Bestop presents a revolution in running board technology - the PowerBoard. The Bestop PowerBoard is a fully automated, heavy-duty side step that extends out to a convenient height within one second of opening your truck's door. When not in use, the PowerBoard retracts under your vehicle, flush against the rocker panels. The Power Board provides easy access to your vehicle when you need it, without the permanent, utilitarian looks of traditional side steps.

The Bestop PowerBoard is wired to your truck's factory door sensors. When it receives an open door signal, it activates the motors to extend the step down and outward by 10 to 12 inches. Within one second, you have an ergonomically friendly stair-like running board that makes stepping into and out of your truck much more natural than traditional side steps. Even children can easily get into the tallest trucks. When the door is closed, the Power Board receives the signal to retract invisibly into a concealed pocket behind the rocker panels. When retracted, you can't tell it was ever there!

The Bestop PowerBoard is built for maximum durability and performance in all extremes. It is built from rust-resistant, OEM-quality materials to withstand rain, snow, salt, and rocks. The anti-pinch, encased weatherproof Power Step motor is tested to perform in temperatures ranging from -40 to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. The running board itself is made from painted aluminum and supports up to 600 pounds.

The fully automated Bestop PowerBoard Running Board is made of the highest quality materials to bring you the most convenient, effective, and attractive access to your vehicle. Bestop backs your PowerBoards with a three-year warranty.

This is a top quality kit. The running boards themselves are really nice aluminum extrusions. The wiring harness is made with heavy gauge wire and heavy duty connectors. The control module is a sealed, potted unit that looks to be very weatherproof and rugged. The mechanical parts installed without a problem and went pretty quickly. The electrical installation was a little more involved as my truck didn't have the connector under the hood so the trigger connections had to be made under the dash. As Murphy predicts, I choose the wrong one of the two purple with gray stripe wires the first time and both driver side doors failed to operate the drivers side running board. After switching the wires, everything was fine. I'm very pleased with the looks and operation of the running boards.

Just installed the PowerBoard steps on our Ram 1500. Great service from Auto Accessories Garage. Prompt shipping and all of the parts were in the box when it arrived. The PowerBoard steps work flawlessly and are a great improvement to the Ram truck.

The powerboards are everything that I was hoping for as far as the look and the preformance. The instructions in some areas are very accurate and in other areas could certainly be improved upon but anyone confident in attempting the installation should be able to improvise a little to get them installed and working perfectly. The instructions say the install will take approximately 4 hours and it took me almost exactly that. They look great, work great and certainly draw attention from truck fans.

Power steps are fast and fairly easy to install. The provided wiring harness was good and just the right length. The downside is that the steps are angled in, meaning that when you step on the board, it's not exactly level. We installed exactly per the instructions; however, there is no adjustment for this.
