AMP Research is the leading provider of power-retractable running boards, making waves with its best-selling PowerSteps. While providing sufficient assistance for most individuals, AMP Research has recently developed a beefier, lower-hanging iteration of its PowerStep: introducing the PowerStep XL from AMP Research!
These heavy-duty PowerSteps retain the same overall design as AMP's conventional retractable running boards; however, the company has retrofitted a few improvements geared toward oversized and heavily lifted applications. To begin, the PowerStep XL is AMP's lowest-hanging step yet, with the retractable running board dropping an additional 4 inches lower than the standard model! The surface is also 6 inches wide, making for a secure and stable step up into the cab.
Like the standard PowerSteps, the PowerStep XL is manufactured entirely from durable die-cast aluminum, ensuring maximum strength and minimum weight. All aluminum components are anodized and coated with a military-grade PTFE (Teflon), preventing surface corrosion. Due to the PowerStep XL's rugged alloy construction, these steps can withstand a whopping 600 pounds, far heavier than most retractable and stationary running boards!
For added convenience, these steps feature bright LED chips integrated into the central rail, casting a vibrant glow onto the step surface and surrounding area to ensure sure-footed entry, no matter the time of day.
For the ultimate blend of styling and convenience for your lifted pickup, check out the AMP Research PowerStep XL.

Automatic Retracting Step

600LB Load Capacity
From the brackets to the boards, each PowerStep XL Running Board features a 600 LB load capacity - that is twice the weight capacity as most other steps!

Lowest Deployed Step
PowerStep XL Running Boards drop 4" lower than the other PowerStep boards, making them perfect for lifted trucks or vehicles with higher ground clearance. Also, most stationary running boards rest 1-2 inches below the body and are often too far from the ground for many passengers.

Excellent Ground Clearance
The PowerStep XL Running Boards tuck into the rock rail when retracted, providing excellent ground clearance and light rocker panel protection while driving, and the functionality of a perfectly placed step when deployed.
