IRVINE, CA – Known for such truck accessories as the AMP Research Power Step, and the original truck bed extender — the AMP Research Bed X-Tender — AMP Research now introduces the BedStep, a rear-mounted tailgate step that works with the tailgate open or closed. Engineered to OEM standards for fit, function, and durability, the BedStep is available for most popular late-model trucks.

The AMP Research BedStep features black anodized, Teflon-coated, cast aluminum alloy. It provides a solid platform for both commercial and recreational use. Its ribbed, nonskid surface provides added durability and prevents slipping in wet weather.

The BedStep features a spring-loaded cam that allows it to deploy in one fluid motion even with the tailgate closed. It stows rattle-free under the bumper, leaving the trailer hitch free for towing or other hitch-mounted accessories. Manually operated, the BedStep deploys in seconds at a convenient side angle for access to the pickup bed even when towing. AMP’s patented, multi-link design and heavy duty construction, gives the BedStep a 300-lb. load rating.

Installation takes less than 20 minutes, and is a complete bolt-on project using existing rear bumper mounting points and common tools. The AMP Research BedStep can now be purchased for the Ford F-150 or Super Duty, Chevy Silverado/GMC Sierra, and Dodge Ram. The AMP Research BedStep, nationally distributed by Bestop, is made in the U.S.A., and is backed by a three-year warranty.
