Anyone else have the bed step?

I was able to pick one up used. After having an F150 with the pull out steps and stripper pole, you really appreciate some sort of steps to get into the bed, especially with the tailgate down, and especially when you are an old man like me.

 

Have one on my 15 OR. LOVE IT! Use it all the time. Toe tap it deploys another toe tap it retracts. From ground to step to tailgate. Fantastic for us old guys with bad paratrooper knees.

 

i had a built in step in my 2016 canyons bumper that i traded in for my tacoma it was pretty handy getting in and out of the bed. now like some one else said i just step up on the tire

 

When I bought my Colorado I never thought I'd use those bumper steps, but ended up using them all of the time. I miss that feature.

This is from an install video on a second gen, but at 4:10 it shows you this step in action:

 

after watching the video it looks like its hidden out of the way when not in use. mabey i can find a take off on craigslist

 

nice do you have a pic from further away? Kinda wanna see how noticeable it is...thanks

 

People that do off-roading adventures don't like them for the most part. Go to your dealer and find one on a new truck --then find out if the dealer will let you know who buys that truck. If that all works, then ask the new owner if they want it or not. You might be able to make a deal.
Mine came from a person up in Washington who did not like his.

 

If anyone gets tired of theirs and want to sell it cheap, let me know!
I want one but don't want to spend that much lol

 

I thought the step came standard on all the SR5’s? Unless they started doing it with the ‘18’s.

 

Not standard. I purchased mine about a month later and my dealer charged me $199

 

Well, the good thing is the price is coming down some compared to a year ago. It’s well worth it for those that utilize the bed a lot.

 

When I was purchasing my 2017 OR I tried to negotiate with the dealer to take it off. He said, "no." So, glad he did. I would say it is the most used factory accessory after the ignition key. I have drug it through rocks and mud, no problem and it protects that nice plastic bumper trim.

 

This seems to be the best price I can find online with shipping. Thanks for the link! I'm going to order one in a few minutes.

 

Yea, not standard here either

 

2018 SR5 built in November 2017, and purchased in Ventura, CA. A regional thing?

 

Next will be an electric one the works like an elevator for even lazier guys.

 

I would buy that! Us lazy 62 year olds need all the help we can get.

 

if these things were $100 or less I'd love to have one

 

Nothing todo with being lazy. The truck comes with plastic bumper ends and no place to step when the tailgate is down. It just plain makes access to the bed easier.
