WHat are you using for Bed access steps?
MY '18 F150 had the box side steps. Very handy and I used them all the time. That is the only thing I think I will miss about that truck. What is out there for the Super Duty? My F350 is significantly taller than the F150 was and I need something to help me get up on the side to the front part of the bed. I have the factor power running boards on my truck so I don't need a complete running board set up.
Thanks

I have the AMP step mounted on the left rear. It is just like the one jax posted above except different location. I absolutely love it, very sturdy and well made, perfect fit. This is a great example of you get what you pay for. Money well spent!

But I have the AMP step on the rear and have nothing but good things to say about it. It is a little pricey compared to the Bestop Trek I had on my 2016 F250, but unfortunately Bestop had not updated to a 2017+ model when I got the truck late August 2017. If I were in the market again I'd check to see if Bestop has woken up and come out with a step for these trucks. At the time I bought the Bestop, it was $80 - $90 cheaper than AMP and the same quality as far as I could tell.
I once owned an F150 FX4 with factory tailgate step. I thought it was one of the goofiest looking things I'd ever seen with the "stripper pole".

I just carry one of these. Doesn't take up much room. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Gorilla-...-COM/206729683

‘Ol short legs here..... I was using one of
every time I hitched and unhitched or to get my chocks out for the camper. What a PITA! I bit the bullet and got the Amp Side steps for both sides of the truck. Now I don’t need the stool. I do, however, often have to put on foot on the Amp step and one on the rear tire to reach into the bed.
I do still carry all the time. I find it quicker than the tailgate step and I can use it all around the truck. I sure don’t remember paying that price tho. I think I got mine at Sam’s or Ace. It’s all aluminum and real light.

I have my tailgate step but I carry a camco adjustable height step in the bed to make stepping up to the tailgate step better. Plus it makes it easier for my mother in law to get in my truck.

Agreed - I have another Amp step in that left rear spot too - very handy for adjusting my load/cargo bars across the bed without lowering the tailgate.
