MFT Tailgate with both steps

[Darksteel165]

Does anyone have the MFT and both steps?
They gave me the bed step not the side step, so when the tailgate is down it's a bit*h to get in and out.
Want to know how it looks with BOTH the bed and side steps installed.

I'm debating changing out the damn bumper to get one with steps in it or something as even getting down with the bed step is a complete pain because of how far down the installed step is vs being inside the bed. Really bad design

I'm not sure anyone has installed both. I was considering it, but they both mount to the same spot. So there is probably some modifaction needed if you want to mount them both. I'm sure it would look fine.

I decided it wasn't worth the effort because I just open the MFT if I want to get into the bed. I rarely ever even open the tailgate in the traditional way anymore.

Have a local friend with a fully loaded Rebel that came from factory with both steps installed.

The tech at the selling dealer claimed it could be installed and claimed it was a different connection. I take anything they say with a grain of salt

The way it should be.

Any chances of getting a picture of them both tucked away, and one of them both extended?

This person did it.

Bed step WITH multifunction split tailgate.

LOL That's what i thought too, and ordered it. I was wrong. It's a very expensive corner one! Thank you anyway.

Wish that came up anywhere when I did a search for it. I was looking for MFT and multi-function

Sorry, but I have my doubts about this. Are you sure they weren't dealer installed? Pics would be nice.

Just verified with him. He definitely has both. It was a custom order by the owner of dealership for his son. Had every option available at the time checked. By the time it got delivered, Ram had added a few new options, so they put the truck in the lot, and ordered a new one.

I apologize for not being clear in what I was doubting LOL. I wasn't questioning whether he has both steps, just that they were factory installed. Are you saying the owner of the dealership was able to get the factory to custom build a truck for his son? That's a lot of pull.

Like I said, they just checked all the boxes for every available option at the time. Wasn't necessarily "custom" as in adding things not available through regular orders. But not many people check every box when ordering.

I tried doing that when I was looking into ordering a truck at this time last year, and was told they couldn't select both steps. I'm the type of person who does try to check every box, but I could only have one step or the other. Not both. Which is why I replied to your post. Ordering options change, and it must have been an option when your friend's truck was ordered if that wasn't a custom build or dealer installed option.

I have the MFT so it has the rear step. I also have the corner step from my previous truck in a box in my garage. My plan has been to see if I could add the corner step, but other things have come up. I may still try it, but at this point I rarely ever open the tailgate in the traditional way. So I probably wouldn't ever use the corner step anyway.
