Features
- Deploys automatically as a door opens: Open any door and the boards swing down and out; close it and they tuck back under the truck after a 2-second delay. If something blocks a board, it stops on its own, and opening and closing the door resets it.
- 6" wide slip-resistant step: Each board is a 6"-wide, slip-resistant platform. AMP Research says the surface keeps its traction in all weather.
- Retracts tight and out of sight: Stowed, the boards sit up under the rocker panels with no step hanging below the body. AMP Research says this keeps ground clearance at its maximum and shields the rockers while you drive.
- Integrated LED step lighting: LED lamps light the step when a door opens, so you can see your footing after dark. Per AMP's guides, they stay on until the boards stow or 5 minutes pass.
- Aluminum, rated to 300 lb per door: The boards are corrosion-resistant aluminum with an advanced powder coat finish, and AMP Research rates them for up to 300 lb per door.
- Stainless steel hinge pins and hardware: Stainless steel hinge pins and hardware sit at the pivots, the wear points that work every time a door opens. AMP's guide suggests a silicone spray on the pivot pins after washing.
Description & Fitment
Made for the 2015-2019 Ford Transit, part 76159-01A is a vehicle-specific PowerStep kit. AMP Research lists this kit as passenger side only. This is the Plug-N-Play kit, which reads the door signal through a connection module plugged into the OBD-II port. The aluminum board is rated for 300 lb per door and tucks away under the Transit's passenger-side rocker when the doors close. Plan on 3-5 hours for the install: AMP Research rates it level 4 of 4 and recommends a professional, and its guide calls for some drilling.

About AMP Research
AMP RESEARCH.
AMP Research calls its PowerStep the original power-retractable running board, made since 2002. Its install guides name AMP Research as the designer and manufacturer.
The PowerStep range covers the standard PowerStep, the PowerStep XL (sits up to 3" lower for lifted trucks), the PowerStep Xtreme (two motors per side for snow, ice and mud), the PowerStep Smart Series (phone app control) and the PowerStep Vision (LED edge lighting). Each kit is made for specific vehicles. AMP Research says newer applications connect through an OBD-II module, which AMP calls Plug-N-Play; kits for many older trucks are hard-wired to the door-signal wires.
Authorized AMP Research dealer. Prestige Truck is an authorized AMP Research dealer, so what we sell is new and genuine AMP Research. In AMP Research's words, the warranty "applies to the original purchaser only," and "you must retain proof of purchase and submit a copy with any items returned for warranty work." Your Prestige Truck order receipt is that proof.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this fit my 2015-2019 Ford Transit?
Yes, if it matches a row in the fitment table: the table lists 2015-2019 Ford Transit. If you're unsure, send us your VIN and we'll check.
Is this the Plug-N-Play or the Hard-Wire kit?
Plug-N-Play. AMP Research's connection module plugs into the truck's OBD-II port for the door signal.
Can I install it myself?
AMP Research recommends professional installation for every PowerStep, though it says experienced DIYers can do it at home with the included vehicle-specific kit and instructions. AMP's guides rate the job level 4 of 4 (experienced) and list 2-3 hours or 3-5 hours depending on the truck; some trucks need drilling and some cabs need the boards cut to length.
What is the difference between Plug-N-Play and Hard-Wire kits?
Plug-N-Play kits pick up the door signal through AMP Research's plug-in connection module, which on most trucks plugs into the OBD-II port under the dash. Hard-Wire kits tap into the truck's door-signal wires with the supplied connectors. Each listing names its own kit type, and the guide for your truck shows exactly what is involved.
What happens if something is in the way?
AMP's guide says a moving board stops on its own if it meets an obstruction. Clear it, then open and close the door to resume normal operation. Keep hands away while the boards are moving.
How do I keep it working in mud, salt and snow?
AMP's guide says mud, dirt and salt can get trapped in the mechanism and cause noise, and its maintenance section covers cleaning it out. When you wash the truck, avoid spraying the motors directly; afterwards, apply a silicone spray lubricant to the hinge pivot pins. Don't put silicone, wax or protectants such as Armor All on the step surface.
Installation
Install time

DifficultyLevel 4 of 4 (experiencedAMP Research); professional installation recommended
TypeBolt-on under the body, with wiring to the battery and the door signalthis guide calls for drilling
ToolsSafety goggles, Measuring tape, Power Drill, 1/8" Drill Bit, 17/32" Drill Bit, 21/64" Drill Bit, 10 mm socket, 13 mm socketthe guide lists the rest
Here's the short version. Follow AMP Research's install guide (below) for your truck's exact mounting points, wiring and torque settings.
- Mount the linkages. Bolt the front and rear linkage assemblies to the passenger-side mounting points the guide shows, with the front and rear passenger brackets (drilling where the guide calls for it), then torque them to the setting printed in the guide.
- Fit the motors. The motors ship separate from the linkages to protect them. Once the linkages are mounted, fit each motor to its linkage as the guide directs, and handle the assemblies with care.
- Route the harness. Run the harness along the rocker to the front and rear linkages and down through the passenger-side wheel well, securing it with the supplied cable ties.
- Connect the door signal. Join the PowerStep connection module to the harness with the supplied connectors and plug it into the truck's OBD-II port under the dash.
- Attach the board. Slide the board's T-nuts into the lower linkage mounts and set the board position the guide gives for your van, then tighten to the listed torque.
- Test every door. Check that the doors deploy the board and turn on the LED lights, and that the board stows again when the doors close.

Really well built steps
I was against these at first but decided to try them... put them on a month ago and no issues with the snow,salt or cold. Best part is that these sit lower, wider and ouside the cab when down. Easier for everyone to get in and fitment is spot on. Cant even tell they're on the truck. Install took 5 hours in a garagr on the floor. The wiring is not "plug and play" isnt bad if your experienced but you do have to splice wires and pay attention to wire routing. Read the directions closely.

Better looks and functionality over stock running boards
I removed the stock running boards and installed the power steps in about 6-7 hours. A leisurely Saturday job by any competent DIYer. No special tools required. My install did require some adjustments of the step brackets and a few hammer taps pushing outwards on the body pinch seam on the front passenger corner. May be unique to my vehicle. You can’t tell any massaging was needed. All in all a fairly straightforward install and I’m happy with the results.

More Ground Clearance
The steps fit perfectly and has given about 5 more inches of ground clearance when retracted. Of course entry and exit from/to the Raptor is much more comfortable for the ladies.

Awesome
These things are great. They are everything that they are hyped up to be. Functionally they work flawlessly, and aesthetically, They look better than any other step in my opinion. I would caution anybody that doesn’t have an above average ability to install the electrical portion. I’ve installed these before on a different vehicle and they were very simple. On my ‘22 AT4 however, there was one electrical connection that required I get up under my driver side kick panel and splice into some very small very obscured wires. If you don’t have the confidence to do this, you’re better off paying somebody to do it. The directions provided are but clear could use better images to illustrate the process for this one electrical connection.

Great steps, horrible fit
The AMP power steps looked great and felt very sturdy BUT the step was only 6. 25” off the ground when deployed - not even close to the 10-12” as advised before I bought them. I made sure they didn’t send the XL (extra low) option. I am very disappointed and returned the steps.

Pricy but (mostly) worth it
These steps were very easy to install and give the truck a nice clean look but I'm not convinced they are worth the price. I bought these over other brands because of they have a high recommendation and value rating but I'm not sure the added cost is justified. The operate smoothly with the exception of a thump when they reach the closed position and feel fairly sturdy however I do think a 3rd joint in/near the middle would provide more stability. I'm not regretting the purchase in any way, I just don't know that they need to be this expensive, especially with other less expensive options out there.

The perfect way to “step up”
I had these AMP Research steps professionally installed on my new 2026 Tundra Hybrid 1794, and they’ve exceeded my expectations. I was initially worried I’d need a manual override switch like the one shown in the owner’s manual, but that wasn’t the case at all—they integrated seamlessly with the truck. The battery location under the driver-side rear seat actually made the install straightforward. The steps deploy smoothly every time, tuck up clean when not in use, and look right at home on the truck. Solid build, clean install, and they work exactly as they should.

Does what I wanted
The suggested placement of the control module was such that it interfered with battery removal, so I relocated it. Other than that the installation was as expected / advertised. Should not be one's first DIY. It was called a plug-in-play unit. Misnomer. Two splices into the truck wireing harness IS NOT plug-in-play. BUT let me say that I love the unit and it works great!!

Practical inovation
Love the power steps on my 23 dodge ram 2500 long bed crew cab. Putting regular fixed running boards on such a long truck would look awful. It will look like a city buss. Love the power steps being at the actual needed height without loosing any ground clearance, very important on such a long wheel base truck. My wife can now climb in my truck with a dress on. She now loves my truck as well.

Cleaner body lines and super cool steps!
I'm really impressed with the quality of the components and ease of installation of the Power step Running Boards. Fit and finish looks like it came from the factory! Running boards only deploy on the side of the truck where a door was opened. LED lighting augments the mirror mounted puddle lights and illuminates the steps at night for safety.

I have always wanted these steps! They are awesome! I personally love the look of my truck with out steps but I need them (steps), to assist with my entry & exit. These steps not only look great, they work great and the fit n feel factor is great too. My stock steps were useful, but seemed a bit high to get in & out. The AMP research steps are a better feel for exiting & entry and the fit to the truck is just perfect. I additionally like how only the side of door opening deploys a step, very classy. I have not experienced a winter with them yet but hope they continue to be reliable, work good and there are no issues. Simply put what a great investment & look for my truck !

Self Install review
The install was pretty much by the instructions, once I received the correct ones. I was initially gived an older version which did not include the brose drive motors. Once I got the correct instructions, everything pretty much was by the book with 1 exception. When you relocate the brose motor assemblies to the rear mounting location, you did NOT extend the wiring harness to reach the rear mounts? I had to extend the power wires to the brose drive motors to complete the install. Other than that, with the correct installation manual it was right by the book. I installed these on my truck for my wife who is only 5' tall. She absolutely loves them, now we take my truck on more trips than her car!

Great product! Very robust, heavy duty. Greatly assists me in getting in and out of my truck. This product reduced a single 18 inch step into two comfortable 9 inch steps. I could not be happier with the results. It also operates very quietly. I would recommend this product to any one with a tallish vehicle even if you do not have mobility issues. When I trade this truck in, it is very likely that I will buy this product again for the new truck.

PowerStep is Bad to the
PowerStep is Bad to the Bone, ha! I just installed yesterday even though I've had for a month, due to siberian air, etc. My pickup is black as are the steps, and when folded up, the untrained eye cannot even detect they are installed. They lie that flat with the contour of the bottom of the door. They are activated of course by the closing and unclosing of the door, and each works perfectly. Having steps is a big deal since my particular GMC has been elevated. Before I was afraid that I would pull the steering off while getting in. The only issue I was surprised by was there was no rubber on the step, slick metal only. However, that's not really a problem. I am extremely happy. I have a nice truck, so these powersteps are a nice touch. I do recommend a tech for installation, since I have only nominal shop skills.

Love them
Install was difficult because they went on a 2023 Tacoma, not a 2022. But after much thought, they were installed and they are really very cool.

expensive but worth it
easy install, now my wife will ride in my truck. Steps stay way cleaner than the factory retracting steps on my Escalade ESV. Hard to tell they're there when retracted.

Perfect
These are exactly what I was looking for from my Tacoma, have plans to lift it, and needed a step that came down a little further, they are expensive, but they are also worth every penny.

Very Nice Clean Look , when it’s tucked underneath , you’re unable to the product and once it appears…. A bold statement is presented accompanied by lighting when it is dark out. Safety features are as they explained when closing it stops if foreign objects are in the way, then it resets.

Look nice but
They drop too low to the ground. They drop to 8 inches from the ground leaving about 14 inches from the running board to the cab. I wish the distance was more even. There is no drop adjustment.

Received damaged part
Overall it was pretty easy to install, they are expensive but worth it if you get a working package. The amp research power steps are constructed out of a better quality material than other aftermarket brands which makes it worth the extra money these ones cost. This is the second time I purchased these running boards I had them for my titan xd and now on my ram 2500 power wagon, the only problem I had was a bent driver side control arm (which was probably damaged during shipping) after installation, when retracting the step back under the cab i noticed a grinding sound so I took the control arm off to find out it was slightly bent, the metal is pretty thick I dont understand how it was able to bend like that but its not the first time receiving damaged/opend product due to fed-ex or ups. I would have rated it higher because I am satisfied for the most part but when I called for…

Want work with f150, power-boost
The item was installed on my 2025 f150, power boost by a professional installer. However, the plug and play didn’t work with my vehicle OBD-2 port. As a result I have to wait 1-2 months for the proper plug since I decided not to have the power step uninstalled. This item we’re assured to fit by the online rep that’s why I purchased it. If you have a 2025. F150, power-boost stay away from the plug and play.

Poor
Amp boasts innovation and thoughtful designs but that does not apply to the PowerSteps for the new Ford Ranger. Their knuckle-shredding, infinitely frustrating bracket design is just complete buffoonery. They give you a tiny window to tighten the bolt with and without a ratcheting wrench, you’re in for it. With the proper wrench, you are in for a painful, infuriating experience. Do better AMP. I’ve installed at least a dozen of your steps and usually find it enjoyable, you messed up on the Ranger thinking this was a good design.

Amp steps
I don't know how I like the steps, I never received them after trying to buy them three times they were out of stock the first time,my money was refunded, got a call they are in stock,great send them to me paid and received a Fed x tracking number, week goes by,no steps for me,they are lost, my money return and steps reorded, guess what ,none in stock. So I can't tell you how I like the steps. I don't think anyone looks at these reviews anyway, but belive it or not, I still want the steps.

Ami pro power steps
Steps are nice but installer had a hard time with installation. The truck is a 2026 and instructions only went to 2025. Called support to fix. The main computer was also bad and had to have a new one shipped to replace. The 3m tape for the lights does not hold. I have to have that fixed as well.

Not what they use to be!
First of all the instructions are garbage. From they wire colors being incorrect to basically having to eyeball where to drill holes in the pinch welds. I also had to extend the wiring harness to reach the motor on passenger side. They steps have an uneven appearance to the body and was told a 3/4 difference was acceptable. After the installation was completed the driver door doesn't operate the step. I called for support and was told they had an issue with that and would ship a new OBD2 plug. I have waited 6 weeks with no new part. I called again and was told their will be an update from their app that should fix the issue but there is no definite time frame for this. They are knowing selling a defective product with no fix and expecting you to deal with it. These steps are to expensive for the quality and customer service you get. I advise you look for something else.

2025 F350 AMP powersteps
Overall, I’m happy with the product. The only concern so far is that the motor and gear drive are noticeably louder than I expected, and you can feel the gears engaging as the steps go up and down. It feels a bit tight or under load, which makes me wonder about long-term wear. Everything is working as it should right now, but it’s something I’ll be monitoring over time.

Running boards
I purchased these steps in November now it’s the middle of January, and still have not been able to get the steps to work !!!!! One running board came damaged, not from shipping. You don’t have a whole new set , don’t have the running board , and don’t have a controller. With poor quality and zero support I’m not happy so far 😢

Messed up directions!
The only directions were to scan a QR code, it lead me to a Ram truck video get the steps put on. It had me put the brackets on backwards, ie. . . the rear brackets with the motors go on the rear for my truck, and the RAM video said to put them on the front. So I had to take the steps and brackets all off, because the pre-made wiring did not match up. Then. . . . all installed and wired and the steps operated BACKWARDS! Open the door and the steps folded up, close the door, and the steps folded down. So I had to take the connectors and the motor apart and switch the wires, to get it to operate correctly. And one week later, I already have a light out above the step. Hopefully they'll warranty that!!??

found out steps break communication with trailer wiringsystem
Love the steps they work great look great quality product BUT, Having them plugged into port under dash breaks communication to the trailer break system on my 2020 Chevrolet 2500 HD. Huge disappointment, I hope they figure out this issue! Unplugging them to use them with a trailer attached IS NOT an OPTION!!!

Difficult to get a REFUND!
My son ordered the wrong step, it took over 8 days to get a return number! You had to wait for the manufacture to authorize a return number instead of taking care of the customer! Very poor attempt of customer service and dealing with a problem. Apparently don't know how to take care of a customers problem and deal with the manufacture afterward!

Not Very Happy So Far
I purchased these steps for my new Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab after deciding that a fold away step would serve functionally better than the standard bolt-on steps. I had read the reviews on these steps and saw that most purchasers were happy with the overall look and function. The only downfall that was mentioned, was that the instructions could of had more clarity.I read the instructions online and determined that this was something that I could handle, I was kinda right and wrong. I received my steps and started the installation, figuring that it should take me the maximum time for installation which was 5 hours,I'm not an auto mechanic but have worked on cars, trucks, motorcycles, 4-wheelers and been an industrial mechanic. The actual installation of the hardware went pretty much as I thought, fairly well. I installed the electrical and cut down the running boards to fit and was ready…

Poor customer service and warranty
After 2 years the motor on the passenger side running board stopped retracting fully. I contacted customer service explaining that the motor had become weak on the passenger board and when the temp gets below 30 degrees it won’t retract all the way anymore. Ivan from customer service replied telling me the product is not intended to work in such “extreme” temperatures. I explained that 30 degrees is by no means an extreme temperature and that the boards have worked fine for 2 years and even worked perfectly fine in sub zero temps before. I also told him the driver side still works fine so clearly they cash and should operate in 30 degree temps. I also said no where in there product info does it say their product will not work in temps below 30 degrees. If it had I certainly wouldn’t have bought them since 4-5 months out of the year we are below 30 degrees in Minnesota.

Terrible Customer service
Their customer service is non-existent. Bought the power steps in March and have had issues with intermittent deployment on my 2023 TRX since. I checked all connections, they sent me new OBD2 connector, new module, and now have been waiting for new a harness for over 2 months! I have called and emailed with no response. Stay away if possible

Very expensive paper weight in my case
So far this has been the worse purchase I’ve made, and the second most expensive mod, two thousand dollars you’d expect it to work properly, in my case total opposite, driver’s gear assembly was defective out of the box, 4-6 week back order and that was July the 10th and haven’t heard anything else since, definitely don’t feel like a valued customer.

Not low enough
The step is not low enough it’s still 17 in off ground I still can’t step up I asked them specifically if it was low to ground cause I was having knee surgery they promised they were low to ground. I wrote multiple messages and called they wouldn’t send me the correct running boards

Disappointed
Gotta say I'm kinda sad here. Installed the AMP power steps on a 2021 Silverado and they are anything but stealth looking. The sit way too low and are angled to much in order to clear the pinch weld. I was expecting these so sit fairly flat and be more hidden under the rocker panel. They stick out like a sore thumb. I took off a pair of Go Rhino DSS steps and I think I lost some clearance with the Amps due to how low they sit under the rocker . They do work as intended but they just are too visible for my liking. Ughhhh.

Frozen steps
I bought a 2012 tundra in Colorado back in December. Amp research power running boards DO NOT like temperature below 0. When I start my truck at 7 am both sides freeze on the return to the rocker panel. They only "thaw" out after the sun hits them for 4 hrs.

Amp powersteps
These steps work very good and where time consuming to install but easy enough if you are good with this type so stuff. I’m only giving three stars because I do not feel these steps stick out far enough when stepping out of my Jeep. I have to look for them before stepping out as I can not see them when I open the door. I did think about returning them and looking for a different style step but I decided to just keep them as it was easier for me to vs. returning them. They do work well and open and close without delay.

2023 Ram 6.7l experience
Overall the product is great! But had issues with the instructions, they need to change the steps for the obd2 portions basically it’s says you can install the connector on any of open connections on the green terminals. Once I did that it didn’t work, called them and they said to move the connector to the bottom left open terminal and it’ll work. For the price I’d expect a more detailed installation instructions and or a better troubleshooting instructions.

Let's be realistic . . . .
Let's be realistic, these steps work well and mean really well. Unlike most all other side steps, when opened, they sit a a level conducive to easy entry and exit. Virtually all other nerf bar, rock slider steps that I've ever had always sit too high making using them actually a chore rather than a pleasure. More often than not, when using any side step other than AMP, I would simply exit my trucks avoiding stepping on them either on the way into or out of the truck. Upon entering, if I used the step I would almost always be standing too high to get into the seat without crouching so as not to smack my noggin on the roof. In addition, when the doors are closed and the AMP step retracts, it sits flush with the bottom panel making it virtually invisible while allowing for greater clearance vs all others. This is my 2nd set of AMP power steps (both times I purchased the original model)…

Great product
Install was straight forward. Only issue was the step was hitting the parking brake cable upon return. I called for technical assistance, issue was not resolved so I wrapped the arm linkage with rubber so it have metal to metal contact. Would have liked better tech support because my mother was complaining about the noise it was making upon return. I’ll try more self remedies my next visit.

Install took several hours and I would not call it easy. The instructions were great but I did watch a couple of videos online. The step are well made and fit great. I really like that the folding action is fast but it is a little noisy when they hit. Overall they are great but I give it a 4 because they arrived damaged and the install was a job.
