Engineered to endure severe sub-zero winter freeze cycles, thick road mud, and aggressive de-icing chemicals across Canadian transit routes, these automatic power-deploying steps extend immediately when any door opens and tuck away flush beneath the rocker panel within three seconds of closing. Automotive customization specialists emphasize that these power steps preserve critical underbody ground clearance and aerodynamic range while offering a wide, secure stepping height for all passengers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike standard gas-engine step kits, this specialized configuration includes a custom wiring harness and mounting brackets designed to clear high-voltage battery enclosures, underbody frame cross-members, and electrical conduits unique to PowerBoost Hybrid and Lightning EV platforms. Connecting via a direct Plug-N-Play OBD-II port integration module, it reads door-ajar signals directly from the CAN-bus computer system without requiring splice connections. Built from die-cast aircraft-grade aluminum alloy with an all-weather textured black powder-coat finish, each side supports up to 600 lbs and features integrated low-profile LED courtesy lights for nighttime safety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification Feature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEngineered Product Details\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand Alignment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAMP Research (PowerStep™ Series)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number (MPN)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e76252-01A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStore SKU Identifier\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBGQD_76252-01A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight Capacity Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e600 lbs.
