Powerstep XL 17- Ford F250

The AMP Research PowerStep XL 17 for Ford F250 is a power-deploying side step system engineered for crew cab trucks that demand both functionality and durability. Built for Ford full-size trucks from 2017–2019, this electrically actuated step retracts flush against the vehicle when not in use and deploys automatically as the driver's door opens, solving the challenge of high running boards on modern heavy-duty pickups. Mechanics and truck owners appreciate the PowerStep XL because it combines convenience with safety, reducing strain on knees and joints while improving entry and exit on vehicles with substantial ground clearance.

This dual-step assembly leverages AMP Research's proprietary motor-driven deployment mechanism, which operates silently and reliably across thousands of cycles. The aluminum construction with black anodized finish resists corrosion and road salt—critical for trucks operating in harsh environments—while the 93-inch length ensures full-width coverage on crew cabs. At 113 lbs per pair, the system is substantial enough to support occupants safely yet engineered to minimize drag and fuel penalty. The included mount kit streamlines installation, with factory-integration points that preserve the truck's structural integrity and electrical architecture.

F250 owners, contractors, and fleet operators benefit most from the PowerStep XL's reliable performance in work environments where repeated entry and exit accelerates wear on traditional manual steps. Crew cab configurations—where rear passengers need convenient access—see the greatest utility gain. Installation requires basic automotive knowledge and access to factory wiring harnesses; professional installation is recommended to ensure proper door-sensor calibration and weatherproofing. The system is compatible exclusively with 2017–2019 Ford full-size trucks in crew cab configuration and will not fit single cab or standard cab variants.
