Automatic Electric Deployment. OBDII Plug-N-Play. 600 lb. Capacity.
The Standard in Truck AccessibilityGetting into your truck shouldn't feel like climbing Mount Everest. That's why AMP Research engineered the POWERSTEP, the automatic, electric-powered running board designed specifically for the next-generation 2025-current Ram 1500.
The PowerStep instantly extends when you open your door, providing a natural, rock-solid stepping surface. When the doors close, it hides itself safely out of sight, tucked tight against the rocker panels for improved ground clearance, aerodynamics, and a clean, high-end appearance. Built with legendary reliability and all-weather performance, it adds a serious "Wow Factor" to your new Ram.
The Pain: Fixed running boards are often at an awkward height—too high for easy entry but low enough to snag on debris or ruin the truck's sleek lines.
The Solution: The PowerStep remains hidden until needed, offering a lower stepping point than traditional boards and automatically illuminating the ground with built-in LED lights.
Key Features: AMP PowerStep Technology
Simplified installation via the OBDII port. No complex wire splicing or tapping into factory harnesses on your new Ram.
Each side is engineered with high-strength, die-cast aluminum alloy components to support up to 600 lbs.
Low-profile, weatherproof LED lamps automatically illuminate the step area when the doors open for safe nighttime entry.
Finished with a military-grade PTFE coating to resist corrosion, road salt, and provide a non-slip stepping surface.
Tested to perform in sub-zero and high-heat environments with maintenance-free, self-lubricating bushings.
By tucking under the rocker panels, these steps improve aerodynamics and reduce drag for a quieter highway ride.
Equipped with smart sensors that stop the step if an obstruction is detected, protecting the motor and your passengers.
AMP Research stands behind their work with an industry-leading 5-Year / 60,000-mile limited warranty.
Engineered in the USAAMP Research components are designed, engineered, and manufactured in the USA. The PowerStep features heavy-duty aluminum alloy construction with stainless steel pivot pins for maximum durability in harsh environments.

"I just picked up my 2025 Ram 1500 and these were the first things I installed. The Plug-N-Play wiring made the electrical side effortless. They drop lower than the factory boards, making it much easier for my parents to get in. Plus, they look incredible when they retract out of sight."
- David G., 2025 Ram 1500 Owner Professional Installation RecommendedInstallation Tip: While the OBDII module simplifies the electrical connection, the mechanical linkage installation requires precision alignment. We recommend professional installation to ensure long-term motor reliability.

AMP PowerSteps Fast Facts
CA Residents: ⚠️ WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm - www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
Yes. This kit is specifically updated and tested to fit the 2025 and 2026 Ram 1500 chassis, including the latest electronic systems for the Plug-N-Play OBDII module.
No. The PowerStep system is designed with a low-power draw sleep mode. It only pulls significant current when the steps are actively deploying or retracting.
Absolutely. The military-grade PTFE finish and textured surface provide non-slip traction and superior corrosion resistance against winter road chemicals.
If a door is left open, the steps will remain in the deployed position. They only retract once the OBDII module receives the signal that all doors are fully closed.
While it is technically possible, AMP Research recommends a direct connection to the OBDII port to ensure the fastest signal response and consistent deployment timing.

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

Here's why we think you should shop with us at ExtrailAuto.
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
