AMP Research PowerStep XL Power Running Boards | 2021-2026 Bronco 4-Door

AMP Research PowerStep XL Running Boards for 2021-2026 Ford Bronco 4-Door & 2019-2024 Ford Ranger

The AMP Research PowerStep XL is the premium automatic running board solution for lifted Ford Bronco and Ford Ranger owners who demand superior accessibility without compromising ground clearance. Designed with an extra-low deployment position, the PowerStep XL provides a stepping surface approximately 3 inches lower than the standard AMP PowerStep, making entry and exit significantly easier for lifted vehicles, overland builds, and daily-driven trucks.

Because the PowerStep XL automatically deploys when a door is opened and retracts when the doors close, drivers benefit from a clean factory appearance, improved aerodynamics, and maximum ground clearance when off-road. The integrated LED lighting system illuminates the stepping area at night, improving safety and convenience whether you're entering the vehicle at a remote campsite, job site, or parking lot.

According to AMP Research engineering standards, power-deploying running boards should deliver OEM-level reliability while maintaining exceptional strength. The PowerStep XL achieves this through a die-cast aluminum linkage system, weather-resistant electric motors, corrosion-resistant components, and a rugged black finish designed to withstand mud, snow, gravel, road salt, and harsh environmental conditions.

For overland enthusiasts, families, and owners running larger tires or suspension lifts, the additional drop provided by the PowerStep XL can dramatically improve accessibility while preserving the aggressive appearance of the Bronco or Ranger. With a weight capacity of up to 600 pounds per side and a comprehensive plug-and-play wiring system, this running board system delivers premium functionality with proven durability.

Why Overlanders and Lifted Truck Owners Choose PowerStep XL

Traditional running boards often reduce ground clearance while fixed side steps can still be difficult to access on lifted vehicles. AMP Research solved both challenges by engineering a system that remains hidden during driving yet deploys automatically when needed.

The PowerStep XL takes this concept further by lowering the step position approximately three additional inches compared to the standard PowerStep. This added reach is especially beneficial for lifted Broncos, larger tire packages, roof-top tent builds, and family-oriented vehicles where passenger accessibility is a priority.

Its weather-resistant construction, powerful electric drive motors, integrated LED lighting, and industry-leading durability have made the PowerStep XL one of the most respected automatic running board systems available for the Bronco and Ranger platforms.
