AMP Research PowerStep Smart Series — Power-Retractable Running Boards
The AMP Research PowerStep Smart Series is the most high-tech power-retractable running board available for the 2021-2023 Ford F-150. These boards automatically deploy when any door opens, dropping significantly lower than fixed running boards for easier entry, then retract flush under the vehicle to maintain ground clearance and a clean factory look.

Professional installation recommended. The PowerStep Smart Series uses a plug-and-play OBDII module — no cutting or splicing factory wiring. Vehicle-specific mounting brackets, hardware, and instructions included. Allow 2-3 hours for complete installation. Boards may need trimming on Regular Cab and SuperCab models. Drilling required on SuperCab models.
In adverse conditions, debris such as mud, dirt, and salt may become trapped in the running board mechanism. Use a pressure washer to clean all 4 hinge/linkage points (avoid spraying motors directly). After washing, apply silicone spray (dry film lubricant only) to all linkage arms and pivot pins, then cycle the door to work in the lubrication. Do not use greases, oils, WD-40, or protectants like Armor All on the running board surface.
