AMP Research PowerStep Xtreme Electric Running Boards AMP78239-01A for 2018 Ram 1500 and Select Ram Trucks

"The original power-retractable running boards since 2002—and the most powerful PowerStep ever built. The AMP Research® PowerStep™ Xtreme running boards take everything proven about the standard PowerStep and add a dual-motor design engineered to power through snow, ice, mud, and debris, delivering consistent, reliable operation where single-motor boards struggle. If you live in or regularly drive in harsh conditions, this is the PowerStep built for you. ? Like all PowerStep variants, the Xtreme running boards are constructed from corrosion-resistant aluminum with an advanced powder coat finish engineered to handle tough daily use year after year. Stainless steel hinge pins and hardware add long-term durability at every pivot point. Each board supports up to 300 lbs. per door—the same proven load capacity as the rest of the PowerStep family. The dual-motor design is the defining upgrade—two motors per side deliver the extra torque needed to operate reliably in demanding environments where ice buildup, packed snow, or debris would slow or stop a single-motor board. Beyond the drivetrain, the Xtreme shares the full PowerStep feature set—a 6-in.-wide slip-resistant step surface, integrated LED lighting for confident footing in low-light conditions, and automatic deployment and retraction that keep lines clean and ground clearance maximized when the boards aren't in use. ? AMP Research's patented plug-n-play design connects directly to your vehicle for unmatched seamless integration—no improvised attachments, no complicated wiring, no magnet alignment issues. An optional override switch is available for manual control when needed. Vehicle-specific fitment ensures a flawless fit right out of the box. ? Professional installation is recommended for all PowerStep Xtreme running boards. All hardware, bracketry, wiring, and vehicle-specific instructions are included. Drilling is required on select applications. Backed by a 5-year limited warranty." PowerStep Xtreme Electric Running Board for Extreme Conditions fits 2019-2021 Ram 1500 Classic, 2018 Ram 1500, 2018 Ram 2500/3500, 2019-2021 Ram 2500/3500-Diesel Only for 2019, All Cabs except for Mega Cab with AirRide AMP78239-01A will not work on 2018-2023 Ram 2500/3500 Mega Cab trucks with factory equipped air spring suspension.

Brief Description: AMP Research PowerStep Xtreme running boards are engineered for trucks that regularly encounter snow, ice, mud, and debris. Part number AMP78239-01A features a dual-motor design that delivers additional torque for dependable deployment and retraction in demanding conditions. The boards automatically deploy when a door opens and retract beneath the vehicle when the door closes, preserving ground clearance and a clean exterior appearance.

Constructed from corrosion-resistant aluminum with a durable high-texture powder-coated finish, each running board is built for long-term use. Stainless steel hinge pins and hardware reinforce the pivot points, while the 6-inch-wide slip-resistant step surface provides stable footing in all-weather conditions. Integrated LED lighting illuminates the step area for easier entry and exit in low-light environments. Each board supports up to 300 pounds per door.

The patented plug-and-play system is designed for seamless vehicle integration without improvised attachments, complicated wiring, or magnet alignment issues. This application includes vehicle-specific brackets, hardware, wiring, and installation instructions. Drilling may be required on select applications, and professional installation is recommended. The PowerStep Xtreme is backed by a 5-year or 60,000-mile limited warranty and fits select 2018 Ram 1500, 2018 Ram 2500, 2018 Ram 3500, and 2019-2021 Ram 1500 Classic, Ram 2500, and Ram 3500 models.
