If you’re looking to step up your truck game, let me tell you about the AMP Research PowerStep. This isn’t just any running board; it’s a heavy-duty, power-retractable step that’s built to last. I mean, we’re talking die-cast aluminum and stainless steel here—these materials are tough enough to handle whatever life throws at them, and they resist corrosion like a champ. The military-grade PTFE coating keeps everything looking sharp and protects against the elements. Plus, that sleek black finish? It’s all about keeping things low-key while still looking good.

One of the coolest features is how these steps automatically deploy when you open the door. No more awkward climbing or straining to get in. And they retract back under the body when you close the door, which means you won’t have to worry about them getting in the way or snagging on anything. They drop lower than most stationary boards, making it easier for everyone to hop in, especially if you’ve got kids or anyone who might need a little help.

Now, let’s talk about safety. Each PowerStep comes with low-profile LED lights that light up the step and ground below. It’s super handy for those late-night entries when you might not want to trip over your own feet. And with a 6-inch wide step surface, you’ve got plenty of room for all types of footwear—no slipping and sliding here.

Another thing I love? These steps have a load capacity of 600 pounds. That’s right, you can trust these boards to handle you and your gear without a hitch. They’re built tough, and you can feel confident stepping on them.

Installation is pretty straightforward, too. Each set comes with a vehicle-specific mounting kit and instructions, plus a plug-and-play OBD II module if your ride needs it. Sure, I’d recommend getting a pro to install them if you’re not the DIY type, but if you’re handy, you can absolutely tackle this at home. Just grab the right tools, and you’ll be good to go.

Here’s the fitment scoop: these PowerSteps fit a bunch of Ram models from 2016 to 2017, including the 1500, 2500, and 3500. So if you’ve got one of those, you’re in luck. Just check your specific model to make sure everything lines up.

In short, if you want a solid step that combines functionality with style, the AMP Research PowerStep is a no-brainer. It’s built for real-world use and looks great doing it.
