Construction & Design:

The PowerStep Xtreme is constructed from high-strength die-cast aluminum, providing a lightweight yet incredibly robust foundation. This material choice ensures resistance to corrosion and damage from road debris or harsh weather. The running board’s surface features a high-texture powder-coated finish that enhances grip and durability, maintaining its aggressive appearance over time.

Dual motors power the electric deployment system, delivering more torque than standard single-motor designs.
