I broke down and got the Hitch step from AMAZON

I'm in the bed weekly and with the new bigger tires it's
just high enough to be uncomfortable

I'm 27 and I use it every time I need to get into the bed. Its just nice to have. I have a bed cover and sometime I don't want to open it so I use the step to reach stuff inside the bed.

I wish it popped out easier.

That said, when I bought my truck, I didn't care whether or not it came with one. Now that I have it, I find it useful. It's a good seat too.

haha yes I find myself struggling with it when I'm in a hurry but whenever I slow down and just try to pop it slowly it works like a champ

Love it, a great little option to make things easier when my hands are full

I didn't think to much about whether or not I liked the tailgate steps when they first came out. I thought I would never use them at the time. After I bought my 2014 Limited by then I had added the lead in the britches issue and a few health problems that made the tailgate steps imperative if I planned on being able to get into the bed of my truck. The steps don't help the appearance but they are very practical and for some a necessity for some.

I had the tailgate step in my 2012 and didn't care for it. I had an AMP bedstep installed on my 2015. I like it much better. Less obtrusive and tailgate is lighter.

When i started looking for my 16 xlt I really didn't care if it had the step. The 302a package was a must and 36 gal tank a plus. I didnt even notice my truck had one until after the test drive and was still meh about it.
Now its a must have! Very easy to deploy and use. SWMBO is only 5'6" and she loves it.
For those complaining about the tailgate being heavy with the step I can tell you its much lighter than my 2006 silverado tailgate.
