AMP Research 78255-01A Xtreme Running Boards (Plug-N-Play)

The AMP Research 78255-01A Xtreme Running Boards (Plug-N-Play) is the most durable powered running board for your Chevy Silverado/GMC Sierra. Love the convenience of power running boards but need some extra durability? Then consider the PowerStep XTreme Running Boards from AMP Research, which take everything you love about the original PowerStep and make it bigger, better, and more reliable for harsh environments.

AMP Research PowerStep Xtreme Running Boards are the toughest power running boards on the market powered by an OBD-II connection. Featuring a rigid, cast aluminum construction with stainless steel hinge pins and Dual-Motor design, the XTreme can withstand more abuse than other PowerStep variants, which have only one motor per side. The aluminum components are anodized before applying a military-grade PTFE coating, guarding the underlying aluminum against corrosion. Having two motors per side makes the XTreme the perfect option for those that frequent or live in geographical areas with extremely harsh climates.

The XTreme running boards also feature an extra-wide, non-slip, 6-inch wide step surface for maximum traction. AMP Research even includes bright, LED convenience lights that illuminate when the steps deploy, preventing slips and injuries from lack of visibility. AMP Research PowerStep Xtreme Running Boards are vehicle-specific, ensuring a flawless fit and finish. Where applicable, newer models utilize a simple Plug-N-Play harness that connects directly to your vehicle's OBD-II port, significantly simplifying installation.

Dual-Motor Retracting Step
PowerStep Xtreme Running Boards automatically deploy when the door opens and will retract after a 3 second delay when the door closes. Because they are made for extreme environments, they feature two motors per side for extreme performance.

Lower Deployed Step
AMP Research Xtreme PowerStep Running Boards drop much lower than other steps. Most stationary running boards rest 1-2 inches below the body and are often still too far from the ground to be convenient for many passengers.

Maximum Ground Clearance
The PowerStep Smart Series Running Boards tuck under the vehicle when retracted, providing amazing ground clearance while driving, and the functionality of a perfectly placed step when deployed.

Wide Step Surface
The board width is a massive 6 inches and perfect for any type of footwear.

Integrated LED Lighting
All PowerSteps Include two pairs of LED lights to illuminate the running board and ground below to maximize safety when entering and exiting your vehicle. The lighting will activate when the steps deploy and will shut off when the steps are retracted.

600 LB Load Capacity
From the brackets to the boards, each PowerStep Xtreme Running Board features a 600 LB load capacity - that is twice the capacity as most other steps.
