The AMP Research PowerStep Smart Series (86240-01A) is a complete pair of electric retractable running boards for the 2019-2024 Ram 1500 (new DT body), including the TRX. Each board deploys the instant a door opens and retracts flush under the rocker a few seconds after the doors close.
Why owners choose it
- Auto-deploys the instant a door opens, then retracts flush a few seconds after the doors close.
- App control: the Smart Series smartphone app (iOS and Android) lets you override the steps up or down and switch the lights from your phone.
- Obstacle detection — the control module monitors motor current draw and halts the step if it meets an obstacle or jam.
- Integrated LED step lights plus an auxiliary LED port you can power and switch from the app.
- Die-cast aluminum boards with a black textured finish, rated to support 600 lb per side.
- Vehicle-specific plug-in OBD-II wiring harness installs with no wire cutting or splicing.

Sold as a complete kit for both sides of the truck.
