this forum are regarding the shipping method of the online purchase, not the part itself, so don't let that scare you.

I got it. Love it!

Simple and useful.

MoparAmerica, ordered and received within 2 days, 2 weeks ago. I do not believe there is a hold on the steps any longer. VERY WELL WORTH THE MONEY.

Drove three friends to see a band last night. Upon getting in, heard one say “look, this step has come out to help us get in.”

I have it on mine, an excellent touch to a great truck. Get it.

Add me to the list of those who have it and love it....

I used mine for the first time yesterday. Really worked well. I like it better than the steps in the ford tailgates. Just don’t trip on the tailgate support on the way back down.

I purchased my truck with it installed from the factory. It definitely worth the price and the convenience of haven't it.

It will be handy when I put my lift and 35's on this week.

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?

Yeah it closes with a solid clunk

I can make mine retract with my hand.

Mine as well

Definitely a good option, mine is factory installed. I struggled to get it to close, I remember the salesman watching me trying to close it and simply pushing it closed with his hand.

I now put my foot squarely on it and push it under the truck. Works great......

Put your foot on the tab and press mostly forward (toward front of truck) rather than downward. It will release and your foot can keep it from slamming.

^^^. Exactly and it’s also easy to do by hand.

Ordered mine from Mopar America on 3-29 & received it this morning. Will install tomorrow.
