PowerStep Electric Running Boards suits Chev 2500 (2023+), 1500 (2019-2024) by AMP Research
Every truck, Jeep®, or SUV can benefit from a set of running boards. However, only some consumers enjoy the aesthetics. For those who prefer clean, streamlined looks, AMP Research® offers its patented PowerStep™. These heavy-duty, power retractable running boards offer the best of both worlds, deploying when needed and retracting under the body when not in use to preserve looks and ground clearance.
As the pinnacle of quality, AMP Research utilizes only the finest materials in its PowerStep line. Die-cast aluminum boards offer exceptional strength at a low weight, while stainless steel hinge pins and hardware deliver unmatched 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.
AMP Research PowerStep running boards make entering and exiting even the tallest vehicles a breeze. Featuring extra-wide, 6-inch, non-slip step tread, AMP PowerSteps promote traction in even the worst weather conditions. The integrated low-profile LED courtesy lights illuminate the step surface and surrounding area to ease entry in low-visibility conditions. As a bonus, PowerStep drops far lower than traditional fixed-position running boards, giving passengers a much-needed boost.
To simplify the installation process, each set of PowerStep running boards includes a vehicle-specific mounting kit, thorough instructions, and—if applicable—a plug-n-play OBD II module. Each mounting kit contains all necessary mounting brackets, hardware, wiring accessories, and instructions.
To ease entry into your ride without sacrificing aesthetics, consider PowerStep running boards by AMP Research—a RealTruck brand. We back each PowerStep order with a limited 5-year warranty.
