AMP Research 76152-01A PowerStep Plug N Play Running Boards Automatic Electric Steps | 2021-2023 Ford F-150 (Non-Hybrid)

Overview

The AMP Research PowerStep Plug N Play (Part #76152-01A) is the ultimate automatic electric running board for the 2021–2023 Ford F-150 (non-hybrid). Engineered for effortless vehicle entry and exit, the PowerStep automatically deploys when you open your door and retracts flush with the rocker panel when closed — giving your truck a clean, aggressive look while keeping full ground clearance on the trail or jobsite. This is the definitive retractable running board upgrade for F-150 owners who want premium functionality without cutting wires or drilling holes.

Key Features & Benefits

• Plug N Play Installation — Connects directly to the factory door harness with zero wire cutting or splicing, making installation clean, reversible, and dealer-safe. No aftermarket controller required.
• Automatic Deploy & Retract — Steps extend within seconds of opening any door and retract fully when doors close, providing a low step-in height on demand without sacrificing ground clearance when you're moving.
• 600 lb. Load Capacity — Heavy-duty aluminum and steel construction supports up to 600 lbs., making it safe for all passengers including those carrying gear or equipment.
• Fully Sealed Motor & Linkage — IP67-rated motor and sealed linkage arms resist water, mud, and road debris — purpose-built for trucks that work and play hard in all weather conditions.
• OEM-Style Fit & Finish — Precision-engineered mounting brackets attach to factory body mount locations with no drilling required, delivering a factory-integrated appearance from the factory floor.
• Non-Skid Step Surface — Textured, UV-stable step surface provides confident footing in wet, muddy, or icy conditions while resisting fading and cracking over time.
• Black Powder Coat Finish — Durable black powder-coated aluminum steps and housing resist corrosion and complement the F-150's styling across all trim levels.
• Maintains Ground Clearance — Steps retract fully while driving, protecting the boards from off-road obstacles and preserving your truck's approach and departure angles.

Installation

The AMP Research PowerStep Plug N Play is designed for a straightforward, enthusiast-friendly installation that typically takes 2–4 hours with basic hand tools. The Plug N Play harness connects directly to the factory door-ajar wiring — no relays, no controllers, no wire splicing. Mounting brackets bolt to existing factory body mount locations with no drilling into the frame or body required. While many owners complete this install at home in their driveway, professional installation by a certified shop is always an option. Full step-by-step instructions are included, and AMP Research provides installation support resources online.

Is this CARB compliant? The PowerStep is an electro-mechanical accessory and does not affect vehicle emissions systems, making CARB compliance a non-issue for this product category.

Will this work with my factory side steps? Existing OEM running boards or side steps must be removed prior to installation. The PowerStep mounting system replaces the factory step mounting locations.
