Does your Truck Need a BED STEP? AMP Bed Step Install
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- You NEED a bed step for your truck! I am installing this AMP Research BedStep. It has hundreds of positive reviews and I want to see what it is all about. In this video, I go through a full install, review, and then talk about my usage of it for the past few weeks. This has made accessing my truck bed SO MUCH BETTER!
This install is on my 2018 Ford F150 5.0 V8. It will be the same for model years 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020.

nice addition to the truck.
Thanks! I’m surprised how often I use it now
That's really nice brother. I was initially concerned about the decrease in departure angles, but since it tucks up underneath I guess that's a moot point. I like it, if my truck wasn't about to be replaced I'd certainly put one on.
Yea it would look funny if it was fixed down! I have left it down by accident once haha... but no issue.
Awesome video brother. Thanks for sharing. I need one of those to get in the back of my truck. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an incredible day. Much love and RESPECT
Thanks Tim! Hope you have a great rest of the weekend!
Seems like a better solution than bolt-on ladders that attach to the tail gate of the pickup. Newer models of pickup trucks have ladders built into the tail gate; there's no after market mod that I am aware of that could add a similar ladder to an older pickup.
Yea, I agree that it is better than the ones that attach to the tail gate. My last F150 had one built in and I used it pretty often. This was a good solution for one that doesn't have it. I don't know of any similar ladder for an older pickup. Luckily they are typically shorter than the new trucks.
I'm glad I was sitting down when I opened that link. smh YIKES!
Yea. Expensive. I expect it to last the life of the truck or longer. Very well made.
I was expecting something like $1000 when I read your comment. I wouldn't expect it to be less than $400. Right now, it's listing for $329. As far as I'm concerned, that's a very reasonable price.
@@curtisreynolds7375 I was expecting it to be around $50 to $60. But, if you're putting it on a $55,000 pickup, I guess it's reasonable.
Nice addition, cool upgrade!👍
Thanks Mitch!
Just put one my truck a couple weeks ago and so far so good. Do wish the metal bracket went under the plastic step more - the way it mounts seems a bit flimsy to me, only time will tell.
I do feel the same. Having that metal bracket extend further over the plastic step would have definitely given it a better feel when you step on it.
I have ladders on the inside of my tailgates. I walk with a cane and it's the only way I can get in the back.
Had that on my last truck and really liked it.
thanks for your information
nice but they don't make them for midsize truck that also need a bed step. Looking for GMC Canyon.
Yea, you are right. The canyon doesn't have many good options for a bed step. They have the smaller ladders for the tail gate, but not something like this.
Im 5'11" and have zero issues getting in my fx4. If i cant reach i just stand on a tire or pull myself up by the tailgate latch pin.
🤷
Maybe I'm just falling apart!
Question…were the bolts to the step still not torqued down when you attach it to bumper bolts? I just ordered one! I’m hate trying to jump up in my f150..getting old as well! Ha ha! Thanks for your help!
Yea they weren’t. If I remember correctly I got everything attached and then torqued after. Had to make sure everything lined up first. Getting old is tough! Lol
Over 300 dollars for a step seems high to me. Better options for the money out there in my opinion. I was all in until I saw the cost.
Yea, there is probably a nice profit margin built into it but I'm happy with it. It's built extremely well and no-doubt will hold up to the abuse I am going to put it through.
How is it stepping down out of the bed?
It’s so much better than jumping down. Really isnt bad at all
@@SmackeysGarage Thanks
Which brand? Pls send link
It is linked in the video description.
The price for this is way too high for what you get.
I honestly that that before I bought it. After living with it for a few months, I'm really happy with the quality of it. It's held up really well to me + barrels as well as dealt with the mud around here in the spring time. After owning it, I'd personally say it is worth the money.
stupid expensive, can buy ladders for 1/4 the price.
And I bet they charge over $100 for something that costs $20 to build.
Try over $300. They make cheaper Chinese ones though, but doubt they last.
@@marang1966 Good golly miss molly! I ended up bolting a retired saddle stirrup to the corner of my bumper. ha
