If its a straight side yes. You can get an 08+ SuperDuty tailgate with one and use it

It's just any SuperDuty tailgate newer than 08 with the step that will work. But it will work on yours. You just have to modify a bracket some, a member that's done it will probably step on here and tell you what you'll need but it does fit.

get a little step stool to carry around in the bed
no, the superduty tailgate would work best and easy if you can find one....I've seen steps like some people put on the sides under the bumper....IDK if that'll work on yours, but I figured I could throw it out there
