And they can cop plenty of mud, road grime and the odd rock when you’re off-road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AMP Research PowerStep is different. These are power-retractable side steps that stay tucked up under the body when you don’t need them, then automatically drop down the moment you open the door. Close the door, and they retract back out of sight for a cleaner look and better clearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt for real use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe boards use die-cast aluminium with stainless steel components for strength and corrosion resistance, finished in a black PTFE coating to help protect against oxidation and abrasions.
