Power Running Boards

RockBirds18 · November 4, 2015

Looking into getting some power running boards for 15 Silverado. Seems as if AMP has the market locked down of you want these but was wondering IF there was any other power running board options? Anyone know of any or had experience with others?

The only other one that I have heard of is Bestop.

Amp and Bestop are the two i know of and from past experience the Amps are better in the long run. Amp even has the Power Step XL's now designed for lifted trucks to give an additional 2-3 inches of drop.

GM is coming out with a new set for the 2016 Crew Cabs.

Not quite sure I like how they don't tuck up as high as the AMP power steps.....and if they are coming from GM, guaranteed to be $2000 or more lol

It's only for the High Country right now, And I'm sure its ECM controlled but its a 995 dollar option.

Its going to be available on the GMC SLT models and above.

I love my amps best thing I have done to the truck. Also everyone who has got in my truck loves them.

I don't have any experience with them but Bestop has a wireless version where you don't have to splice into the truck wiring or the OBDII port:

Seemed like a great idea to me, so I looked into the Bestop steps before getting my AMP Powersteps in June 2014. Things may have changed, but the Bestop did not have a lot of good reviews, their warranty was shorter than AMP and every truck accessories dealer I called in the Austin area said they stopped carrying them because of all of the problems. Mind you, things might have changed, but you should do a lot of research before buying them or any of these products for that matter.

Do a search of Bestop...there was also something about the relationship of Bestop to AMP parting ways...

About to install Pro Comp 2.25" kit w/ ko2 305/55r20 and was debating on installing the amps. I like the look of the XLs but not sure if they're overkill for a 2.25" kit. What are y'alls opinions? Thanks

Too much for that little lift. My standard AMP steps are just about right for 2-4". I doth think you'd need the XL until you get above 4" (fender measurement)

That wireless version could be a game changer. Amp needs to step up.

Speaking of Bestop, are their lights better / whiter than the blue things that come with the Amps?
