Reviews: AMP Research PowerStep XL Running Boards

The AMP steps have worked flawlessly so far, I have had no issues with them. They still look great and show no signs of wear.

Best brand and functional side step , my family loved the results.

These Amp Powerstep XL side steps are amazing. Great quality and easy install.

Steps are great and instructions are very good as well. However, the wiring diagram was wrong for my 2021 Gladiator. The instructions called for three wires to go to the white plug/harness when actually the white plug/harness is for the drivers side and the black harness is for the passenger side. That said the two control wires for the passenger side goes to the black one and the drivers side to the white one. Hope this helps!

We love them my truck has a 5” lift and wife used to have to carry a step ladder in the backseat to get in and out with. These running boards are perfect and we’re installed beautifully

Overall it is a great product. I just don't care for the alignment. The running boards look like they should be moved forward around 3" or so on each side to be centered properly.

I haven't installed the steps yet but my pre-purchase research showed that though the product is great, the manual is sub-par. The DRAWINGS are vague at best & in gray scale. The text isn't clear enough to make up for the poor drawings. We need to bring back the job of "technical writer" as they seemingly don't exist any more! I was HOPING by the time the steps arrived the manual I saw online would have been updated but sadly no (I read reviews where other complained about the same issues). A color manual with actual marked up photos would be a great addition to the product! My other gripe is the arrogant customer service rep who I called to ask a few pre purchase questions when trying to narrow my step manufacturer choices down. The AMP guy kept referring to the product as "well "my" product" does or doesn't do XYZ. If it were "his" product he wouldn't be answering phones! Anyway the parts look very nicely made & thankfully my electro/mechanical background will help me get them installed properly:-)

Manufacture may need to rethink packaging step was bent during shipping and will need to be replaced. Step take little getting use to it doesn’t stick as far out from the body of the truck as a standard step and is lower to the ground. It’ll just take some getting use to.
