Sweet, glad you were able to find one for descent price.  Mine hardly ever gets used; I always seem to be climbing in the bed from passenger side for some reason haha.

Mine was finally delivered.  Got it installed this evening.  I also installed a cargo light switch while back there.  Also installed a set of oem led tail lights that I picked up super cheap from a cu

I use mine all the time. I pulled a muscle in my leg last year. It bothered me for about 6 months. I wouldn't have been able to get in or out of the box w/o it.

I know it's an old thread, but ebays got a bunch for around $90-$100. Just make sure you get one with the mounting bracket and hardware. Should be good to go.

I'm surprised @ the need for 1. I'm 63 & 6' 2" & just use the stake pockets as a hand hold & the bumper recesses as a step. When I saw the K2XX the rear stake pockets w/ an angled side in addition to the redesigned bumper, I thought, "Someone who has actually used a truck was thinking".

At 75 and 5' 5", things get tougher. 🙂

I had a rental GMC Sierra this week and it had one. I liked it so I may look for a decent deal on one bought one on eBay for $97 shipped. My truck has the threaded hole.

 

FWIW, for those that don't have the one threaded hole, I don't see why a Rivnut/Nutsert wouldn;t work. Has anyone tried that?

I ordered this one last Saturday, it shipped from NJ and arrived today in TX. Installation took less than 10 minutes. It was well packaged, included all of the necessary hardware and appeared to be new and not previously installed. I have the Retrax MX Pro retractable tonneau cover and the railing partially covers the stake pocket so this makes getting in and out much safer and easier as well as reducing the risk of breaking a finger or two if I was to loose my balance with my fingers in the stake pocket when climbing in or out.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍

      Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
