Get A Leg Up!
Newer pickups often feature built-in steps so you can easily access your pickup bed. Some steps are built into the bumper; others are part of the tailgate like the one on the Ford F-150 shown above. The steps are handy for pros and DIYers alike, especially if you have an elevated 4WD pickup. If you have an older truck, there’s no need to cry in your beer—you’ll find many aftermarket truck steps to choose from. Some bolt onto the bumper and fold up or slide out of the way under the bed; others slip into the receiver hitch and telescope or swing out when needed. You’ll find styles to help you access both the rear and the side of the bed. Just search online for “truck steps”—you’ll find something to suit your needs and the size of your wallet.
Best Aftermarket Option
This retractable Lund BedStep is just one option, but is our favorite. It is incredibly sturdy and has a simple install. There’s no need to drill into your car body to mount the step. It’s rated for 300 lbs. and costs $220 at realtruck.com. If that seems too expensive, check out this option from Bully on Amazon.
