App-Controlled Entry. Modern Chiseled Design. 600lb Weight Capacity.
The Most Intelligent Step for Your RamThe AMP Research PowerStep Smart Series is the latest evolution in electric-powered running boards, designed specifically for the 2013-2017 Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500. It moves the control from a hardwired dashboard switch directly to your smartphone.
Engineered and Made in the USA, the Smart Series features an updated, chiseled profile that flows perfectly with the body lines of your Ram. It’s more than just a step; it’s a high-tech entryway that disappears when you don't need it and stays exactly where you want it with a tap on your phone.
The Problem & The Solution:The Pain: Ram trucks are notoriously high, making entry a struggle for family and passengers. Fixed boards ruin the truck's ground clearance and sleek profile, while traditional power steps require drilling into your dashboard to mount a physical override switch.
The Smart Solution: The Smart Series uses Bluetooth In-App Flexibility to override your steps to stay up or down. No drilling into your dash, no bulky fixed boards—just total control and a 600lb weight rating.
Smart Series Innovation: Key Features
Use the free iOS or Android app to keep steps deployed for cleaning or retracted for off-roading. No dash switch required.
Redesigned to complement the bold, chiseled aesthetics of the Ram body style, providing a modern, factory-integrated look.
Includes a built-in port to power and operate additional LED light systems, all controllable through the Smart Series app.
Built with high-strength, die-cast aluminum alloy components to support up to 600 lbs per side effortlessly.
PTFE coating and anodized finish protect the steps from corrosion, mud, road salt, and extreme weather.
Maintenance-free, stainless steel pivot pins ensure smooth and quiet operation every time you open a door.
Designed and manufactured in America, ensuring the highest quality standards for your Ram truck.
Backed by an industry-leading 5-year/60,000-mile warranty for total peace of mind on the road.
Over-Engineered DurabilityWe don't cut corners. The Smart Series uses aircraft-grade aluminum linkage arms and heavy-duty electric motors. The steps deploy in under a second and retract smoothly when the doors close, keeping your Ram's aerodynamics and ground clearance intact.

"My Ram 2500 is leveled and getting in was becoming a chore. These Smart Series steps are a total game changer. I love the app control—being able to keep them down for washing the roof without having the doors open is so convenient. They feel incredibly sturdy and look awesome."

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
