The AMP Research PowerStep Smart Series (86252-01A) is a complete pair of electric retractable running boards for the SuperCrew Ford F-150 PowerBoost hybrid (2021-2023) and F-150 Lightning EV (2022-2025). 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.
What's included
Sold as a complete kit for both sides of the truck. Includes the driver- and passenger-side PowerStep Smart Series assemblies with motors, a vehicle-specific plug-in OBD-II wiring harness and Smart Series control module, mounting brackets and hardware, integrated LED step lights, and an installation guide. Some cab configurations require trimming the board to length; professional installation is recommended.
Fitment
Fits the SuperCrew F-150 PowerBoost hybrid (2021-2023) and the F-150 Lightning EV (2022-2025). Does not fit the standard gas or EcoBoost F-150.
Which PowerStep fits your truck
This 86252-01A is the dedicated Smart Series board for the PowerBoost hybrid and Lightning EV, whose battery and routing differ from the gas trucks. The standard 2021-2024 gas F-150 uses the 86152-01A.
FAQ
FAQ
Does the 86252-01A fit a standard gas F-150?
No. It is built for the SuperCrew F-150 PowerBoost hybrid (2021-2023) and Lightning EV (2022-2025). The standard gas/EcoBoost F-150 uses the 86152-01A.
Can I control the steps from my phone?
Yes. The Smart Series smartphone app (iOS and Android) overrides the steps up or down and controls the LED lighting, and the module's obstacle detection stops the step if it meets resistance.
Is this PowerStep sold as a pair?
Yes. This part number includes both the driver- and passenger-side assemblies as a complete two-side kit.
What warranty does AMP Research provide?
AMP backs the PowerStep with a 5-year/60,000-mile limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
