Description

AMP Research PowerStep Smart Series | 2021-2025 Ford Bronco & 2021-2023 Ford Ranger

App-Controlled Flexibility. Chiseled Modern Design. 600lb Capacity.

The Most Intelligent Step for Your Ford

The AMP Research PowerStep Smart Series is the ultimate tech upgrade for the modern adventure seeker. Designed specifically for the 2021-2025 Ford Bronco (2 & 4 Door) and the 2021-2023 Ford Ranger, this system moves beyond simple automation to give you total control via your smartphone.

Engineered and Made in the USA, the Smart Series allows you to override your steps to stay deployed or retracted with a single tap. It solves the traditional struggle of hardwiring manual switches and provides a cleaner, more integrated look for your off-road rig.

The Problem & The Solution:

The Pain: Modern Fords sit high, making entry difficult for passengers. Fixed running boards ruin ground clearance on the trail, and traditional power steps require drilling into your dash for a manual override switch.
The Smart Solution: Steps that vanish when you're driving and deploy when you need them. Use the In-App Flexibility to override steps for cleaning or roof access—all without drilling a single hole in your dashboard.

Note: Fits 2 & 4 Door Models. EXCLUDES Raptor Models.

Real Owner Feedback ★★★★★

"My Bronco sits high, and getting my kids in was a chore until I installed these. The app control is a massive plus—I love being able to drop the steps while I'm at the car wash to clean out the hinges without leaving my doors open. Rock solid and look great."

- Mark D., Bronco 4-Door Owner

Prop 65

California Residents

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
