Automatic. Electric-Powered. The Legendary Standard for Heavy-Duty Performance.
The Ultimate Entry & Exit SolutionGetting into your truck shouldn't feel like climbing Mount Everest. The AMP Research PowerStep is the premium, electric-powered running board that instantly extends when you open your door, providing a natural step height for you and your passengers.
When the doors close, the steps retract safely out of sight, preserving your Ram’s ground clearance, aerodynamics, and sleek appearance. Specifically engineered for the Ram 1500 Classic and Heavy Duty 2500/3500 models, these boards set the industry standard for reliability and "wow factor."
The Problem & The Solution:The Pain: Lifted heavy-duty trucks are difficult for family members to enter, and traditional fixed boards look bulky, reduce clearance, and can be a reach.
The AMP Solution: An automatic, hidden step that drops lower than factory boards when needed and vanishes when the truck is in motion.
Key Features: Precision Engineering
Simplified wiring harness connects directly to the OBD-II port, making installation faster and eliminating the need for complex wire splicing.
High-strength, die-cast aluminum alloy components allow each step to support a massive 600 lbs on both sides.
Integrated LED lights illuminate the step and the ground below, providing safety and visibility during late-night entry.
The durable black textured finish provides a non-slip surface and superior corrosion resistance against snow, ice, and mud.
Maintenance-free, self-lubricating bushings and stainless steel pivot pins ensure smooth operation for the long haul.
Electric motors automatically stop the step if an obstruction is detected, ensuring safety for pets and children.
Built for the Long HaulAMP Research doesn't cut corners. The PowerStep is designed and engineered in the USA to handle the rigors of heavy-duty truck use. Its military-grade construction ensures it performs whether you're on the job site or the trail.
600 lbs Capacity Plug-N-Play Install Style LED Lights Included 5 Year Warranty
"The best upgrade I've put on my Ram 2500. My wife and kids can finally get in without a struggle. The Plug-N-Play harness made the install a breeze—took me less than two hours. They are rock solid and the LED lights look amazing at night."

CA Residents: ⚠️ WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm - www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
Gas engine Ram trucks have exhaust components or sensors that sit in the path where the PowerStep linkage mounts. A relocation kit moves these components slightly to allow the steps to retract fully without interference.
No. In fact, it is much easier than standard electric steps. By plugging into the OBD-II port, the system reads the door signal digitally, saving you from having to pull apart door panels to tap into individual wires.
No. This kit is specifically for the Classic (DS) 1500 and the Heavy Duty (2500/3500) models. The new body style 1500 has a different frame and wiring architecture.
Most fixed side steps are rated for 300–400 lbs. AMP Research PowerSteps are over-engineered with high-strength linkages to handle 600 lbs on each side, making them the most robust option for heavy-duty truck owners.
Yes. AMP tests these in extreme cold. The high-torque motors are designed to push through moderate ice, and the anti-pinch technology will stop the motor safely if there is excessive blockage to prevent damage.

Prop 65 Warning- Product may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
Proposition 65 is a California law passed in 1986. Its goals are to protect drinking water sources from toxic substances that may cause cancer and birth defects and to reduce or eliminate exposures to those chemicals generally, for example in consumer products, by requiring warnings in advance of those exposures.
The regulation requires the State of California to revise and republish yearly a list of chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. The current list contains over 900 naturally occurring and synthetic chemicals. This regulation also requires manufacturers to place warnings on products that contain any of the chemicals listed by the State of California. No other states require warnings of this nature, and products with Prop 65 warning language are legal to sell in all states. Detailed information regarding requirements for compliance to the California Prop. 65 is can be found at: www.P65Warning.ca.gov

The wait time was more than I anticipated even after seeing the notification of long lead times. I have to give them props for giving some compensation for the excessive wait time. Having slightly larger holes would help with fitment. Had a hard time getting the front drivers side away from the pinch weld. Eventually had to use washers to add space away from the truck. Need to update pictures and instalation video for the new sliders they are now making
All packing and shipment were great, everything was there. I had to contract out the install because of arthritis, it took them two hours and looks perfect. Zero wind noise at any speed 0 to 100.
Absolutely love my new rack and roam cases. Appreciate the Sherpa crew as well for their hospitality while the installation was taking place.
Fit and finish is excellent. Looks great on the Bronco. No whistling noise at all, some additional wind noise over 60mph but not much different than it was without the rack. Assembly was not too difficult. Instructions and videos could be a little better.
The quality and dedication of the team at Sherpa is evident from the very first interaction with them, and is further proven in the product itself. This rack is well engineered, easy to assemble, easy to adjust, and holds up incredibly well with no loosening or rattling or shifting (even after over 200 miles of driving on poorly maintained roads). Currently operating with approximately 180 pounds of gear mounted on the bed rack and no issues at all so far. I expected the vibration to work the bolts loose over time, but every time I check they're all still snug. My only regret is that I didn't pull the trigger and get this rack sooner.
First of all, the team at Sherpa is full of passion for adventure and that passion shows in the quality of their products. This roof rack looks incredible and surprised me with it's sturdiness. No loosening of hardware, even after weeks of driving. Currently holding approximately 80 pounds of gear for everyday driving, plus an additional 110 strapped on top during a camping trip (and I even stood on top of the entire loadout). No warping, bending, twisting, or slipping. The fact that this matches the bed rack perfectly in height is the icing on the cake. Easily serves as a tie off for a tarp, rain fly, hammock, or whatever you need. Perfect for modular campsite setup and quick teardown.
I bought the Sherpa Crestone rack for my 2024 4Runner TRD Pro. Incredibly well-made and excellent design. Spend the extra , to get best roof rack in the market. You won’t regret it.
This is our first roof rack that we are going to use to put a RRT (roof top tent) on for back country trips. Well-built product that came with all the nuts, bolts and washers to complete the installation. Took about 1-1/2 to 2 hours install the rack. You will another person to help place the racks on top of the Jeep for final install. Overall, a great, well-built American product
Install was super easy. The quality was great. Customer service was quick to respond to any issues! I’ve already been getting compliments on it and what brand it is. This will be great for camping this year!
This is on my tundra absolutely solid rack looks fantastic extremely modular, which is why I went this route. I can use the whole rack when traveling and over landing then rock the chase rack only when the rest is not in use, I actually use the recovery traction board mounts for my shower room set up, which works amazingly just relocated the board somewhere shown in picture keep innovating TUWAand I’ll keep purchasing.
Good looking cat shields made of stainless steel with cooling holes. Priced well, easy install, no issues. Would buy again.
Great service from their staff. Robert help me through all the process with a request I had, he responded all emails in a timely manner and provided great help.
We received it within 3 days and installed the same day. Great awning and very well made.
the tent is very nice, comfortable and roomy.
Following the instructions was fairly easy. Its better to have second person to set it up. I really like the tent and the support that from ExtrailAuto. Really recommeded! Thanks
