Not to disappoint OP, but to help others, you can get the AMP steps for $400 cheaper on RealTruck if you contact them via this forum (forum discount plus $100 AMP rebate).

How do you contact them via this forum?

Truck looks great. Have you tried to see if the bed camera view is interfered with when the tonneau is folded up and against the cab glass?

couple of things:

You should strongly consider black gloss vinyl wrapping your grill. It's cheaper and more durable than paint. I had a professional paint shop look at the grill and they were adamant that paint will not adequately stick to the type of plastic that it is and no amount of prep will make a good paint job for it. Black gloss vinyl wrap cost me 130 bucks and it still looks brand new.

Regarding your power steps, I think one of the reasons that Ford went with a fixed step was to somewhat mask the frame and the battery pack from the side. What are your thoughts on that? Have you noticed if your truck is less attractive or has unsightly frame/battery exposure from the side after removing the fixed step?

thanks

When I was shopping around to have it done, over a year ago, most shops didn’t want to do the vinyl. The guy that painted it added a hardener to the paint, so far I have very few knicks and those I do have are very small.

Regarding the power steps tucking and not hiding the battery/frame, it’s not really an issue. Unless I get down on the ground, I don’t notice the battery.
