Bumper Step 07-13 GM P/U 1500

The Bumper Step 07-13 GM P/U 1500 from AMP Research is a practical running board designed to provide safe, convenient entry and exit for full-size pickup truck owners. Whether you're working on vehicle maintenance, loading cargo, or simply climbing into a lifted truck, this retractable step extends functional accessibility beyond what factory bumpers offer. Built for the 2007–2013 Chevrolet and GMC 1500-series pickups, this aftermarket upgrade addresses a real need among truck enthusiasts who've raised their vehicles or simply want easier access to the truck bed and cab without compromising aesthetics when the step retracts.

AMP Research engineered this bumper step with a motorized retractable mechanism that automatically deploys when the driver's door opens and retracts when the door closes, eliminating manual deployment. The integrated step extends beyond the vehicle profile for secure footing, while the electric actuator system is powered by the truck's battery and controlled via the door latch sensor—no switches or buttons required. At 10.41 lbs and measuring 21 inches in width, the step integrates seamlessly with the rear bumper assembly, utilizing the vehicle's existing structural mounting points for safety and durability. The heavy-duty aluminum and stainless steel construction resists corrosion and road salt, critical for trucks regularly driven in harsh climates or off-road conditions.

Mechanics and truck owners who've upgraded suspension, installed tonneau covers, or added bed racks will particularly benefit from the Bumper Step 07-13 GM P/U 1500, as it restores safe access to elevated truck heights. Installation requires basic hand tools and moderate mechanical aptitude—mounting brackets bolt directly to factory bumper reinforcement, and electrical connection taps into the existing door latch circuit. This step is compatible only with 2007–2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 models; verify your model year and trim before purchase. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper door sensor calibration and electrical safety, though experienced DIY mechanics can complete the job in 1–2 hours.
