AMP Research PowerStep™ Running Boards | Power Retractable Side Steps

Description

Upgrade your truck, Jeep, or SUV with the AMP Research PowerStep™, the original power retractable running board designed for performance, durability, and style. Unlike bulky fixed steps, the PowerStep™ deploys automatically when you open the door and retracts seamlessly under the body when not in use—offering the perfect balance of function and aesthetics.

Engineered with die-cast aluminum alloy and stainless steel for unmatched strength, these steps are finished with a military-grade PTFE black coating for corrosion resistance and abrasion protection. The wide, 6-inch textured step surface provides secure footing, while integrated low-profile LED courtesy lights make entry and exit safe even in low-light conditions.

Each set comes complete with a vehicle-specific mounting kit, detailed installation guide, and Plug-N-Play OBDII module (on select applications). Backed by an industry-leading 5-year limited warranty, the AMP Research PowerStep™ is the premium choice for convenience and rugged reliability.
