Imagine stepping on a nerf bar with high heels.įrom the brackets to the boards, these are built to hold twice as much as other steps. The step is 7 inches wide and convenient for any type of shoe. Light blue and Green wires will not be used otherwise. The LED's will shut off when the steps are hidden. AMP RESEARCH POWER STEP GMC / CHEVROLET IMPORTANT: Steps 21 and 22 are for Crew Cabs and SUV’s only. The ground and step will be illuminated in the dark. Its sleek design, all-weather performance and legendary reliability set the industry standard. You'll never have to worry about running boards bottoming out when taking a ride off the path.Ģ LED lights per side are provided with every purchase. AMP Research invented the PowerStep, the automatic, electric-powered running board that instantly extends when you open your door, and retracts out of sight when the doors close for improved ground clearance, aerodynamics and appearance. The AMP running boards tuck under the truck when they aren't in use. Most other steps rest 1-2 inches below the body and are just not as comfortable. A 5 Year/60,000 Mile Warranty is included.ĪMP running boards drop much lower than other steps. The electric step will close after a 3 second delay when the door closes. And the heavy-duty electric motor is designed and tested to provide reliable, maintenance-free operation for decades.ĪMP running boards automatically deploy when the door opens. Precision, stainless-steel hinge points and bearings ensure trouble-free action. The lightweight, yet rock-solid running board and rugged die-cast linkage components are crafted in the USA of aircraft-quality aluminum, black-anodized and PTFE coated for maximum corrosion protection. Invented, engineered and built in America, AMP Research PowerStep™ have been tested and proven in long-term, real-world, driving conditions performing flawlessly in snow, ice, dust, mud and dirt. The Lincoln Navigator first offered power running boards in 2003, and others have figured out that there’s no need for those air-grabbers to hang out in the wind.Fits 2020-2021 Chevy/GMC 2500/3500HD Extra Cab/Crew Cab AMP’s PowerStep™ technology has been utilized as a factory option since 2003.Īutomotive News reports on the importance of aerodynamics in new truck design: Ford and other manufacturers (under AMP license) offer power-operated running boards that deploy when the doors open and tuck back under the body when the doors close. 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. AMP Research invented the Power step, the automatic, electric-powered running board that instantly extends when you open your door and retracts out of sight.

AMP’s high-strength aluminum steps weigh 10-20% less than typical OEM running boards or aftermarket steel tube steps.ĪMP’s PowerStep™ running boards work automatically and improve safety and comfort while entering and exiting your truck. 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. 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.
