Looks good. Have you seen the powered steps for pickup beds?

I used to laugh at people who wanted or installed bed steps on their pickups. I was a lot younger, then.

Non slip surfaces are very important, too.

I added a step to my B1700 a couple years ago...also raised the seat up some to give the legs a little more room...easier on the knees and hips...hate to give up the gear drive but an HST may be in my future...!
My Ram 1500 2021 had this step on it when I bought it. Maybe they are standard eq now. I use that thing all the time.

I found out last week that a Chevy 3/4 ton 4x4 without running boards, is impossible for me to get into.

- John Deere 160 (1988), Arctic Cat 400 ATV (2006), Kubota BX23S (2018), Jacobsen Super Chief 1450 (1969), Cub Cadet RZT S50 zero turn mower (2012)
My mobility limits, meant that when I bought my BX23S in 2018, I had a few fabrications added before delivery, the Dealer did that gratis 
- it's a small tractor to start with (no step options, at least at that time), but I could only manage about a 14" step up, so a non-slip step was made for me. It was designed so that IF I bought a mid mount mower in the future, there would be no issues with this step.
- I requested a grab bar on the left side also, so that I wasn't always yanking on the steering wheel. Now getting on the tractor is so much easier, safer, and no risk of breaking the steering. The grab bar was fabricated and bolted into the existing holes on the ROPS
- The foot pedals for direction were fitted with a steel plate to make things easier for me. The toe and heel operation is much easier, and there is no risk of my ankle getting stuck between the forward and reverse pedals.
Dealership relationships are all the difference.
