Mine just kicks down, then up, with one foot. The side of the truck is then the handle. So I could be carrying a package and not have to put it down somewhere.

So what is your cab floor height? And tailgate down height?

Have to admit, I’d love to have the Ford “man” step. GM went whole hog with the interactive tailgate. A ****ing $3K tailgate. I have the bumper steps. They aren’t bad, but would like the Ford option.

When you're paying 90 to 100k for the truck, what's another 3?

I really don’t carry packages when climbing up into the truck. If I’m carrying a package I put it in the truck and that’s the somewhere it gets put down.

Cab floor = 28”
Tailgate = 38”

The Ford truck tailgate step is one of the best pickup truck innovations since the double wall bedsides.
I’ve had a few of them and they have been improved over the years. This latest version is totally hidden and smooth operation.

The GM tailgate is a little too much IMO. Has a lot going on but the actual step is not that great.

So that 's for an F250 4x2?

For mine:
Cab floor = 23”
Tailgate = 32”

I'd like to know what they are for an F150.

F250 4x4.

The tailgate height is perfect to use as a workbench and I do almost daily.

The cab height is no big deal, my truck has the auto deploy step boards @ 14"
