AMP Research PowerStep XTreme

Love the convenience of power-retractable running boards but need something built to handle more? The AMP Research® PowerStep™ XTreme takes everything that made the original PowerStep™ great and engineers it tougher, stronger, and more capable for the harshest environments on the planet. The PowerStep™ XTreme earns its name with a standout feature no other OBD-II powered running board can match — a Dual-Motor design with two motors per side. Where standard PowerStep™ models rely on a single motor, the XTreme's dual-motor setup delivers superior strength and reliability, making it the ideal choice for drivers who regularly face extreme climates, heavy off-road use, or punishing weather conditions. A rigid cast aluminum construction with stainless steel hinge pins rounds out the heavy-duty build, giving the XTreme the structural integrity to take far more abuse than conventional power running boards. All aluminum components are anodized before receiving a military-grade PTFE coating, creating a layered defense against corrosion, oxidation, and surface wear — whether you're dealing with road salt, mud, or constant moisture exposure. The PowerStep™ XTreme also features an extra-wide 6-inch, non-slip step surface for maximum traction in any conditions, along with integrated LED convenience lights that illuminate automatically when the steps deploy — lighting up the step surface and surrounding area to prevent slips and ensure safe, confident entry and exit regardless of the time of day. PowerStep™ XTreme running boards are vehicle-specific for a precise, factory-style fit. On compatible newer applications, a Plug-N-Play harness connects directly to your vehicle's OBD-II port for a straightforward, no-splice installation. Like all PowerStep™ products, the PowerStep™ XTreme is backed by an industry-leading 5-year limited warranty.

To keep your PowerStep™ XTreme operating smoothly, periodic cleaning is recommended — or any time debris buildup is suspected. To prepare for cleaning, manually set the boards to the deployed position by opening the door, placing firm foot pressure on the step, and closing the door while maintaining that pressure. This will hold the steps in the deployed position for easy access to the linkage points. Using a pressure washer, thoroughly clean all four linkage hinge points — the front and rear linkages on each side. Avoid spraying the motors directly. Once clean, apply dry silicone spray lubricant to all four linkage arms and all pivot pins, including any pins located higher up on the linkage arm. Cycle the door afterward to work the lubricant into the hinge points. Do not apply silicone, wax, or protectants such as Armor All® to the step surface. Do not lubricate with grease, oil, WD-40, or any penetrant. Installation AMP Research PowerStep™ XTreme running boards include everything needed to get the job done — all hardware, brackets, and vehicle-specific instructions are provided in the kit. Note that installation does require some drilling and wire splicing, so professional installation is recommended. For additional guidance, a video installation guide is also available.
