I know it's been a year since you posted this message but you should really be ashamed of yourself for letting a Chevy TV commercial with Howey Long give you a bad impression of the tailgate step and got you stuck on the "man step" image.. It was a childish maneuverer on GM's part since they can't deliver the same quality and options and it's a shame that you let a TV commercial damage your personal ego. It's actually a very good option.
it wasnt howie that gave me a bad impression,ever since i first saw them i didnt like them. The tail gate is a "rugged" place personally i think that is just one more thing that it likely to break. I believe it was a sissy move on fords part, believe me i still like fords. And no.... my personal ego was not damaged because of a gm commercial.
@ProudFordMAN I appreciate that you're a proud Ford man. I am too. But...
The tailgate step is an option and you don't have to have it on your truck if you don't like or want it. I don't see how adding useful options is a sissy move. There are a lot of people with bad knees, joints, short, getting old and/or fat and it's a big help to have it. Step Gate, Truck 'N Buddy, and StepIT are three manufactures of tailgate steps for the after market.. Clearly there's a demand for a tailgate step.
The PTO is a power take off. What it is sort of like an on-board generator for running things like winches, auxiliary fuel tanks, and plows. The PTO comes equipped with a high idle switch so it can run better.
@powerstroker14 yea hows that ford that had to get bailed out by the goverment and then didn't have the balls to tell every one and they tolk more money then dodge and GM put together? ohh don't forget ford also had to get more money from the new york yankees. also my truck was built long before FIAT got into it but if i buy a new truck im fine with FIAT they make some of the best diesel engines and strongest construction equipment. to bad ford was not smart anough to find a good diesel
He is stating these options like Ford is the only one that has options. All manufacturers have a huge array of options on their pickups. he also failed to mention the GM class exclusive Allison 6 speed automatic which puts the TorqShift to shame.

@ProudFordMAN It's convenient and will help you in the long run..... Better using the steps than crawling in the bed hurting your back later in life.
