Powerstep Xtreme 19- 19- Dodge Ram 1500

The AMP Research PowerStep Xtreme 19 for the 2019 Dodge Ram 1500 is a power-deploying side step system engineered to bridge the gap between truck bed and ground on full-size RAM trucks. Unlike fixed step bars, the motorized deployment mechanism automatically extends when the driver's door opens and retracts when closed, eliminating the fixed protrusion that complicates parking and maneuvering in tight spaces. This dual-functionality design makes the PowerStep Xtreme 19 a practical solution for daily truck owners who need cab access without sacrificing clearance.

Built from black-anodized aluminum, the PowerStep Xtreme steps are engineered to withstand weather exposure and repeated use cycles inherent to truck ownership. The 81-inch overall length spans the full cab side, providing a stable stepping surface across the entire door opening—critical for driver safety when entering or exiting vehicles lifted above factory height. AMP Research supplies a complete mount kit with the pair, meaning installation connects directly to OEM attachment points without fabrication or modification to the truck frame. The 59-pound weight per pair reflects the motorized actuator mechanism; this added heft is offset by the durability advantage of fewer moving parts exposed to road salt and mud.

RAM 1500 owners who run aftermarket suspension lifts, larger tire packages, or simply value the convenience of hands-free step deployment choose the PowerStep Xtreme over traditional fixed bars. The automatic retraction feature prevents catching on trailer hitch receivers, parking barriers, or loading dock lips—a real advantage on job sites and in tight urban parking. The system integrates with factory door latches, meaning step extension and retraction cycle seamlessly with normal truck operation, requiring no manual adjustment or driver intervention.
