The AMP Research BedStep is a foot-operated step designed to assist users in accessing the cargo bed of their Ford F-150 (Style Side Only) trucks from 2006-2014. This device is engineered and manufactured in the USA, holding multiple patents for its design and functionality. It provides a convenient and sturdy platform, making it easier to step up into or down from the truck's cargo bed.
The BedStep operates with a simple foot action. To deploy the step, the user presses down on the forward outside corner of the step pad with their left foot. This action causes the step to extend from its stowed position beneath the bumper. Once deployed, it offers a stable platform for stepping. To retract the step, the user gently kicks the underside of the step pad. This motion causes the step to fold back and stow securely beneath the bumper, out of the way when not in use. A crucial safety reminder is that the BedStep should always be stowed in the retracted position when the vehicle is in motion to prevent potential damage or hazards. The step is designed to support a maximum load capacity of 300 lbs, ensuring it can safely accommodate most users and their gear. When using the step, it is always recommended to use appropriate handholds on the truck for added stability and safety.
The BedStep is designed for ease of installation and use. The installation process involves mounting the main step assembly to the truck's bumper. For 2012-2014 model trucks, a spacer is required to ensure proper fitment. The installation guide provides detailed instructions, including torque specifications for various fasteners to ensure a secure and safe installation. For instance, the main mounting bolts require a torque of 80 ft-lbs / 108 Nm, while the PT screws for attaching the step pad to the linkage require a lighter torque of 6 ft-lbs / 8 N.m. It is important to note that overtightening these PT screws can damage the step pad. The kit includes necessary hardware and tools such as a torque wrench, 17mm socket, 21mm socket (deep well), and a T-25 Torx driver, making the installation process straightforward for those with basic mechanical skills. The design ensures that once installed, the step integrates seamlessly with the truck's bumper, maintaining a clean aesthetic when retracted. Its foot-operated mechanism means no manual pulling or pushing is required, offering a hands-free solution for cargo bed access.
Maintaining the AMP Research BedStep is simple and helps ensure its longevity and continued safe operation. The step pad surface and the linkage arms can be cleaned with mild soap and water. A soft brush or sponge is recommended for this task to effectively dislodge any mud, dirt, or accumulated road grime without damaging the surface. After cleaning, the step should be rinsed with fresh water to remove any soap residue. It is important to avoid applying waxes, lubricants, or protectants like Armor All to the step surface. These products can make the step slippery, creating a potential safety hazard. Regular cleaning not only keeps the BedStep looking good but also prevents the buildup of debris that could potentially interfere with its smooth operation. The product comes with a three-year limited warranty, covering defects in material and workmanship under normal use and proper maintenance. In case of a warranty claim, users are instructed to contact AMP Research customer service for guidance. Professional installation is recommended to ensure the product is correctly fitted and to maximize its lifespan and safety. Following the provided instructions precisely during installation and maintenance is crucial to prevent potential hazards and ensure the product performs as intended.
