Bestop TrekStep Rear Step

2009–2018 Dodge Ram 1500/2500/3500 (Various Engines) without Dual Exhaust

Part #: 75506-15

Overview

The Bestop TrekStep Rear Step is a rugged, practical solution designed to enhance access to the truck bed from the rear corner of your Dodge Ram. Many modern pickups feature a step indent in their bumpers, but these factory steps often lack stability and convenience. The TrekStep addresses this by providing a secure, easy-to-use stepping platform that improves safety and comfort when climbing into the bed.

Built for hardworking trucks, this rear step is ideal for Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 models from 2009 through 2018, specifically those without dual exhaust configurations. Whether you’re hauling gear, loading tools, or simply need better footing, the TrekStep delivers dependable performance and durability for daily use.

Key Features

Designed to combine functionality with durability, the Bestop TrekStep Rear Step offers several standout features:

• Heavy-duty steel construction ensures long-lasting strength and reliability
• Black powder-coat finish resists rust and corrosion, maintaining appearance over time
• Wide, textured stepping surface provides excellent traction for safety in all weather conditions
• Fits factory step indentations perfectly for a seamless, integrated look
• Compatible with Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 models from 2009 to 2018 without dual exhaust
• Simple bolt-on installation requires no welding or permanent modifications
• Supports stable footing for easier bed access, reducing risk of slips and falls

Construction & Design

The TrekStep is engineered from heavy-gauge steel to withstand the rigors of daily truck use. Its robust construction supports significant weight, making it a reliable stepping platform for loading and unloading cargo. The black powder-coat finish not only enhances corrosion resistance but also provides a sleek, matte appearance that complements the rugged styling of Dodge Ram trucks.

Attention to detail in design ensures the step fits precisely into the rear bumper’s factory step indent, preserving the truck’s original aesthetic while adding functional value. The textured surface is carefully crafted to maximize grip, even in wet or muddy conditions.

Installation & Fitment

Installation of the Bestop TrekStep Rear Step is straightforward and user-friendly. It mounts directly into the existing step indent on the rear bumper, requiring only basic hand tools and no welding or drilling. This bolt-on design allows for quick installation and removal if needed, without damaging the vehicle.

This step is specifically designed to fit 2009–2018 Dodge Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 models equipped with various engines including 5.7L Hemi, 4.7L V8, 5.9L Diesel, 6.7L Diesel, 3.0L EcoDiesel, 3.6L V6, and 6.4L 392, provided the truck does not have a dual exhaust system.
