Description

AMP Research PowerStep Smart Series - Ford Super Duty F-250 / F-350 / F-450 (2020-2022)

Exclusive SYNC 3 Integration. App-Driven Control. Chiseled Style.

The Most Advanced Step for Your Super Duty

The AMP Research PowerStep Smart Series is the latest evolution in electric running boards, designed specifically for the 2020-2022 Ford Super Duty. This isn't just a step; it’s a fully integrated tech upgrade that gives you complete control via your smartphone.

Engineered and Made in the USA, the Smart Series features a redesigned "chiseled" step profile that perfectly complements the aggressive body lines of the modern F-250 and F-350. It solves the biggest limitation of previous power steps by offering a digital manual override right at your fingertips.

The Problem & The Solution:

The Pain: Traditional power steps operate automatically 100% of the time. If you need them to stay up for off-roading or stay down for roof access/cleaning, you previously had to drill into your dash to install a physical toggle switch.
The Smart Solution: The Smart Series eliminates the physical switch. Using the iOS or Android App, you can override the steps to stay deployed or retracted and toggle the integrated lighting with a single tap.

Ford Owner Feedback ★★★★★

"The height of my F-350 made climbing in a chore, but I didn't want bulky fixed steps. The Smart Series is perfect. I love being able to hold the steps down from my phone when I'm washing the truck. The chiseled look also matches the Super Duty style way better than the older rounded boards."

- Mark S., F-350 Owner

Frequently Asked Questions

+ Why does it only fit SYNC 3 models for 2022?

Ford changed the electrical architecture for the SYNC 4 system in mid-2022. This Smart Series controller is specifically calibrated to communicate with the SYNC 3 digital signals found in 2020-2021 and early 2022 models.

+ Will the steps still work if I lose my phone?

Yes. The steps function automatically every time you open or close the door, regardless of your phone. The app is only required when you want to use the manual override or customize the lighting.

+ How do the steps handle winter ice and snow?

AMP steps are designed with anti-pinch and anti-obstruction sensors. If they encounter heavy ice buildup, they will stop to prevent damage. With the Smart Series app, you can manually keep the steps retracted in heavy storms to prevent ice from freezing them open.

+ What is the "Auxiliary Port" used for?

This port allows you to add extra lighting (like rock lights or auxiliary puddle lights) and wire them directly into the PowerStep controller, giving you the ability to turn them on and off from the Smart Series app.

+ Is drilling required for installation?

For Ford Super Duty models, minor drilling is generally required to mount the linkages securely to the heavy-duty chassis. All necessary hardware and instructions are included.

California Residents

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
