AMP Research designed its PowerStep running board for Heavy Duty pickups, as a reliable work tool to take the effort out of constantly getting in and out of the vehicle.  The high-strength, extruded aluminum PowerStep has a 600-lb. capacity, and features an LED lighted, high-traction, power-deploying step. It utilizes strong die-cast aluminum–alloy linkage components, along with a military-spec anodized and Teflon® finish that resists corrosion.  Stainless steel pivot pins with maintenance-free, self-lubricating bushings allow the PowerStep™ to be reliable and more than capable of daily use in a tough work-truck environment.

“The AMP PowerStepwas designed not only as a luxury item for owners of heavy-duty pickups,” says Mark Wronski Director of Marketing at AMP Research. “People who use their trucks as a rolling office know that getting in and out of their vehicle many times a day can take its toll. The PowerStep can help reduce fatigue and joint stress that over time, can affect on-the-job performance.”

Because the AMP Research PowerStep deploys when the vehicle door is open and retracts up close to the vehicle’s rocker panel when the door is closed, it maintains excellent ground clearance that can be essential at an un-paved jobsite. There’s also an optional stainless-steel trim that can be added to enhance its appearance and durability.

The AMP Research PowerStep is available for 2013 and earlier heavy-duty pickups, including Ford Super-Duty, Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra, and Ram Trucks; as well as Ford F-150, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan. Manufactured in the U.S.A. the PowerStep™ comes with a five-year/60,000 mile warranty.  For more information contact AMP Research, 15651 Mosher Ave., Tustin, CA 92780.
