Instant Deployment. OBDII Plug-N-Play. Heavy-Duty 600 lb. Capacity.
The Standard in Heavy-Duty AccessibilityGetting into your 2025-current Ram 2500 or 3500 shouldn't feel like climbing Mount Everest. These heavy-duty trucks are built tall, but that shouldn't make them inaccessible. The AMP Research PowerStep is the automatic, electric-powered running board that instantly extends when you open your door, providing a natural, sturdy stepping surface.
When the doors close, the system hides itself safely out of sight, tucked tight against the rocker panels. This improves ground clearance for off-road work, enhances aerodynamics for better fuel economy, and maintains the clean, aggressive lines of your Ram HD truck. With legendary reliability and all-weather performance, it is the industry standard for premium side steps.
The Problem & The Solution:The Pain: Fixed running boards on Ram HD trucks are often positioned too high for kids or seniors, yet they hang low enough to get caught on debris or curbs.
The Solution: The PowerStep drops lower than fixed boards for a comfortable entry and retracts completely to protect the step and preserve your truck's clearance.
Key Features: AMP PowerStep Technology
Patented technology connects directly to the OBDII port, eliminating the need for complex wire splicing on your new Ram.
Each side is engineered to support up to 600 lbs, providing a rock-solid foundation for the biggest jobs.
Low-profile LED lamps illuminate the step area automatically when deployed for safe entry at night.
Anodized and PTFE-coated to withstand extreme corrosion, road salt, and harsh all-weather environments.
Full-length boards extend instantly when any door is opened and retract stealthily when the doors close.
Smart safety technology detects obstructions and stops the motor to prevent injury or damage to the mechanism.
By tucking under the truck, these steps reduce wind drag, contributing to a quieter highway ride and better MPG.
Backed by a 5-Year/60,000-mile warranty and tested to perform in sub-zero and triple-digit temperatures.
Heavy-Duty Engineering for Heavy-Duty TrucksAMP Research uses aircraft-grade aluminum linkage arms that are precision-machined for the 2025-2026 Ram platform. Every component is designed to endure the high-stress door cycles of a work truck, with self-lubricating bushings that stay maintenance-free for years.
600 lbs Step Capacity OBDII Connectivity PTFE Non-Slip Finish 5 Years Warranty
"Installed these on my 2025 Ram 3500 and the difference is night and day. My truck has a slight leveling kit and getting in was a chore. These drop low enough that it feels like walking up a staircase. The Plug-N-Play module meant I didn't have to cut a single wire on my brand new truck. Worth every penny."
- Robert K., Verified Ram HD Owner Installation RecommendationProfessional Setup: While the Plug-N-Play OBDII module significantly simplifies the electrical side, we recommend professional installation for the linkage and mounting to ensure perfect alignment with your Ram's rocker panels.

Yes. This kit is specifically updated for the latest generation of Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks (2025-2026), ensuring the electronics and mounting brackets align with the new chassis specifications.
No. This is the Plug-N-Play model. It includes a wiring harness that connects directly to the OBDII port under your steering column, allowing the boards to read door signals without cutting into the factory harness.
The PowerStep system for Ram HD is rated for 600 lbs per side. It is built using heavy-duty linkages to handle the rigorous demands of 2500 and 3500 series trucks.
They are designed for all-weather performance. The military-grade PTFE finish resists buildup, and the smart motors will stop if they detect too much resistance from heavy ice to prevent burning out the motor.
Typically, they retract when the doors close. However, you can hold them down with your foot as they deploy (the sensor will stop them) for easy cleaning of the step surface while the doors are shut.

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
