It seems a little early, most of these trucks just started being delivered a couple weeks ago. I wonder if a 2022 and earlier bumper would look OK as a replacement to the 23 step bumper. For the bed, that will be a tougher fix, probably requiring the aftermarket to come up with something.

After seeing all the GM trucks for several years now keeping their steps and not seeing any mods for them, I'm not seeing a likelihood that the aftermarket will all of a sudden figure out how to get rid of the Ford steps. Looks like it's something where the juice wouldn't be worth the squeeze, especially considering the sheet metal involved.

Yeah you’re probably stick with them. Maybe some of the DIY guys can print something that would work, or maybe a smaller shop could be petitioned to come up with something… maybe a bed from a previous MY would work on it. Besides, this, maybe just trade it for a previous MY Duty. That would also fix the front end too!

That side bed step is really high. Looked at one at the dealer while getting my oil and filters serviced. Don't believe it would even be possible to use for me.

Would be quite apparent since lies wont match. Don't know which would look worse, an obvious mismatched truck or a bed step that most people wont even notice.

I don't think it's the same. I saw on one of the FB pages where a guy tried to install a 22 cap on a 23 bed and it didn't fit at the front of the bed.
