App-Driven Control. Chiseled Design. Engineered for Gas Models.
The Evolution of the PowerStepThe AMP Research PowerStep Smart Series is the latest innovation to bring more control for your electric-powered running boards right to your fingertips. Specifically designed for the 2014-2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 (Gas Models Only), this system upgrades the classic PowerStep with integrated Bluetooth technology.
Proudly Made in the USA, the Smart Series features a newly developed "chiseled" step profile that flows seamlessly with the body lines of your Silverado. It is the ultimate solution for truck owners who want the convenience of an automatic step with the modern flexibility of smartphone integration.
The Problem & The Solution:The Pain: Standard power steps deploy every time you open the door, which can be problematic in car washes, deep snow, or when accessing your roof rack. In the past, adding a manual override required drilling 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 wirelessly override your steps to stay up or down and power the integrated or auxiliary LED lights with a single tap.
Key Features: Smart Series Innovation
No dashboard drilling required. Use the app to keep steps retracted during off-roading or deployed for easy cleaning.
A modernized board design developed to complement the "square-body" chiseled aesthetic of the 2014-2018 Silverado generation.
Equipped with a dedicated port to power and operate additional LED light systems directly via the Smart Series app.
Designed and manufactured in America using high-strength, die-cast aluminum alloy components for long-term durability.
Low-profile LED lights illuminate the step and ground when the doors are opened, providing safety in dark environments.
Buy with confidence. Backed by a massive 5-year / 60,000-mile warranty covering both motors and electronics.
Built Silverado StrongAMP Research utilizes precision stainless-steel pivot pins and military-grade PTFE coating to ensure the Smart Series resists corrosion and keeps moving in the harshest climates. Whether you're in the mud or on the highway, these boards provide a rock-solid 600lb capacity.

"I've had standard PowerSteps before, but the app control on the Smart Series is a huge upgrade for my 2017 Silverado. I love being able to hold the boards down when I'm washing the truck without having to leave the door open. The chiseled design matches the truck's styling perfectly. Highly recommend!"

Specifically engineered for the 3rd Generation Silverado 1500 chassis. Fits the following trims:
2014-2018 Silverado 1500 (Gas Engines Only) Crew Cab & Double Cab Models Work Truck, LT, LTZ, High Country, & Z71Package Includes: Both running boards, high-torque electric motors, Smart Series controller, LED light kit, and all necessary mounting hardware.
No. This specific part number is designed exclusively for the 1500 series chassis. 2500/3500 HD models require a different mounting configuration and linkages.
No. The boards will still deploy and retract automatically when you open and close your doors. The app is only needed for manual override (staying up or down) and custom light control.
The high-torque motors are designed to push through most obstructions. However, with the Smart Series app, you can keep the steps retracted during heavy storms to prevent ice from freezing the linkage open.
Yes. The Smart Series app allows you to toggle the integrated LED lights on or off independently of the door status, which is great for extra task lighting around the truck.
For the 2014-2018 Silverado, most mounting points are pre-existing, but some minor drilling may be required for wire routing and the LED light system installation.

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
