Stepside beds might look OK for some peeps, but really it is a huge design flaw. Wasted space, for 1 thang. I'd rather have the most cargo area.

I agree that it limits the cargo space but the largest thing I haul is my motorcycle which fits nicely in the back.

I like the stepside alot, very easy to get in and out. Also I can rest a bike on the side of the bed and place two bugie cords on that one side, and the bike will stand straight up no matter what. All I do and rotate the front wheel 180degrees so I can put my tailgate up. You CANT do that in a styleside cause of the wheel wells. :P

My dream truck when I was a teenager was a stepside extended cab ranger, I've always loved the stepsides. Now that mines lifted having the steps on the side are a huge help when washing it.
