Hi Marshall; our listing for the # C15005 has a tech tip saying it will not fit with the bed step. Although the Draw-Tite # 41913 doesn't have that same note, the hitch design and installation is basically identical. If the Curt doesn't fit I don't see this fitting either. Since it doesn't look like anyone makes a Class V that will accommodate the bed step that leaves you with removing the step to install the hitch or sticking with the factory hitch you already have.

Hey Robin. Thanks for the reply. If you could please update the listing to help others out, that would be awesome! Would hate for anyone else to take their truck apart and then find out the hard way too! Thank You!
