AMP Research 2018 Dodge Ram 1500/2500/3500 Regular/Crew/Mega Cabs PowerStep Plug N Play - Black

Upgrade your Dodge Ram with a sleek, functional solution that improves access without compromising appearance. The AMP Research PowerStep offers the convenience of automatic, power-deploying running boards that retract seamlessly under the body when not in use—perfect for truck owners who want clean looks with rugged utility.

Key Features & Benefits

• Automatic Operation: Running boards extend when doors open and retract when doors close, preserving ground clearance and styling.
• Premium Build: Lightweight, corrosion-resistant die-cast aluminum with stainless steel hinge pins for long-lasting durability.
• Military-Grade Coating: Features a black PTFE coating for superior protection against wear, oxidation, and harsh elements.
• Wide, Safe Step Surface: 6-inch wide cab-length boards with a textured, slip-resistant finish for secure footing—even in poor weather.
• Low-Profile LED Courtesy Lighting: Integrated lights illuminate the step area for safer entry in low-visibility conditions.
• Vehicle-Specific Fit: Includes a custom installation kit with mounting hardware, bracketry, wiring, and a Dodge-specific install guide.
• Plug-N-Play OBDII Integration: Newer applications connect via OBDII for simplified electrical integration (where applicable).

Professional Installation Recommended

Each PowerStep kit includes everything required for a complete install: two running boards, motors, brackets, hardware, wiring, and instructions. While the installation can be performed at home with mechanical experience, professional installation is recommended for optimal function and longevity.

Maintenance & Care

• Cleaning Tips: Keep the linkage arms (all four hinge points) clean by using a pressure washer. Avoid spraying motors directly.
• Lubrication: Use a dry silicone spray only on the linkage arms and pivot pins—do not use grease, oil, or protectants like Armor All®.
• Manual Deployment: To manually deploy the step, open the door, press down on the step with your foot, then close the door while maintaining pressure to keep the board extended for cleaning or inspection.

Why Choose AMP Research PowerStep?

The PowerStep is ideal for those who want functionality without sacrificing style. It retracts out of sight when not in use, improves ease of entry and exit—especially on lifted vehicles—and is backed by a limited 5-year warranty from RealTruck. Engineered with quality materials and smart design, it’s the running board upgrade your Ram 1500 deserves.
