You're trying to mix an apple and an orange

The '08 Super Duty's have the tailgate with the step and that old-man looking cane. Won't fit on an F-150, completely different body.

he's talking about this feature on the new Super Dutys. The cap of the tail gate slides out forming a step and a handle built into the gate pops up to assist getting up and down.



I like the collapsible gate extender and would like to see it in the next F150.

To the original poster. Since it is not possible to adapt the F250 tailgate to the F150 maybe this could be a solution. Its made by Amp Research.



Its manually operated with your foot, made from aluminum, and can handle 300lbs.
