Anyone had to replace a retracting step. On a 4th Gen Expy? My wife decided to run over a boulder at Target, broke the rear bracket and crunched the step. Just wondering what the cost may be. Could always ask the dealer but wondering if there’s another avenue…thanks.

The last time I knew anything about Ford power step replacements, Ford was selling each side step as a complete unit: step, motor and idler. You could research the cost of buying the part and installing it yourself, but it being a large package, any savings will likely be eaten up with shipping costs. A body shop can give you an estimate as well. They get a discount on the part and don't have to mark it up as high as a dealer might. And that's assuming that they can get the part and schedule the work faster than the dealer. Option three might be to check with late model truck recyclers. If you don't mind working on your back, it should not be a difficult R&R process.

Wait, one of the Target boulders? Like those big red balls out front? Please say you have photos if so... This is just your insurance deductible were talking about here, no?

That was the first thing I thought, those are like 3' in diameter!

I'd make an insurance claim. Let a professional body shop handle it.

My father inlaw has this problem on his platinum f150. The dealership quoted $2,000 per step. That's parts and labor.

Just installed Amp Research‘s aftermarket electric retractable steps myself on my 2021 F250 Tremor. They come as a complete kit with both steps and everything you need to install these yourself. I am a believer in stock equipment being of superior quality most of the time, but that is not the case with this product, in fact, they are superior to the stock equipment in my opinion. So this is another option as well.

Smart move buying your truck w/o factory power steps. I had them on my 2010 F-150 that I drove for nine years with only the controller going bad. I do know for sure that AMP sells individual parts where Ford will not--they only sell the entire side. Unfortunately our current vehicle came with Ford power steps standard.

Check here at Fords official parts website www.Parts.Ford.Com for the price and you can order though here as well and ship to home or a dealer. I entered "step" into the search area and it shows all the parts depending on your options.
