![]() But, wow, when it is done, it is super-solid, will hold anyone, flips in and out easily.įord sells the AMP BedSteps as factory options on Superduties, so they may become available for configuration on the F-150, just as they recently added Retrax bed covers as Ford-branded options in 2021 due to popularity with Ford truck owners. There are a couple other nuts that are a bit tough to reach and must be torqued blind because they are on top of the unit where you can't see them after installed. I was able to put a shallow 15/16 socket on the nut inside the "box" and then put a short extension through the provided hole, onto the socket, and then install the torque wrench onto the extension. ![]() To complicate it a bit, the nuts are inset in a "box" and you access them through holes provided for that purpose - but the holes are just slightly too small for my 15/16" deepwell impact sockets to fit. You will need a torque wrench capable of 129 ft-lbs for reinstalling those nuts. ![]() The installation is fairly straightforward, involves removing two large bumper mounting nuts (24MM - few wrench set have this - a 15/16" will substitute, but again, you may have to search for this). The difference is that the Bestop step hinges straight back, so remains entirely UNDER the open tailgate, while the AMP BedStep hinges 45 degrees to the left, so it is outside the tailgate, a far better format for stepping up onto the tailgate itself. The competitor's Bestop step model has been available for a couple months, and it can be installed on either side, while the AMP BedStep installs only on the left side. They tell my I got the first one shipped, and it showed in the installation instructions, which missed a couple steps, but I was able to figure it out and get it installed. I've used their steps on prior trucks and waited for this version to become available for the 2021 model. AMP has just begin to ship their new bed step that installs on the driver's side corner of the 2021 F-150 bumper.
