I have that pull-out step. Honestly, it’s not worth it. The only time I’ve used it was to show it off to others
I find myself using the step nearly every time I need to get in the bed. I broke my leg pretty bad a few years back and have a toolbox to access. So it really helps

I’m in my 20s but have fractured both hips before. I can get in and out without the step, but it’s a challenge. The step makes it way easier, especially with the bar

Yeah, I wasn’t using it much until recently, but now it’s a lifesaver for me since I have the SVT Raptor, which sits a bit higher off the ground. I live in the desert too, so rust isn’t a concern
But I think the damper feature is nice. I changed my folding tonneau for a roll-up since it works better

I realize I tend to put more stuff inside the truck rather than outside in the bed because getting it back out becomes such a hassle… thanks for your thoughts

I used the pull-out step a lot on my old truck since I farm. Could just pull the step out and have a bench to take a seat and do my business, since I’m not always near a toilet

A friend of mine has the version with a step. Clever concept but not worth the cost. I’m tall, but I still struggle to reach in. So I keep a simple $20 step stool in the bed

The tailgate access panel and upper moulding might cost around $220 OEM. You’d need to get the access panel sprayed to match the rest of the truck’s bed. You could save money going used or aftermarket. The step is quite handy if your truck is lifted, but you might not use it as much as you think
My current truck has a fold-out bed step on one side of the bumper. Honestly, I probably would’ve never thought to buy one, but it’s super handy now that I have it. It might be a good alternative to swapping for the tailgate with the built-in step
