I like the steps on the corner much better. The hitch step just seems impractical.

Amp Research also makes a side step. Super easy to install, it bolts right on...very sturdy and easy to deploy and retract. I put one on the driver side and use it quite a bit. Saves the knees.....

The amp is the one I have and I like it a lot. Easy to use and almost completely hidden when tucked up and away

I LOVE the step and pole................I turned 61 YOA a couple of days ago, and I would not have a truck ever again without this feature.

Both look like decent options, but if you use your hitch regularly, it looks like the top one would work better --- and you would not have to take it on and off all the time either.
