Product Details

6.25" PowerStep XL™ Black Running Boards by AMP Research®. The board has been integrated into a custom rocker rail, creating a seamless look while providing a 3” lower stepping surface than the original PowerStep™ that makes accessing lifted trucks easier. With an integrated LED lighting system the PowerStep XL™ is clearly the quality choice. High-grade aluminum construction with powder coat finish ensures strength and freedom from corrosion, plus OEM-quality hardware with durable seals ensures long-lasting, smooth operation. Invented, engineered and built in America, AMP Research PowerStep XL™, automatic, electric-powered running boards are the real deal.

Add the ultimate touch of luxury to your pickup truck or sport utility vehicle with stylish, power-operated running boards that extend outward when you need them, then retract neatly out of sight underneath your vehicle when you don’t. AMP Research has engineered and built all fixed and moving PowerStep™ components to very high standards – so much so that Ford and General Motors offer these very running boards as an OEM factory option on their own vehicles. They are perfect for 4x4 owners who need maximum ground clearance during off-roading and for those who prefer not to alter the original lines of their vehicle with fixed running boards. Whatever the length of your truck’s cab, AMP Research offers running boards sized to fit your make and model that achieve an OEM-quality fit.

Amp Research PowerStep XL™ Running Boards take the style and convenience of traditional running boards to the next level. As the name implies, these automated boards extend when your cab door is opened and tuck away when the door is shut. The extending and retracting happens quickly - in less than a second - so you're not waiting around. Unlike the base PowerStep™ model, these are designed to hang even lower - making them great for lifted trucks.

The running boards are made with durable, die-cast aluminum and capable of supporting up to 600 pounds of weight. The steps boast a textured powder coat finish that resists rust and corrosion and helps with foot traction. The steps are powered by a weather proof motor with equally weatherproof wiring. The steps' stainless steel pivot pins are maintenance-free, too. Most applications feature an easy to follow plug-and-play installation using your truck's diagnostic (OBD-II) port. Plug-and-play applications also feature a pass through adapter so you can still use the port for other hardware. All applications come with detailed installation instructions.

No Bulky Steps Hanging Down
I hate the look of big old fixed running boards hanging down which is why I went with these. They tuck up completely when not in use, but drop down just right when you need them. Wife and kids love them, I love that I don't gotta hear "why's your truck so damn tall" every time we go somewhere. Installing these was not fun. Wiring took long, the instructions aren't the greatest. Had to dig around online to double check a few things.

Excellent Quality and Function
Plenty of stepping room. Quality black finish, looks sleek against my F-150. The cab length coverage is great for all doors. No problem holding me, I'm about 200 lbs.

Definitely recommend
I've got a lifted 2025 Tahoe and these steps look and work great on it. My girlfriend used to struggle climbing in but now it's a breeze. They deploy without any issues and feel robust. Wiring was a bit of a hassle but once done no complaints.

No More Complaints from the Wife
My truck's lifted and my wife used to hate getting in. No complaints now, these steps saved me from hearing about it every time we went somewhere! Installing them took me a while, not exactly beginner friendly, but the instructions were clear enough to follow.

Smooth Access Upgrade
This step is wide and makes it easy to get in and out of the Sprinter even with work boots. It's long enough to cover both the front and sliding doors. It doesn't stick out, so no worries about hitting anything. The deployment is smooth.

Worth Every Penny
These steps are awesome. I drive a 2003 Dodge Ram and getting in was a chore after lifting it. Problem solved now. I didn't think I'd care about the lights but they're actually really helpful at night. The steps are pricey but honestly they're worth it for the convenience.

Great
My wife and kids had trouble climbing into our Transit. This running board solved that problem. It's wide enough for stability and retracts smoothly when the door closes. Everyone's happy now. I had a pro handle the installation.

Great for My Work Truck
Installed these on my 2016 sierra 3500 and honestly they're totally worth the price for how much easier they make access. The install was a bit tricky but once it was done everything worked like a charm. The width is perfect for stability, the motorized step is smooth.

Solid Investment
Love these running boards! They look sleek, the step is wide enough and sturdy. Took about 4 hours to install the running boards with my buddy, who's way more handy than me. It isn't the easiest DIY project but really manageable.

Good
Got these steps on in no time. Installation instructions were clear. They look so good! Pop out fast when the door opens. The surface has enough traction, mud, rain, no slip.
