I am a problem.Â* My ass is not getting up in the bed without a step of

Almost all if not all pick up trucks have a step bumper to begin with.
The GMC step does not go much lower than the built in step in the bumper.
I use the step on the bumper to get in the bed of my Tundra, and then I
drop the tailgate.

Actually I prefer this new tail gate by RAM.

They gave taken a proven, useful design used on Honda pickups and enhanced it. I especially like the kick activated step. It looks like its low enough to be really useful and its out of the way of trailering.


Yes! With Honda and Ram you can actually get really close to the bed.
With the GMC you are only about 8" closer to the bed, in the
configuration for that purpose.
