AMP Research PowerStep
6.9 our score out of 10

What owners say
They praise how low the step drops compared with fixed boards and the Go Rhino E1 (two Tundra owners switched from the E1 for that reason), the short delay before it retracts and the lack of door magnets. Most complaints come at install time.
