U.S. CERTIFIED ALUMINUM

High-strength, U.S. certified aluminum-alloy is used to manufacture our die-cast linkage components and then anodized and Teflon® coatings are applied to a military specification to resist corrosion. Precision-fit, zero-maintenance stainless-steel pivot pins rotate on self-lubricating composite bushings. Components are subjected to and pass a battery of environmental and durability tests including brutal 1000 hour salt spray tests.

OEM QUALITY

To meet the quality standards of GM, Ford, Chrysler, Mopar, Toyota and Nissan, AMP Research is ISO 9001 with Design certified.

Covered by 16 patents, the AMP Research PowerStep™ features weatherproof OEM-quality motors, wiring harness and sealed connectors. The AMP-designed electronic controller employs pressure-sensitive, pinch-proof safety technology.

Extruded, 6063-aluminum step boards have two internal ribs for added stiffness and rigidity and are given a high-traction powder coat finish maximum grip and durability–and a 600 Lb load capacity for each side.

Each AMP Research PowerStep™ kit includes two full-length running boards assemblies for both driver and passenger sides, two electric motors, electronic controller, wiring harness, all necessary mounting hardware and an integrated, low-profile, LED light system – all standard.

AERODYNAMICS

AMP RESEARCH POWERSTEP INCREASES FUEL EFFICIENCY

There are few topics more rampant and heavily discussed than soaring gas prices, and the effect they have on today’s trucks & SUV’s. Since aerodynamic drag and weight are two critical factors that impact fuel efficiency, truck owners are now seeking ways to reduce these variables. 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

Reducing the overall weight of your vehicle can also help improve gas mileage. AMP’s high-strength aluminum steps weigh 10-20% less than typical OEM running boards or aftermarket steel tube steps.

AERODYNAMICS UNDER THE VEHICLE

AMP’s PowerStep™ running boards work automatically and improve safety and comfort while entering and exiting your truck. They are activated by your truck’s factory door sensors and extend within a few seconds when you open the door. Closing the door automatically retracts the PowerStep™ into the rocker panels, eliminating the drag produced by traditional stationary running boards. AMP’s PowerStep™ technology has been utilized as a factory option since 2003.

TUCK AND RUN

Automotive 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. 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.
