![]() Aside from reducing clearance issues by tucking up neatly near the frame of the vehicle, the PowerStep also aids in reducing the aerodynamic drag created by traditional running boards or side steps that stay in a fixed position. After going to all of the trouble to increase ground clearance, having a step or slider that could potentially catch on rocks and ruts on the trail seems like a step backward.ĪMP Research offers a unique alternative to accessing lifted vehicles in its PowerStep, which is an electric-powered running board designed to extend when the door is opened and then hide out of sight once the door is shut. The problem is that many of these options hang quite a ways down below the frame of vehicle, thereby creating a potential rubbing/dragging issue when on the trail. Step options in the aftermarket for trucks, Jeeps and SUVs include a variety of running boards, individual steps for each side, and even some sliders can be used as steps (while also providing trail protection). There are a number of options for off-roaders looking to easily gain access into their lifted vehicle. AMP’s PowerStep™ technology has been utilized as a factory option since 2003.Now that you have a lifted vehicle, what’s the easiest way to get in and out of it? For guys, grabbing the handle and pulling yourself into the cabin may not be a big deal, but what about your wife or girlfriend? How do they get into the truck each time without a struggle? They may love the new height, but chances are they will – now or later – hate getting in and out of the truck. Closing the door automatically retracts the PowerStep™ into the rocker panels, eliminating the drag produced by traditional stationary running boards. They are activated by your truck’s factory door sensors and extend within a few seconds when you open the door. AERODYNAMICS UNDER THE VEHICLEĪMP’s PowerStep™ running boards work automatically and improve safety and comfort while entering and exiting your truck. AMP’s high-strength aluminum steps weigh 10-20% less than typical OEM running boards or aftermarket steel tube steps. Reducing the overall weight of your vehicle can also help improve gas mileage. The AMP Research PowerStep™ can do both, and still allow you to maintain the convenience and safety of full-length running boards that automatically deploy for optimal ingress and egress VEHICLE WEIGHT Since aerodynamic drag and weight are two critical factors that impact fuel efficiency, truck owners are now seeking ways to reduce these variables. There are few topics more rampant and heavily discussed than soaring gas prices, and the effect they have on today’s trucks & SUV’s.

Getting into your truck shouldn’t feel like climbing Mount Everest. That’s why AMP Research invented PowerStep, the automatic, electric-powered running board that instantly extends when you open your door, and then hides itself safely out of sight when the doors close for improved ground clearance, aerodynamics and appearance.
