Running boards and step bars are essential accessories for many trucks and SUV’s on the road today. They assist both driver and passengers alike to safely and easily enter or exit their vehicle throughout the day. But not all running boards are created equal and some can make a person wonder why they bothered with them at all.
One of the biggest issues people have with traditionally fixed running boards is the amount of consideration given to ground clearance. Mounted too high and they’re of little use. Mounted too low and you’ll likely be scraping them against ground objects you’d normally pass right over.
Enter the Powerstep, one of the most popular products by AMP Research, one of our top vendors and a leading manufacturer of electric running boards. With the Powerstep retractable running board, you’ll have the boost you need when you need it and the style you desire when you don’t.
AMP Powersteps
The Powerstep makes it easier for people of all ages to enter and exit a vehicle. It’s lightweight, durable, and made right here in the United States. Open the door and the Powerstep lowers into position almost instantly, close the door and it retracts beneath the rocker panel just a fast. This allows you to maintain your vehicles desired ground clearance (whether stock or lifted) and still have a fully functional step at an appropriate height. Whereas fixed running boards are either too high to be of any use or too low and are more easily damaged by obstacles. The Powersteps also operate independent of one another, raising and lowing depending on which door was opened – the driver’s side or passenger’s side.
Powerstep running boards are great options for the preservation of both form and function.
