Add a tailgate step?
Hello, I just purchased a 2019 XLT with everything that I wanted except the tailgate step. I am just wondering if the step can be added to my current tailgate or if I have to replace the entire tailgate?

You have to replace the tailgate. It is structurally different than the one without the step.

You can also look into the AMP Research bed step. It attaches under the bumper and folds away. It can be used with the tailgate up or down, with cargo hanging out over the tailgate and with a trailer attached unlike the factory step. They are around $230. I got one about a year and a half ago and love it.

You can get a complete tailgate for about $1200 used. If you shop around enough, might even find one from a Lariat with the hitch light and remote lock in it.
