Had the same thought as OP The answer is clear as daylight, I was just curious why. Are the internals of the tailgate different on the flex step tailgate to accommodate it?
Yes the internals are different because the step is stored internally. It slides out of the part of the tailgate that has the plastic cover on it, what would be the top edge when the tailgate is closed.
Check an auto recycling center (also known as junk yard). I've seen them come up once in a while. Any center tied to the national system could put out a request.
