AMP Research manufactures automatic power-deploying running boards, bed steps, and bed extenders designed to improve truck and SUV accessibility and utility.
AMP Research is an American manufacturer known for inventing and producing innovative accessories for trucks, Jeeps, and SUVs. The brand is most famous for the PowerStep™, an automatic, electric-powered running board that instantly extends when doors open and retracts safely out of sight when doors close, maintaining the vehicle’s ground clearance and aerodynamics.
Beyond the PowerStep, AMP Research offers a range of practical solutions for vehicle access and cargo management, including the BedStep™ bumper step and the BedXTender HD™ for expanding truck bed capacity. Now a brand under RealTruck, AMP Research continues to engineer durable, all-weather products designed to withstand rugged use while providing seamless ergonomic support for vehicle owners.
