I had it on my 2011 F150 and have it on my 2014 F250, I love it. I think the new redesign is even better with the stripper pole stowed in the tailgate, the handle on both of mine has taken a beating, but I haven't had any issues other than that. All future trucks that I purchase will have that option, as long as Ford keeps offering it.

I have arthritis in both knees and my right foot, for me the tailgate step is a must have on my next one. I'm seriously thinking about installing an aftermarket step on my '06. I've had a friend tease me for it calling it a "lady step." He can tease me all he wants, he doesn't live in this body. I actually fractured a toe a few years back from hopping out of the back of my truck with the tailgate still up. Nowadays I take it slow and easy if I need to get in and out of the truck bed! LOL

I saw a listing for a "FORD F150 PLATINUM PICKUP TRUCK OEM TAILGATE STEP COMPLETE W/ HARDWARE 2015" on EBay when I first bought my truck. It sold for 499.99 (wish I had bought it!) Now all I can find are complete tailgates with step already in it....oh well, add it to the wish list I guess.

Tail Gate step
I have an '15 F-150 Platinum Super Crew short box. The tail gate step and assist arm I use all the time when getting into the box. Since I have a "ARE" topper on the truck bed I find the assist steps on each side behind back doors are worthless to me, but they were on the truck when I bought it.

Exactly Same
As a rancher, I use the bed to carry a lot...feed, hay, fence posts, lumber, etc, etc. Often, when I pull something out of the bed, it catches that plastic step cover and pulls it off. I have snapped it back into place but the problem is still there. Lately, the step release button cover fell off. (It could be anywhere on the ranch). Fortunately FORD is replacing the cover under warranty, but I feel that the step cover/tailgate is poorly engineered. I have contacted FORD with the polite answer, "We will tell the appropriate people..." Anyone have similar issues? Any solutions? Sometimes I feel that FORD doesn't always listen to workers who use their vehicles...
