The PowerSteps on the new 2023 Chevrolet trucks have the ability to swing to the rear to help everyone gain access to the bed. There is a discreet switch that you tap at the rear of the running board to activate. Works great! My 2016 Chevrolet High Country has the Amp Research PowerSteps installed. Absolutely love them. That was my first accessory. The Boss said she didn't like the factory running boards since they were way too high for her. Fixed that quickly with the Amp Research PowerStep.
I do enjoy having the corner steps on my GMC Canyon. They do help with getting in and out of my truck bed for the times I'm hauling something. Good to know these are out there.
This is a really nice feature for HD Ford and Dodge trucks. The GM HD trucks come with a bed side step as well as a bumper step at each corner. Makes sense as the HDs are just so tall these days
I put the bed steps on the driver's side of my f150 and f250 . I love them and very well built but think they are way over priced! Love your videos and hope you guys keep them coming 👍👍! God bless you guys and God bless our great country 🙏🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸
Great! I have steps for my Chevy 3500 ordered and scheduled to be installed by our local body shop. My truck is almost 20 years old so there are no bolt holes in the frame for running boards. The shop is going to fabricate/weld them on for $75 and I know they do quality work...better than me on my back welding...it is an 2WD Express 3500 (van body) so it is low to the ground. After 265,000 miles, my wife will be driving it more than I and she needs the extra step.
I have this step on the rear of my 20 F 150. Initially installed on my 2016 F150, I had the dealer swap when trading for the 2020. Even though my new truck has the hidden step in tail gate, I like this step as it is easy to use if a trailer is attached. Is expensive but works very well even at 5 or 6 years old.
Installed one of these on my 2019 F250 so I could reach my 5th wheel hitch and I LOVE it. Did have to drill for the side brace on mine so you were lucky. Got me thinking about the rear step though. Now I always drop the tailgate and pull out that step.
I need one of those steps for the driver's side of my 2011 F250 so I can easily reach the latch and safety pin for my 5th wheel hitch. The installation looks very straightforward.
I had those installed on my 2013 F250. They are awesome. I've got one that I have to use my hands to open. Not sure if it is just stiff, or if it is because my left knee has problems.
They look like a nice product. I looked at them years ago for my now older model truck, They were expensive for me and could not justify the cost. I wondered how much dirt and mud from old farm roads they would collect. Will be nice to see the results on that. I also thought about how much would I use them, actually. Guess when you need them they would be there. Now GMC / Chevy has them built in the bed on both sides and in the truck's rear bumper.
I can accept that a 3/4 and 1 ton truck sit higher off the ground. What brothers me more is the height of 1/2 ton trucks. You need a step to get into the cab, much less reaching over the bed side or up on the tailgate to get into the bed.
I have had AMP steps on all my trucks. I prefer the rear corner step because I have full length to the rear tire running boards so no need for the side step. They are the best, especially the rear when you park you truck in the garage, you can step up into the bed without having to lower the tailgate, which if your in the garage you need to move the truck out of the garage or raise the garage door, for standard garages of course.
Well my truck comes with bumper steps which are quite nice, oh it's a Chevy. Those AMP steps are quite nice, but I don't have them, and the price is kinda high but what isn't these days.
Very nice steps. I'm short and can't reach over my box either. It's only a GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 but its tall with a deep box. Has the fancy tailgate and such but a quick step over the side would save a lot of time.
Hey Tim, I’ve got the full runningboards and the steps that you just put on. I have them on my 2012 dodge. I love them they’re absolutely great good investment you’ll use them every time you want to reach into the back of the truck and get to though bottom of the truck bed.
I had similar side-steps as a factory installed option on my 2018 F150 King Ranch. They weren't available but I'm definitely going to add them to my F350 Super Duty Limited.
I have the bed step on my ‘20 F-250, and I had one on my old Sierra HD as well. I really prefer them to all of the tailgate mounted setups from the manufacturers. I am able to use it with the tailgate up or down, or to get in the bed when there is a trailer attached. Something you can’t do with the built in tailgate setups.
I have a folding step stool I keep in my pickup's tool box. If you have a gooseneck you may not be able to have a tool box. My problem is getting in and out of the bed, truck bed🙃, when the tailgate is down. The bumper is fine when the gate is up, but the gate is too high for my legs when down. If the gate were not so wide, I could get up on the corner of the bumper, but the way it is, I cannot. The stool is fine for ascent, but I usually have to jump down as seeing the stool on descent is iffy. Those look perfect for your purpose.
I have two problems with the Amp Step products. 1( is that snow and ice build up on the and they are frozen in place and or break. 2( is that they don't come down far enough for me. Even factory side steps don't come down enough so I bought after market ones and still modified the mounting brackets to lower them even more. Just my 2$ worth.
I put running boards on my GMC Canyon six years ago. I really don’t use them. A step like that would probably handy. My truck is not that tall, but a step would be handy on the side of bed. Good job…….
These truck manufacturers need to make the trucks lower and cheaper for their customers if we wanted a big truck there are f 450 and bigger or c/k 450 and bigger there too but get the 1500 and 150 back to something we can use smaller and lower
All the car companies stopped making the mini trucks because the cut into car sales drastically. It was not about safety IMHO. Now that car companies are getting rid of sedans and coupes in favor of SUVs maybe it is time to bring them back. Clearly the public don't like what has been offered and are looking for something else.
@@brianhillis3701 I agree and I hate working with the new pickups. The problem is they are not made for you or me. They are made for the urban cowboy who wants to look cool and pull a 5th wheel twice a year. Its at the point where the municipality I work for is starting to buy more heavy trucks or vans to replace the pickup fleet. They are just not cost effective or practical anymore for work purposes.
First! haha but seriously, i lost some family the other day, and your truck bed height videos have got me through it. Stay LIT and keep up the CRAZY content.,
Each to his own. That is fine. I’m not against you having a ‘tall truck’…I just don’t want one. We options in everything else, why can’t this be an option?
I installed AMP Research powersteps on my 2022 Ford Ranger. They took 3 months to be delivered. I wish they made a bed step for the new Ranger. I have to use a collapsible plastic step to get in the bed. Did you have to get approval from the finance department?
Crazy to me that there isn't a factory option for something like this. Anybody using a truck as a truck there in the US would seemingly need something like that.
Looks like a slick product, it will be interesting how they hold up to the road salt. I will say it's rather annoying that they couldn't recognize the value of having their product demonstrated on TTWT. I'd recommend they take a closer look at their marketing plan.
@@simoHoss 300 lbs? Wow, I must be STRONG! Ha! …more like 5-10lbs each. Yep: definitely expensive…but for me, no other choice. I can’t get to the gooseneck safety chains without it. This is why I hate the tall bed so much!
@@TractorTimewithTim yea…that’s what it is Tim, I’m young!!🤣 Let me know when you catch up! Lord knows how I’d have made it this far without all the freebies! 🙄😖
@@TractorTimewithTim perhaps I’m not reading what you wrote in the spirit it was written. I wrote that at 309 dollars, I would take one only if it were free. You replied that I’m likely still young? As I think on it, there is more than one way to take that in. I may be taking it the WRONG way. I like to think of myself as young, but my doc makes me feel older every time I walk into his office. At pushing on to 64, I want to believe I’ve got a lot more years here…but that’s not for me to decide. Still, I don’t feel as old as I used to think 63+, was. That step would make life a wee bit easier, but 40 years ago, I’d have been insulted to have one. Today, these kids just can’t seem to make life easy enough….and I see them as just lazy. If in misunderstood your comment, I apologize and ask your forgiveness for my abrasive reply. But I’m not changing my mind that 309 dollars for that step is a ridiculously insane amount and I’ve got a hundred better uses for that money. Unless like I said, it’s free. 😊
Truck manufacturers are bowing to the wrong customers. We need trucks to use as trucks. There's no reason to make so big. The chevy 2020 HD and newer suck terrible! Freaking sailboat! You need stupid steps like these to use and that's just plain stupid! 12" big on everything!
My god..... the size of stock, off the shelf, pickups has reached stupid levels. I mean where is this going to stop? How about just lowering the trucks? Nope..... then they wont look as cool driving to the mall. I am a municipal worker and we absolutely hate the new light trucks.
I'd hate to try to load hay in a bed like that or anything else for that matter. Small bed, medium beds , to high, no hooks. Thank god I still have my long wheel base 71 ford f100. I laugh my ass off just watching how people load their trucks at home depot or Lowe's. They keep making trucks harder to actually load the truck. That's why you got the truck to start with. If you can keep the old ones running. It worth it weight in gold at the end of the day. Some loves the comfort. All the bells and whistles. You're at work. Do your work get home faster and be more productive. I'd never own one.
Thanks Tim, after watching your video I decided to order them too.
The Lord tells us subconsciously where his steps are leading and why we are still surprised when we get there... The Joy of belief & faith....

23 Heavy Duties have GM type bumper steps and built in bed step ahead of rear wheel. For must have leased technology from GM.
I have installed 3 sets of their power steps. Great products, not cheap, and the quality of the hinges are second to none!

This might be useful on a tractor
Just trade it for a new super duty tim. They got the chevy bed steps now for 23 😅 the multi pro tailgate makes it easy to get into the bed
I wonder why Ford doesn't sell these with the truck??? They sell the one on the back left corner.....Luv ya's from Kentucky!!!
Please let us know how the collect road dirt and sand over time.
Handy and dandy. Blessings.

Thanks for watching!
Amp doesn't need to give products away to get their name out to people..there the best at what they do already. As you found out.
How pricy are they?
How much are they? Do you think they could be used on a Deere 2320? (older 2025)
Now you have to get a grab handle that you have a way to get up on the box.
Yep! Increasing the bed height just costs us more in every way! Soon we'll need an escalator to get in!
I like the height of the trucks. I even had my 2020 RAM 2500 diesel lifted 2 inches. What am I missing?
Each to his own. That is fine.
I’m not against you having a ‘tall truck’…I just don’t want one. We options in everything else, why can’t this be an option?
So you like using a ladder to get in your tool box? Or having to lift everything at least 4 feet to put it in the bed? 6' to get it over the bed rail.
Or you can show it to us when you’ve got it all assembled to Tim

My truck came with them.
As much as I love ground clearance, trucks of the last decade have a really high truck bed. Not handy for loading and unloading heavy items.
Tim, What is the weight capacity for them? What is the retail price?
Google.
