Construction & Design:

The PowerStep Xtreme is engineered with ruggedness and longevity in mind. Its core structure is crafted from die-cast aluminum, which offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio and superior resistance to corrosion compared to steel alternatives. The high-texture powder-coated finish further protects the running board from scratches, chips, and environmental damage, ensuring it maintains its aggressive appearance over time.

Dual motors power the electric deployment mechanism, delivering smooth and reliable operation even under heavy use. The running board’s aggressive tread pattern is specifically designed to provide maximum grip in slippery or uneven conditions, making it a dependable step in all weather scenarios.
