Rear bed step for dual exhaust?

[FloridaNative]

New to the forum, new to the F-150 and new to Ford…

Just bought a ‘24 XLT FX4 Powerboost and am looking for a retractable rear bed step that works with dual exhaust. All the ones I’ve found are for single exhaust only and Google isn’t helping.

I’m open to DIY solutions, but I want something that will work with tailgate up or down and doesn’t use the hitch (want access to the step while towing).

Thanks in advance,
Mike

Did you find any options? I’m on the same boat with the dual exhaust

I haven’t seen a bed step available that is compatible with dual exhaust.

Nope. Nothing off the shelf from what I can tell. I’m half tempted to see what I can fab up to make one work, but I don’t want to spend the money they’re asking for one to chop it up and I have too many other higher priorities right now. I feel if it were easy, someone would have done it by now. For now, I just carry a folding stool behind the rear seat but don’t really use it very often. Long term solution is probably replace the tailgate with one with the step, even though it won’t help while towing.

Maybe a used side step that fit at the front of the bed, just after the cab, from an earlier year, maybe the 15's - 20's could be modified. You can find them on Ebay at a reasonable price.

If you leave your hitch installed, you could use something like this: https://www.amazon.com/TEMCo-Univer...pcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=A2TLTYG8U2QKGY

Wouldn't the Ford Center Retractable Step (SKU: VRL3Z17A958A) work with the dual exhaust?
