Awesome video, I myself have problems getting up and down of my truck bed due to age and a military leg issue. This will truly make my life so much easier when working in and out of the truck bed.I especially like the extra space with the step acting as a secondary tail gate expansion. Thank you for your time and awesome presentation.
I am a ford guy but the tailgate step should come standard on all pickup trucks.
I'm with you on that. That would have been an add on or perhaps a higher trim level. But honestly this step is freaking strong and wide mind you now I'm 66. So practical. Thanks for viewing.
They soon will be, ford is bringing a lot of options to the table that are now standard!! 12” infotainment screen, all digital dash cluster is just the beginning. Next year there will be more. Possibly push to start, power back window, who knows? They are looking at ways to increase MSRP and justifying it by making things standard. Problem is people don’t like the price tag involved. STX now its own trim and a 50K truck.
Picked up a 2024 STX with no tailgate step. Totally sucks. A new tailgate with step is $1000. Looks like a two step folding ladder in the box for me.
@@prairiestrong1106 Enjoy your truck"Yay! Great" . I think I was in the ball park around 850. just the other day i transported a double side PVC pool step it came right up to the end of the tail gate. No problem just lifted up the back of the step and I had an instant tailgate door didn't even have to secure the load. Eventually it pays for itself.
Hey man good video! Just purchased a 2023 F150 and looks like you added some other neat stuff. Another video would be cool showing what all you have done.
I have 2 more videos I want to edit them appropriately so it can be appreciated better. Including my Oops! Moments. Thanks
Thanks brother I enjoyed your video 👍🏿
Great video. I just got a F-150 (2021) and I am looking for accessories.
Does very professional
Great video brotha! You are the epitome of a DIY'er. Thanks for sharing. My 2023 Lariat also doesn't have the built in step & it really bums me out cause I'm also up there in age, about 2 or 3 years behind you. I don't know if I'll go this route but I definitely need some kind of helper bed step. Keep it up bro...God bless.
Just buy a tailgate with the Pro Step that was damaged in an accident on the front of the truck. Probably the same price, takes five minutes to install.
You've got the onboard scales on that though dont ya? Asking because i see the 4 lil indicator lights in the taillight.
Yes it does very good observation. On that note OBS can be confused with old body style.
I’ve been looking for something like that. Can you tell where you ordered it from?
Just carry a small platform step with fold out legs in the back of the truck
I guess you could but you'd probably miss out on the sturdier and convinience side of this step. Thanks for your comments.
You failed to mention a part number or cost - what are they?
Thanks for asking. There is no part number as it's a universal step you can install on any truck tailgate. The step itself is Goin to run you approximately $850 shopping included. Hope this answers your concern. Thanks!
Why not get a truck with one built in already?
Because I got an excellent deal on this F-150. So to get one in this color and Lariat trim would have set me back about $1,800. Versus $750 Not to mention availability or the lack of. Thanks for asking.
@@willeb522 the fact that a tailgate step doesn't come standard from factory on a new lariat is honestly BS on Ford's part.
Nice mod, Will. One of the things I love about my Sierra is the multipro tailgate with the built in step. Makes getting in and out of the bed so simple. Liked and subbed, best of luck with the channel ✅
Thanks! Best of luck with the Sierra.
