A step that folds out of sight

Push the pad down with your boot and a wide, grippy step appears at the corner of the bumper. Kick it back up and it tucks away so neatly that the rear of the truck looks untouched, with a 300 lb rating built in.

Sure footing in wet weather

The glass-reinforced composite pad has a non-slip surface big enough for a work boot, and it keeps its grip when wet or muddy. Keep waxes and protectants off it so it stays that way.

Built for daily trips into the bed

Loading coolers, tool bags and feed sacks can mean dozens of climbs a week. A step at bumper height turns each one into a single easy stride, and the die-cast aluminum frame behind the pad is rated to 300 lb.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers on specs, fit and support

Which side of the bumper does it mount on?

On most trucks it sits under the driver's side corner of the rear bumper, and the Gladiator version mounts on the passenger side. Depending on the truck, the pad swings straight back or angles out toward the side, and the guide for each truck shows its orientation. If you want it to deploy in a particular direction, look at that guide before you order.

Will it clear my exhaust and trailer hitch?

Exhaust layout changes the part on some trucks. Where the factory tailpipe exits near the step, AMP Research makes separate versions for single and dual exhaust, and the listing title says which one you are looking at. An aftermarket or modified exhaust is outside the fitment data, so check the clearance at the bumper corner first. Several guides include steps for trucks with a tow hitch, and a few note that an aftermarket hitch can mean replacing two bumper studs.

Does it work in snow and ice?

The glass-reinforced pad keeps its grip when it is wet or muddy, which is where it earns its keep. In freezing slush, though, ice can pack into the linkage and hold the step shut until it is cleared, and owners in snow country say so. Rinse the linkage after salty drives, knock off any buildup before you kick it down, and never leave it deployed while driving.

How much weight can it hold?

AMP Research rates it to 300 lb. The frame is die-cast aluminum and the pad is a glass-reinforced composite fastened with screws, so treat the rating as a ceiling for one person stepping up, not a place to stand and bounce or to rest a load. Step onto the middle of the pad, use the bed rail as a handhold as the brand advises, and stop using it if the pad ever cracks. Defects in materials or workmanship are covered for three years.

Can I install it myself?

It is a bolt-on job with no drilling in the guides for the trucks we list, but it is not a five-minute one. You work under the bumper in tight space, every bolt has a torque value, and some trucks need a spacer fitted or a factory bracket removed first. AMP Research recommends professional installation. If you do it yourself, download the guide for your truck from its page before you start, have a torque wrench and metric sockets ready, and snug every bolt before torquing any of them.

Will it fit a lifted or leveled truck?

The BedStep mounts to factory points under the rear bumper, and plenty of owners run it on lifted trucks. The pad drops a fixed distance below the bumper, so on a lifted truck it still shortens the climb but starts higher off the ground. AMP Research does not publish a lift or ride-height limit, so measure from the ground to the bottom of your bumper if the first step matters to you.
