Powerstep 22- GM P/U 1500

The AMP Research PowerStep 22 for GM P/U 1500 is a power-deploying side step system engineered for 2022 and newer full-size General Motors pickup trucks in crew cab configuration. Built with black anodized aluminum construction, this motorized step platform deploys automatically when the driver's door opens and retracts when the door closes—eliminating the need for manual boarding and egress while maintaining a streamlined profile when not in use. The PowerStep serves operators, fleet managers, and truck owners who require frequent entry and exit to high-profile vehicles in operational, commercial, or industrial environments.

The system weighs 61.7 pounds and spans 81.5 inches in length, designed to integrate with the truck's factory geometry without compromising suspension geometry or departure angles. The aluminum platform resists corrosion in harsh weather and salt-air environments, while the black anodized finish maintains low-reflectance visibility suitable for law enforcement and security applications. Power deployment offers significant ergonomic advantages for personnel wearing duty belts, body armor, or carrying equipment—reducing strain on knees and hips during repeated boarding cycles common in patrol work, transport operations, or field deployment scenarios. Installation includes the complete mount kit, requiring no additional hardware purchases.

This system is rated for crew cab platforms, which prioritize interior cabin space and accommodate standard-duty vehicle operations. The pair configuration ensures symmetrical installation on both driver and passenger sides. The motorized mechanism reduces manual force requirements compared to stationary steps, a meaningful advantage in high-tempo operational environments or for personnel with mobility considerations. The AMP Research PowerStep 22 for GM P/U 1500 represents a direct retrofit solution requiring proper integration with the truck's 12-volt electrical system and door-actuator wiring.
