This is where I got the bed mat from

Received and installed my step today. The box that they sent it in was trashed. It did have the three bolts and one nut in it though. Luckily that was all that was needed since the others were already welded into the frame. This is a great step. Well worth the price.

Does this step still allow the use with the tailgate down or is it blocked by the tailgate?
You can use it with the tailgate up or down and it doesn’t block any sensors
What @edrclark said. Of course, it would defeat the purpose if you couldn’t drop the tailgate.
My dealer told me the extender pin and knob are no longer being included due to NHTSA regulations. He said I can buy the parts and install them myself, but they are forbidden from installing the parts.

My dealer installed the pins for the extender on my truck on Tuesday, for free. I think they just don't want to hassle with it.

Wait I am confused. I have to buy something else for the bed step to install besides part number 82215289ab?
Two separate issues. The pins they are referring to are for the bed extender. Nothing to do with bed step
I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt on this one. Ram isn't including them, and in the version of the owner's manual that is available to me on Mopar.com there is zero mention of using the divider as an extender. I'm not sure where the pictures posted previously came from, but they're not in the manual any longer.
This has been discussed. They quietly removed the extender language in a revision of the manual. Transparency has been lacking on this and other issues.

Picking up my Ram 1500 on the 15th. My build Sheet does not include the Bed Step. However, Ram Brochures clearly state it as part of the BUG.
Advice on working with the dealer on compensation/ resolution of acquiring it or Mopar Voucher for Bed Divider or Extender.

At the moment, the dealer can’t order it, they are still on engineering hold. Have fun getting your dealer honoring a brochure.

I know it’s will be an up hill battle. Was wondering if anyone had taken it on.
I am making the argument for a $300 Mopar voucher
Good luck

Is it functional with the tailgate Down? i.e. - to use as a step-up into bed?
Yes it not under the tailgate. It works fine as a steppingstone to the tailgate

If I were to guess it is on engineering hold due to the fact you have to move the wire bundle to install. Once you move it the anchor point for the bundle is covered by the step mount. There is plenty of slack in the bundle to move it but you lose the anchor point. I just used a zip tie to give the bundle a littmore support but probably completely unnecessary.
