If you’re in the market for running boards that can handle a bit of rough and tumble while still giving you that sweet convenience of power deployment, check out the AMP Research PowerStep Xtreme Running Boards. These aren’t just any running boards; they’re built tough and designed for folks who really use their trucks. Think of them as the big brother to the original PowerStep, but with some serious upgrades.

First off, let’s talk materials. These boards are made from cast aluminum, which means they’re ready to take on whatever Mother Nature throws at them—rain, snow, mud, you name it. The stainless steel hinge pins add extra durability, and the whole setup gets anodized with a military-grade PTFE coating to keep corrosion at bay. So, whether you’re parked by the beach or tackling a muddy job site, you can trust these boards to hold up.

Now, about that step surface—it's a generous 6 inches wide. Seriously, this is perfect for any footwear, whether you're in boots or flip-flops. Plus, AMP Research has added some bright LED lights that kick on when the steps deploy, so you won’t be fumbling around in the dark when you’re getting in or out of your truck. Safety first, right?

What really sets the Xtreme apart is the dual-motor setup. This means the boards deploy and retract with some serious power. They drop lower than your average running board, making it a lot easier for everyone to hop in and out. And if you’re worried about weight, these bad boys can handle up to 600 pounds—double what most other steps can manage. So, whether you’ve got gear or friends with you, you’re covered.

Installation? It’s pretty straightforward. They come with all the necessary hardware and specific instructions for your vehicle, and newer models even connect right to your OBDII port with a plug-and-play harness. Just a heads up, some drilling and wire splicing will be involved, so if that’s not your thing, you might want to have a pro handle it.
