AMP Research PowerStep Smart Series Running Boards

The PowerStep Smart Series puts an override in your pocket. It works like any PowerStep, swinging out when a door opens and retracting under the body when the doors close, but the AMP Research app on an iOS or Android phone can also deploy or retract the boards on demand. That means the step can stay out while you load cargo or wash the truck, or stay tucked away on the trail, with no separate switch to install. The boards themselves are 6" wide aluminum with a textured black powder coat, LED step lighting and a 300 lb per door rating.

Features

Deploy or retract from your phone
The AMP Research app for iOS and Android sends the boards out or brings them in on command, whether or not a door is open.

Handy for loading and washing
Hold the steps out while you load cargo or wash the truck, instead of propping a door open to keep them deployed.

Held in on the trail
Keep the boards locked in the retracted position when ground clearance matters more than a step.

Automatic every other day
Without the app the Smart Series behaves like any PowerStep: out when a door opens, tucked under the body when the doors close.

No separate switch to fit
The app does the job of a physical override switch, so there is no extra hardware to mount or wire.

Aluminum boards rated for 300 lb
The boards are powder-coated aluminum in textured black, rated for up to 300 lb per door, and pivot on stainless steel pins and hardware.

A lit, 6" wide step
The slip-resistant step is 6" wide and lit by integrated LED lamps when it deploys.

Installation

Type: Vehicle-specific brackets and wiring · Time: 2 to 5 hours, depending on the vehicle · Difficulty: Experienced installer; AMP Research recommends professional installation

A Smart Series kit is built for one vehicle and pairs the motorized linkages and controller with a wire harness and a Smart Series OBD-II plug-in module that supplies the door signal. Every Smart Series guide includes drilling, and shorter cabs trim the boards to the lengths the guide lists. The wiring is joined with crimp or Posi-style connectors, so plan on electrical work or have a shop handle it. Torque every fastener to its listed value and test each door before you call it done.

Warranty, Shipping & Returns

Warranty. The PowerStep Smart Series is covered by AMP Research's limited warranty for defective materials or workmanship, as long as it was installed following the supplied instructions. AMP Research repairs or replaces a faulty part at its discretion, while removal and reinstallation labor stays with the owner. The original purchaser alone is covered; the cover stops once the boards are fitted to a different vehicle or the vehicle changes owner, and it does not reach abuse, collisions, incorrect installation, alterations, inadequate upkeep or hazards on and off the road.

Inspect on delivery. Examine the boards, linkages, controller and plug-in module on delivery and write any damage on the paperwork before you sign. Compare the box against the guide's parts list before the install, so a missing part surfaces while it can still be replaced.

Returns. Unused items in their original packaging can be returned within 30 days of delivery. If an item arrives damaged, defective or wrong, return shipping is on us. See our Returns & Refunds Policy, or email support@prestigetruck.com with any question.
