Mopar has announced the newest in a lineup of over 600 quality-tested, factory-backed parts, and accessories available for the RAM lineup. The new center bed step is designed to fit specifically with the multifunction tailgate to greatly improve ingress and egress to the bed.

The bed step (Part # 82216265AB) is available as a Mopar accessory and carries a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $395 USD or $571 (CDN), it will also be available as a standalone option, or as part of the Bed Utility Group on 2021 Ram 1500s with the multifunction tailgate.

Mopars’ newest bed step is rated for 350 lbs., is made from a high strength aluminum with a black e-coat finish, and are warrantied for two years/unlimited miles from the date of purchase or up to the remainder of the new vehicle’s warranty of 3-years/36,000 miles.

“Mopar offers more than 600 quality-tested, factory-backed parts, and accessories across the entire Ram lineup,” said Mark Bosanac, Head of Mopar Service, Parts and Customer Care, FCA – North America. “Our retractable bed step further enhances the convenience and utility of Ram’s industry-leading cargo management and storage system.”

The multifunction tailgate is able to drop as a standard tailgate but also features an industry-first 60/40 split design that can open almost 90-degrees to each side. We have been able to spend time with various Ram 1500s with the multifunction tailgate over the past year and have always been impressed with the extra ease of access to the bed, making it a worthwhile option.
