Common Questions
Does this fit my 3.0L EcoDiesel?
No. AMP Research's own documentation confirms this BedStep does not fit models equipped with the 3.0L L4 Diesel engine, regardless of exhaust configuration.
Is this for the driver side or passenger side?
Driver side only. Confirm the correct passenger side part number separately if you need both sides.
How do I know if I have dual exhaust?
Check the rear of your truck for two exhaust tips/outlets rather than one. Single-exhaust DS or Classic models require a different BedStep SKU — this unit is dual exhaust compatible only.
What years does the Classic cover exactly?
Authorized sources are inconsistent — ranges from 2019–2020 through 2019–2024 appear across different distributors. Confirm your exact Classic model year before ordering.
Does installation require drilling?
Most applications are bolt-on using existing mounting points. Some applications may require minor drilling — confirm with the installation guide for your specific configuration.
The Obsidian Take
The BedStep (75325-01A) is for the dual-exhaust Ram 1500 DS or Classic DS owner who wants reliable, driver-side foot-activated bed access without exhaust clearance conflicts — die-cast aluminum, glass-reinforced step pad, 300-lb rating, 3-year warranty.
Three things to confirm before ordering, all of which your original spec sheet missed or understated. First — confirm dual exhaust, not single. Second — confirm you do not have the 3.0L L4 Diesel engine, which is excluded regardless of exhaust setup. Third — confirm this is the driver side you need, since this SKU does not cover the passenger side.
Non-Returnable Notice: Once installed, this unit is non-returnable per AMP Research policy. Confirm exhaust configuration, engine type, and side (driver vs. passenger) before ordering.
