While every pickup truck, Jeep, or SUV can benefit from a set of running boards, only some consumers enjoy the aesthetic. Luckily, AMP Research offers its patented PowerStep; a heavy-duty, power retractable running board that deploys when needed and retracts under the body when not in use. AMP Research utilizes only the finest materials, including die-cast aluminum and stainless steel for exceptional durability and corrosion resistance. The step's surface is treated with a military-grade PTFE coating, guarding the underlying alloy against oxidation and abrasions; the black finish also provides a sleek, discreet appearance. For ease of use, each PowerStep includes low-profile LED courtesy lights, illuminating the step surface and surrounding area to ease low-light entry. To simplify the installation process, each set of PowerSteps includes a vehicle-specific mounting kit, thorough instructions, and; if applicable, a plug-n-play OBD II module.

To ease entry into your ride without sacrificing aesthetics, consider AMP Research's PowerSteps.

Automatic Retracting Step

PowerSteps automatically deploy when the door opens and will retract after a 3 second delay when the door closes.

Lower Deployed Step

AMP Research PowerStep Running Boards drop much lower than other steps. Most stationary running boards rest 1-2 inches below the body and are often still too far from the ground to be convenient for many passengers.

Maximum Ground Clearance

The PowerStep Smart Series Running Boards tuck under the vehicle when retracted, providing amazing ground clearance while driving, and the functionality of a perfectly placed step when deployed.

Wide Step Surface

The board width is a massive 6 inches and perfect for any type of footwear.

Integrated LED Lighting

All PowerSteps Include two pairs of LED lights to illuminate the running board and ground below to maximize safety when entering and exiting your vehicle. The lighting will activate when the steps deploy and will shut off when the steps are retracted!

600 LB Load Capacity

From the brackets to the boards, each PowerStep Running Board features a 600 LB load capacity - that is twice the weight capacity as most other steps!
