Diesel Optimized. Smartphone Controlled. The Heavy-Duty Standard.
Smart Accessibility for Your Ram WorkhorseThe AMP Research PowerStep Smart Series is the most significant innovation in electric running boards for the Ram Heavy Duty and Classic platforms. Specifically engineered for 2018-2024 Ram 2500/3500 Diesel models and Ram 1500 Classic models, this system brings high-tech convenience to the most rugged trucks on the road.
Manufactured in the USA, the Smart Series moves beyond basic automation. It features a modernized "chiseled" step profile that flows with the aggressive lines of your Ram, while providing an industry-first smartphone interface for total control.
The Problem & The Solution:The Pain: Ram HD trucks are notoriously high, making entry difficult. However, standard power steps lack flexibility—they deploy in deep mud, snow, or car washes when you’d rather they stay retracted. Traditionally, adding a manual override required drilling into your dash for a physical switch.
The Smart Solution: The Smart Series replaces the dash switch with a Bluetooth-enabled App. Override your steps to stay up or down and control your lighting system directly from your phone.
Heavy-Duty Innovation: Key Features
No dashboard drilling required. Use the iOS or Android app to keep steps deployed for cleaning or retracted for off-roading.
A redesigned board profile that complements the chiseled, industrial aesthetic of modern Ram Heavy Duty trucks.
Comes with a dedicated port to power and operate additional LED light systems, all manageable through the Smart Series app.
Specifically engineered for Diesel configurations, ensuring clearance for DEF tanks and exhaust systems on Ram 2500/3500.
Features precision stainless steel pivot pins and die-cast aluminum components for rock-solid stability in all climates.
Includes a low-profile LED light system that illuminates the boards when doors open for safe entry at night.
Over-Engineered in the USAAMP Research builds these steps to survive the hardest working trucks. With high-strength aluminum construction and military-grade PTFE coating, they are designed to handle 600 lbs of weight while resisting corrosion from road salt and chemicals.
600 lbs Weight Capacity 5-Year 60K Mile Warranty Dual Electric Motors Bluetooth iOS & Android
"Installed these on my 2022 Cummins 3500. Being a taller truck, these were a necessity. The Smart Series app is a game changer—I can keep the steps tucked in when I'm on a muddy job site to keep the hinges clean. The chiseled profile looks way better than the older rounded versions. Solid investment."

Specifically engineered for the high-torque, heavy-duty requirements of the following Ram configurations:
2018-2024 Ram 2500/3500 (Diesel Models ONLY) 2018-2024 Ram 1500 Classic (DS Body) Crew Cab & Mega Cab (Bolt-on Fit)Note: Not compatible with Chassis Cab Diesel models. Includes both boards, heavy-duty motors, Smart Series controller, and LED kit.
No. This specific kit only fits the 1500 Classic (DS Body). If your truck has 6-lug wheels and the "DT" body style, you require the Ram 1500 New Body kit.
On HD models equipped with factory Air Ride, the air tank is mounted where the running board linkage needs to sit. The relocation kit moves the tank slightly to allow the PowerStep to retract fully.
The 2500 and 3500 chassis require a more secure mounting point to support the higher capacity and heavy-duty usage typical of these trucks. This ensures the boards remain stable over years of use.
Yes, the Smart Series App allows you to manually toggle both the integrated step lights and any lights connected to the auxiliary port at any time.
This part number is specifically designed for Diesel models. Gas engine HD models have different exhaust routing that interferes with these specific linkages.

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
