The boards deploy automatically, swinging out and dropping down into a low step position at the rocker panel, then retract back up into a rugged protective housing when they are not in use. The XL deploys four inches lower than other PowerStep models, which on a lifted rig is the difference between climbing up into the cab and stepping into it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoard construction is die-cast aluminum throughout, and the finish on it runs two steps deep: anodizing on the aluminum, then a military-grade PTFE (Teflon) coating over that, which is what guards against surface corrosion. The step area runs cab length and measures 6 inches wide, with a textured, slip-resistant top surface. That alloy construction carries up to 600 lbs, far past what a traditional fixed side step is rated to hold. Cab-length coverage means the same step is there at the rear doors, not just the front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOverview Video\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"video-embed\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/p_GBuMlrdvg\" title=\"AMP Research PowerStep XL running boards overview video\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFour inches of extra drop\u003c\/strong\u003e - The XL is the lowest deploying board in the PowerStep lineup, closing the gap on lifted and heavy-duty trucks where a factory step never reached far enough down.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e600 lb load capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e - Die-cast aluminum construction handles significantly more weight than a traditional fixed side step, so the board stays solid under a full load.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorrosion-resistant finish\u003c\/strong\u003e - Anodizing plus a military-grade PTFE coating on the aluminum guards against surface corrosion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntegrated LED lighting\u003c\/strong\u003e - Each board carries LED chips in its central rail, lighting the step itself and the ground next to it, so entry stays sure-footed before sunrise or after a late run.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCab-length footing\u003c\/strong\u003e - A 6 inch wide, cab-length step area with a textured, slip-resistant surface gives front and rear passengers the same solid place to put a boot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHoused out of the way\u003c\/strong\u003e - Retracted, the boards sit inside a rugged housing at the rocker panel instead of hanging exposed under the truck, which keeps a lifted build looking finished along the rockers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow It Works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA single-motor design drives the boards out and back. The system connects to the truck through the OBDII port using the patented AMP Research Plug-N-Play module, so the module reads the vehicle directly through the diagnostic port instead of splicing into factory wiring. Deployment and retraction are automatic. There is no lever to pull and nothing to switch on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth boards mount to the truck's rocker panels, which is where the housings sit and where the linkage carries each step out and down. Deployed, the XL sits four inches lower than a standard PowerStep. Retracted, each board pulls back up inside its housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor manual control, AMP Research offers an optional override switch that takes the boards out of automatic operation when the situation calls for it.

Coverage runs five years from the date of purchase and stays with the original purchaser on the original vehicle, so it ends if the boards come off that truck or the truck is sold. It does not cover damage from misuse or abuse, from an accident, from improper installation or modification, from inadequate maintenance, or from on-road and off-road hazards. Inside the covered period, AMP Research will repair or replace a defective product at no charge for the part, with labor for removal and reinstallation left to the owner, and reserves the option to substitute a current product of comparable function and value if the original has been discontinued.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003c!-- comparison-table --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow It Compares\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAMP Research PowerStep XL Power Running Boards\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAMP Research PowerStep Power Running Boards\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAMP Research PowerStep XTreme Power Running Boards\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower-retractable running board\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower-retractable running board\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower-retractable running board\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDie-cast aluminum, anodized with PTFE coating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDie-cast aluminum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDie-cast aluminum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStep width and length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 inch wide, cab length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 inch wide, cab length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 inch wide, cab length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLoad rating\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e600 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e600 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e600 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLighting\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLED chips in the central rail\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLED lighting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLED lighting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOperation and power\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle motor, OBDII Plug-N-Play module\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle-motor retracting step\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDual-motor retracting step\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBest for\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLifted and oversized trucks needing extra reach\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStock-height trucks wanting automatic steps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTrucks wanting a heavier-duty step build\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- key-facts --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Facts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to support up to 600 pounds, well past what traditional fixed side steps carry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eXL boards deploy 4 inches lower than every other PowerStep model.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt entirely from die-cast aluminum, anodized and finished with a military-grade PTFE (Teflon) coating.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6 inch wide, cab-length step area with a textured, slip-resistant surface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBacked by AMP Research's 5-Year Limited Warranty.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- faq-block --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/FAQPage\"\u003e\n  \u003cdiv itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3 itemprop=\"name\"\u003eHow much lower does the PowerStep XL drop than a standard PowerStep?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cdiv itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv itemprop=\"text\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe XL boards deploy 4 inches lower than the original PowerStep.
