Why a fold down STEP under the factory bed STEP? That ugly orange TREMOR decal on all colors, come on Ford.

It's so you don't notice the GM hole at the front of the bed...That fender badge is ridiculous.
I have 3 AMP fold down steps on my Tremor. I believe what ford has figured out is the new GM style cut out step is too high to comfortably step into and the AMP step is needed. But I am 6' tall, the AMP step gets me up enough to access what I need in the bed. It looks really peculiar to have both. I also agree the side vents look out of place. No, it's not a new look I will get comfortable with. Don't care for the wheels either. Just my thoughts.My only thought is, we havent seen this lower step in action, in a video, demonstrating it’s use. But as i said a few days ago when i saw it first on another photo, it does look weird as is.
Apparently they're too busy turning steering wheels in to tables...iMO this could have been done so easy and would have shown up GM as to show how you do a step
You could have made a lower step on hinges fold into the upper step pocket so when not in use would be the same body color as the truck and when you wanted to access the steps just push /pull a lever and the step would fold down. With what engineers can think of now of days this seems just Lazy to me
Confirmed my post was read... Makes me happyApparently they're too busy turning steering wheels in to tables...
I still believe, hopefully, that it is just on the prototype vehicles, not pre-production or production. Every one I have seen also has had other non-prod equipment (or something missing), test insignia, DOT markings, etc which is not indicative of production content.My only thought is, we havent seen this lower step in action, in a video, demonstrating it’s use.

Agreed. Same as the cockpit ladder on the A-6E Intruder I used to fly in the Navy. Even better, when the step folds down, you have access to a storage cubby. Two birds, one stone.iMO this could have been done so easy and would have shown up GM as to show how you do a step

I’m interested in seeing the side steps. I had trouble ordering them in Canada. I ordered something but yet to be determined. In Canada the online tool isn’t an option and unknowingly dealers are at a loss to be of much help.I have 3 AMP fold down steps on my Tremor.

Obviously I was wrong on this one:I still believe, hopefully, that it is just on the prototype vehicles, not pre-production or production.

The fact that it is on the build/price list is consistent with the lack of accuracy Ford has illustrated early on in past model years.
Lol. Poor design language either way.Obviously I was wrong on this one:
