    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.

    Mounting brackets with a pivoting design fit easily onto vehicle body mount bolts or existing frame holes. A centralized control module is placed under hood for easy power connection to your vehicle's battery and comes complete with heavy grade wiring that runs through door ajar sensors, then through sill plates after drilling. Once underneath the vehicle, the wiring connects easily to power motors that mount directly onto bracket ends and to LED lights that secure to the vehicle frame with the use of double-sided tape. To ensure moving parts do not become compromised by mud and grit buildup, motors and pivot points are sealed with internal lubrication – making them virtually maintenance-free. Running boards on each side can support up to 300 pounds and textured surfaces give maximum grip, even when covered in mud, ice, snow, or rain.

    AMP Research also offers the Extension Arm Kit with four extension pieces that mount between the standard PowerStep mounting brackets and the running boards to create a step height that's two inches closer to the ground. The extension pieces fold out of the way when the boards retract, maintaining a side profile that is flush to the vehicle while providing added convenience for lifted trucks and passengers with difficulties climbing larger steps.

    For those that wish to add an elegant touch of brightwork to their running boards, AMP Research offers Stainless Steel Trim Strips in multiple lengths that slide easily onto the front edge of newer style running boards. For those that have older AMP Research running boards of a different shape that is not compatible with these trim strips, the Complete Stainless Steel Trim Upgrade Kit gives you new-style replacement running boards that bolt on easily to existing arm brackets. Replacement LED lights are also available in the event any on your vehicle should become damaged. AMP Research builds all components in the United States and backs them with a 5-year/60,000-mile warranty against failure due to manufacturing defects.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
