Everyone else in the world sure likes it when they see it. You also cannot add it later short of swapping tailgates/lot of work. Lot of benefits/no cons for a $300ish option.
You can add an amp bed step for fairly cheap. I have one and it works great. Hands free and takes 2 seconds to flip down with your foot.
If you rarely go off road or don't get significant snow and ice in winter 4WD is not a must have. Matter of fact you can carry more weight and tow heavier loads without 4WD,.
What constitutes "must have" varies and is completely up to the discretion of the buyer. For many truck buyers, 4WD is a 'must have' when deciding what vehicle to buy.
The question (as useless as it is) was posed as, would we buy that truck.
Yeah looking at the pic I don't see how that is particularly (or at all) useful for stepping into the bed with the tailgate down
Really? The bumper has like four inches you can step on with the tailgate down and that step sticks out further than the bumper. You can probably use that whole step with the tailgate down.
If you are considering buying this truck but concerned about resale...really, who cares about resale if it's a truck you like and plan on keeping it till the wheels fall off.

The step comes out to the side of the tailgate, not underneath. Very easy to get in and out of the bed. I have the OEM tailgate step as well, but only use it when camping. The bed step is much faster and more convenient.
Really, he didn't give near enough information to make an informed decision. The truck may have no tow package at all (dealer breaker for me even if not planning on towing), have 3.31 gears and an open rear differential.
I would NEVER buy a rear drive truck with an open diff unless I got it for thousands less and then put a limited slip in myself.
