The AMP Research PowerStep Smart Series (86235-01A) is a complete pair of electric retractable running boards for the 2017-2019 Ford F-250/F-350 and 2017-2018 F-450 Super Duty Crew Cab. 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.
