AMP Research PowerStep XL For 2009-2015 RAM 1500 & 2010-2017 2500/3500

AMP Research set the standard for power-retractable running boards with the original PowerStep™ — and the PowerStep™ XL takes that proven design even further. Built specifically for oversized and heavily lifted applications, the XL delivers a more robust, rugged solution for trucks that need a little more reach.

Bigger Drop, Tougher Build
The PowerStep™ XL retains the same reliable power-retractable design as the standard PowerStep™, with key upgrades tailored for lifted rigs. A rugged protective housing encloses the boards when retracted, giving your build a more aggressive, purposeful appearance. Most notably, the XL drops an additional 4 inches lower than other PowerStep™ models — making entry and exit significantly easier on lifted trucks where the gap between ground and cab is most demanding.

Heavy-Duty Construction
Like every PowerStep™ variant, the XL is built entirely from die-cast aluminum — the ideal combination of exceptional strength and low weight. All aluminum components are anodized and finished with a military-grade PTFE (Teflon) coating to guard against surface corrosion and daily wear. The result is a step that's not only built to last, but rated to support up to 600 lbs. — far exceeding the capacity of traditional fixed side steps.

Integrated LED Lighting
Bright LED chips are integrated directly into the central rail of each board, casting a vibrant glow across the step surface and surrounding area. Whether you're loading up before sunrise or returning after a late trail run, the XL's courtesy lighting ensures confident, sure-footed entry every time.

Straightforward Installation
The PowerStep™ XL installs with a simple bolt-on design using existing holes in your vehicle's rocker panels. All hardware, wiring, and vehicle-specific instructions are included in the kit. Professional installation is recommended for best results.

Maintenance Notes

In muddy, salty, or dirty conditions, periodically clean all four linkage hinge points with a pressure washer — avoid spraying the motors directly. After washing, apply dry silicone spray to all four linkage arms and pivot pins, then cycle your door to work the lubricant into the hinge points. Do not apply grease, oil, WD-40, wax, Armor All®, or any penetrant to the step surface or motors.

Like all PowerStep™ products, the PowerStep™ XL is backed by an industry-leading 5-year limited warranty.
