AMP Research

Is it hard to climb into your pickup or up into the bed? AMP Research makes steps and bed accessories that make tall trucks and SUVs easier to use every day. Here you’ll find power running boards, retractable bumper and bed steps, and bed extenders that give more room for long loads.

American solutions for pickups and SUVs

AMP Research is an American brand known for making pickups and large SUVs more practical. While many running boards are fixed, AMP Research specialises in steps that are only there when you need them. The power running boards deploy when the door opens and retract again when it closes, so they stay out of the way off-road and don’t collect dirt. The same thinking runs through the brand’s bed and bumper steps.

AMP Research’s key products

PowerStep is the power running board many associate with the brand. It mounts under the vehicle and connects to the doors, so the step automatically extends and retracts. BedStep is a retractable step under the rear bumper that makes it easier to get into the bed, while BedStep2 sits on the side of the bed. BedXtender is a bed extender used with the tailgate down to keep loads in place. See each product for exact fitment.

Frequently asked questions

How does a PowerStep running board work?

The running board is connected to the vehicle’s doors. When a door opens, the step extends, and when it closes, the step retracts under the vehicle again. This gives you a low step when getting in and more ground clearance when driving.

What is a BedXtender used for?

A BedXtender mounts at the end of the bed and is used with the tailgate down. It forms a frame that keeps long items such as lumber, bikes or kayaks in place, so they don’t slide off the bed.
