Overview
A truck's door sill gets a retractable step from these AMP Research boards, which deploy as the door opens and retract out of sight as it closes. They connect through plug-and-play wiring, and newer trucks use an OBD II module.
Unlike fixed boards, the PowerStep leaves the rocker panel clear when retracted, then gives a lit, slip-resistant step on demand. The install is the hurdle: the listing recommends a professional, and drilling is needed on select applications.
Who it's for
Owners of the named late-model GM trucks who want step access that does not hang below the body. Anyone who wants a bolt-on fixed board or a no-wiring install will find this more involved.
Pros and cons
- Deploys and retracts automatically
- LED lights illuminate the step
- Full mounting kit included
- Corrosion-resistant aluminum build
- Professional install recommended
- Drilling needed on some trucks
- Only named GM years fit
- Override switch is optional
Performance notes
The boards extend on door-open and retract on door-close, so ground clearance on the move is that of a bare rocker panel. The step surface is slip-resistant and rated per door, and corrosion-resistant aluminum with stainless steel hinge pins is used at wear points.
