If you use your Flareside bed for actual work, you're climbing in and out on that rear step pad more than you'd think — and it shows. The rubber wears smooth, the black finish fades and cracks, and the non-slip texture that's supposed to keep your boot planted starts doing the opposite. A worn step pad isn't just a cosmetic eyesore on an otherwise clean truck; it's a foothold that can't be trusted.
Why Genuine OEM Matters
Step pads seem like a simple part, but fit and texture are everything here. Aftermarket pads are frequently molded to a generic shape that doesn't match the Flareside bed's exact contour, which means gaps, rattling, or a pad that doesn't sit flush. Worse, the non-slip pattern on cheaper reproductions is often shallower or wears down faster, defeating the whole point of the part. A Genuine OEM Ford step pad is manufactured to the same spec as what came on the truck from the factory — same shape, same black finish, same non-slip surface — so it fits right the first time and actually does its job.
