I got a hitch step for my 2013, there's two from "heininger" on Amazon. I got the normal one for $55 and it makes a perfect step up into the bed, and supports my weight just fine (about 300 lbs). It comes out just to the end of the tailgate when it's down, so you can't really use it as a step getting down though.
If you wanted it to come out a little bit further, and also be a step down, or if your climbing in the bed a lot and don't want to potentially hit your shin on the tailgate they also make an xl one that's a few inches longer, but costs twice as much.
Either way these steps are significantly cheaper than buying a tailgate with the step built in, and has come in handy more than I thought it would.
