Reaching the bed from the side of the truck

[L3it3R]

What's wrong with the two steps designed into the side of the truck right behind the wheel? If you look in the parts catalogue you will see there are structural steps built in right under the plastic trim. In other words, they are actually designed as steps and you can reach most of the bed from them.

Cool

I can’t wait for Amp research to make a hidden step for this truck! I have them on my 2500HD and love them , not a fan of the ones that don’t fold up just don’t like the look.

Yeah big fail by not designing a bumper with a step in it or a fold out step inside the bed like all the new trucks have these days. It really is a inconvenience to have to knee up to get in it

That’s a great idea for washing. I have a step stool I use but this offers more side to side movement.

Anyone thinking of a product to assist with being able to reach things in the bed of the truck from the side of the truck? Because of the design, I can't quite reach over the side to grab something as simple as a gym bag even in entry mode and I am 6' 1". Maybe a concealed step in front of the rear tires? idk.

I use a pair of light weight suction cups. I can position them anywhere and use them as hand holds to climb up.

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A VERY CLEAN SURFACE.

I use the 80lb plastic or 110lb aluminum ones and I weigh about 175 lbs.

But there are suction cups that can go up to several hundred lbs.. Some have straps - this gives lots of options for tie downs on the stainless steel Cyberbeast exterior...

Agreed! Been rocking them on multiple vehicles since ‘06.

i use the frunk alot. I am on an iPhone, and I programmed the "quick button" (one above the volume buttons) to open it as I am walking to the car.

Did you have to use another app to trigger the frunk to open? My action button settings only lets me use it to open the Tesla app but not trigger an action like open the frunk.

You have to use the Shortcuts App on iPhone to create Open Test Frunk and then associate it with the action button. It's THE best use of the action button.
