If you're looking for running boards that do more than just look good, the AMP Research Powerstep Smart Series is where it’s at. These aren’t your run-of-the-mill steps; they’re packed with features that make getting in and out of your truck a breeze. Seriously, if you've ever struggled with traditional steps, you’ll appreciate the difference these make.

First off, let’s talk about build quality. These boards are made from heavy-duty alloy, featuring anodized cast-aluminum steps and stainless steel hinge pins that resist corrosion like a champ. They’re tough enough to handle whatever you throw at them, which is great if you're the adventurous type. Plus, with a military-grade PTFE coating, you won’t have to worry about wear and tear messing up their looks over time.

Now, accessibility is a big deal, and these boards deliver. With a full-length design and a generous 6-inch wide step, you get a solid platform to step on. They drop over a foot from the door sill on most applications, making it super easy to hop in, whether you’re driving a stock pickup or a lifted beast with oversized tires.

One of the coolest features? They automatically deploy when you open the door and retract when you close it. But wait, there’s more! The Smart Series comes with smartphone integration, so you can control the steps right from your phone. Need to deploy them for cleaning or lock them up while off-roading? Just pull out your smartphone and make it happen in seconds. It’s like having a personal assistant for your truck!

And if you’re wondering about safety, these boards come with integrated LED lights that illuminate the step and ground below when you deploy them. That’s a nice touch for those late-night adventures when you don’t want to trip on your way in or out.

Wide Step Surface

With a massive 6-inch width, these boards are perfect for any footwear—no more awkward stepping!

600 LB Load Capacity

Built to last, these steps can hold up to 600 pounds—twice what most other running boards can handle!

Maximum Ground Clearance

When retracted, they tuck neatly under your vehicle for awesome ground clearance while driving.

App Controllable Retracting Step

These steps automatically deploy when you open the door and retract after a short delay, but you can also control them via the app!

Lower Deployed Step

These steps drop lower than most stationary boards, making entry and exit way easier for everyone.

Integrated LED Lighting

With built-in LED lights, you’ll have a well-lit area for safe entry and exit, even in the dark.

Features:

  • Power-retractable running boards for easy access
  • Smartphone app for remote operation
  • Heavy-duty construction that’s built to last
  • Corrosion-resistant materials for durability
  • Anodized finish with military-grade PTFE coating
  • Extra-wide 6" step surface
  • Textured, non-slip surface
  • Integrated LED lights for nighttime safety
  • Includes all necessary installation hardware
  • Simple plug-and-play wiring for easy integration
  • 5-year limited warranty for peace of mind

These running boards are an easy install with the right tools. They come with vehicle-specific mounting brackets and a plug-and-play wiring harness, so you won’t need to do too much cutting or splicing. Just a heads up: if you’re not super comfortable with wiring, it’s probably best to let a pro handle the installation. And if you need a little help, check out our video guides!
