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. AERODYNAMICS UNDER THE VEHICLEĪMP’s PowerStep™ running boards work automatically and improve safety and comfort while entering and exiting your truck. AMP’s high-strength aluminum steps weigh 10-20% less than typical OEM running boards or aftermarket steel tube steps. Luckily, AMP Research offers its patented power step a heavy-duty, power retractable running board that deploys when needed and retracts under the body when. 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 VEHICLE WEIGHT 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.
