AMP Research Announces Power Step for the Toyota Tundra


After considerable development and testing, the AMP Research Power Step is now available for the second-generation Tundra pickup including Double and CrewMax cabs.


This new step fits the truck perfectly in terms of function and form with an ergonomic design that blends seamlessly with the Tundra. The AMP Power Step extends along the full length of the cab, deploying to a natural step-in height established specifically for the high-riding Tundra. When deployed, the step provides a lower, more easily accessible step-in height than standard running boards or tube steps.

As the smarter, safer alternative to jumping into your pickup, only AMP Research power-deploying running boards provide easy entry into the cab with the opening of any door. Shut the doors, and the step automatically tucks away to maintain the smooth lines of the vehicle. Its weather-tight motor and drive system does all the work in one smooth operation. Safety features include a 600 lb. weight rating per side, and anti-pinch technology that prevents the step from moving if resistance is encountered while in motion.

The kit includes everything needed for installation, including vehicle specific mounting hardware, detailed instructions, wiring harnesses and an electronic control unit. Backed by a 3-year/36,000 mile limited warranty, and made in the USA, the AMP Research Power Step is nationally distributed by Bestop.
