FREE SHIPPING when you order now! The AMP Research PowerStep™ works practically like magic! It’s not actually magic but powered by electric motors that quickly extend from under the vehicle to allow an easier step up into your vehicle whenever a door is opened. When the door is closed, the PowerStep again automatically retracts back out of the way under your vehicle. AMP Research Powersteps work in all types of weather and all types of terrain. The Amp Research Powerstep is an attractive and popular addition on lifted vehicles as well as luxury SUV’s. We also like that for safety, bright LED Lighting is included with each PowerStep.
The AMP Research PowerStep is a great choice for your vehicle. With solid construction, advanced electronics, LED Lighting, a great warranty, they are hard to beat. We should mention that each PowerStep can supports up to 600 lbs. Plus with have anti-pinch guards, Amp Research Powersteps can avoid damage if the steps were to close on an obstruction.
Proven to Perform The AMP Research PowerStep™ has been vigorously tested and proved its reliability in lengthy, real-world, driving conditions. It has exhibited impeccable performance in snow, ice, dust, mud, and dirt. The light but sturdy running boards with rugged die-cast linkage components are manufactured in the United States of America. Those components are made out of aircraft-grade aluminum alloy, black-anodized and Teflon® coated for maximum corrosion protection. Precise, stainless-steel hinge points and bearings ensure smooth action. The durable electric motor is designed and tested to provide reliable operation for decades.
Unique Among It's Competitors AMP Research created the automatically deployed running board, so don't be tricked by an inferior competitor – There is only one PowerStep™ and it has the AMP Research name on it.
Aerodynamics Under the Vehicle AMP's PowerStep™ running boards work naturally and heighten safety and comfort while boarding and exiting your truck. Amp Research Powersteps are initiated by your vehicle's factory door sensors and quickly extend when you open the door. Closing the door sends another signal to the PowerStep™ and it retracts into the rocker panels, getting rid of the drag created by conventional fixed position running boards. AMP's PowerStep™ technology has been included as a factory option since 2003.
Aerodynamics AMP RESEARCH POWERSTEP INCREASES FUEL EFFICIENCY -Soaring gas prices are a heavily discussed topic among today's truck and SUV owners. It is often a source of frustration due to the fact that trucks and SUVs do not get very good gas mileage in relation to other types of vehicles. Aerodynamic drag and weight are two important variables that directly impact fuel economy and truck owners are now seeking ways to reduce these factors. The AMP Research PowerStep™ can do both, yet still allow you to maintain the advantage and safety of full-length running boards that automatically deploy for optimal entry to and exit from your vehicle.
Vehicle Weight A reduction in the overall weight of your truck or SUV helps to improve fuel economy. AMP's powerful aluminum steps weigh 10-20% less than average OEM running boards or aftermarket steel tube steps.
Tuck and Run Automotive News outlines the value of aerodynamics in new truck design: Ford and other manufacturers (under AMP licensing) offer automatic running boards that extend when the doors open and tuck themselves back under the body when the doors close. The Lincoln Navigator was the first to offer power running boards back in 2003, and others have since figured out that there's no need for the extra drag created by traditional steps.
