Description

AMP Research PowerStep XTreme | 2018-2024 Ram 1500 Classic, 2500 & 3500

Diesel Models Only. Dual-Motor Torque. Sub-Zero Performance. 600lb Capacity.

The Toughest Electric Step for the Heavy-Duty Ram

The AMP Research PowerStep XTreme is specifically engineered for Ram diesel truck owners who work in the world’s most punishing environments. From sub-zero northern winters to mud-caked southern job sites, the XTreme is built to hold up when standard power steps fail.

Unlike standard electric boards that use a single motor, the XTreme features a Dual-Motor Drive on each side. This delivers twice the torque to punch through frozen slush, heavy ice, and thick mud buildup. Proudly Made in the USA, it sets the industry standard for reliability in high-clearance Cummins-powered trucks.

The Problem & The Solution:

The Pain: Ram HD trucks sit exceptionally high, making entry a struggle. Standard power steps can freeze shut or stall when the rocker panels are caked in debris, leaving you without a step when you need it most.
The XTreme Solution: High-torque Dual Motors provide the brute force needed to clear obstructions, while the Aggressive Design ensures non-slip traction even when wearing heavy, mud-covered work boots.

⚠️ CRITICAL FITMENT NOTE: This kit is for DIESEL MODELS ONLY. See compatibility section below for exclusions.

600lb Capacity

Aircraft-grade aluminum linkages and stainless steel pivot pins support up to 600 lbs per side with zero flex.

Made in the USA

Designed and manufactured in America, ensuring the highest level of craftsmanship for your Ram truck.

Backed by a legendary 5-year/60,000-mile warranty, providing peace of mind for the life of your truck.

Tested for the Heavy-Duty Diesel Lifestyle

AMP Research components are built to handle more than just highway driving. The XTreme series is torture-tested to perform in temperatures ranging from -40°F to 200°F. The heavy-duty linkage system keeps the board hidden while driving, protecting your Ram's ground clearance and aerodynamics while shielding the mechanism from trail debris.

Ram Owner Spotlight ★★★★★

"The standard steps on my previous truck would always get stuck in the winter once the salt and ice built up. I upgraded to the XTreme on my new Ram 2500 Diesel and the difference is night and day. These steps punch right through the frozen slush without hesitation. The grip is massive, and they feel like a solid piece of the truck. Definitely worth it for anyone in a cold climate."

- Mark S., Ram 2500 Cummins Owner

Frequently Asked Questions

+ Why do I need the XTreme instead of the standard PowerStep?

The XTreme features dual motors per side, providing twice the torque. This is essential for breaking through frozen ice buildup or heavy, thick mud that might stall a standard single-motor system.

+ Does this work with the factory Ram Air Suspension?

Yes, however, Ram HD models (2500/3500) equipped with factory air ride require an Air Tank Relocation Kit (sold separately) to clear the linkage mechanism.

+ Is drilling required for installation?

Yes, unlike the newer DT models, the 2018 and Ram Classic platform (DS) generally requires drilling to secure the linkage brackets to the vehicle’s rocker panel and frame.

+ Will this fit my Regular Cab Ram?

Yes, but for Regular Cab and Double Cab models, the step boards will need to be trimmed to the correct length as per the installation guide.

+ Can I use my OBD-II port for other devices?

If you need to use another device (like a tuner) simultaneously, you can use an OBD-II pass-through harness (Y-splitter), which allows multiple devices to be plugged into the data port at once.

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
