AMP Research – Innovative Truck & SUV Accessories at Southern Car Parts

At Southern Car Parts, we are proud to offer the full line of AMP Research products, a brand that has redefined convenience and functionality for truck and SUV owners everywhere. Known for engineering solutions that blend strength, style, and practicality, AMP Research is trusted by enthusiasts and professionals who demand more from their vehicles.

From the revolutionary PowerStep® automatic running boards to the versatile BedXtender™ HD and convenient BedStep® systems, AMP Research continues to lead the industry in design and performance. Every product is made in the USA and built to handle years of hard use while delivering the kind of innovation that makes life easier.

Why AMP Research Stands Out

When you choose AMP Research, you’re not just buying an accessory—you’re adding smart engineering to your vehicle. Each product is created to solve common challenges truck and SUV drivers face, while maintaining OEM-level fit and finish.

Unlike generic aftermarket add-ons, AMP Research designs vehicle-specific parts that integrate seamlessly with your truck or SUV. That means easy installation, flawless operation, and accessories that look like they were factory-installed.

Benefits of AMP Research Products:

• American Made – Designed, engineered, and built in the USA.

• Durability You Can Trust – Heavy-duty materials built for long-term use.

• Vehicle-Specific Fitment – Precision fit for trucks and SUVs.

• Innovative Solutions – Functionality that makes owning a truck easier.

• Engineered for Real Life – Tested in harsh weather and tough conditions.

AMP Research PowerStep® – Automatic Running Boards

The flagship product from AMP Research is the PowerStep®, a fully automated running board system. When you open your truck’s door, the step instantly deploys to provide a wide, stable platform for easy entry and exit. Close the door, and the step tucks neatly away, preserving your truck’s ground clearance and clean appearance.

Key Features of PowerStep®:

• Smart Deployment – Automatically extends when doors open, retracts when they close.

• Wide Non-Slip Step – Safe footing even in rain, snow, or mud.

• High Weight Capacity – Supports up to 600 lbs. on each side.

• LED Lighting – Illuminates the step area at night for added safety.

• Streamlined Appearance – Hidden when not in use, maintaining factory lines.

Perfect for lifted trucks, off-road rigs, and daily drivers, the PowerStep® is one of the most practical and popular upgrades in the truck accessory market.

AMP Research BedXtender™ HD – More Cargo Space

Need more room in your truck bed? The BedXtender™ HD is the ultimate solution. With the tailgate down, this aluminum cage flips out to add up to two extra feet of secure cargo space. Flip it inward, and it works as a containment barrier to keep smaller loads from sliding around.

Advantages of the BedXtender™ HD:

• Expand Your Bed – Gain extra cargo capacity instantly.

• Flip Inward – Secure smaller loads inside the truck bed.

• Lightweight Aluminum – Strong, rust-resistant, and built to last.

• Easy to Install – Mounts quickly with included hardware.

Whether hauling tools, camping gear, motorcycles, or lumber, the BedXtender™ HD makes your truck bed more versatile.

AMP Research BedStep® & BedStep2™ – Easy Truck Bed Access

For easier access to the truck bed, AMP Research offers the BedStep® (rear bumper mounted) and BedStep2™ (mounted near the wheel well). These retractable steps are spring-loaded for simple foot deployment and tuck away when not in use.

Why Truck Owners Love Them:

• Quick Deployment – Just step down and the BedStep drops into place.

• Strong Build – Holds up to 300 lbs. of weight.

• Convenient Placement – Choose rear bumper or side access.

• All-Weather Ready – Designed to handle mud, snow, and salt exposure.

These steps make grabbing tools, gear, or equipment from your bed effortless.

Designed for Trucks & SUVs

AMP Research products are tailored to work with the most popular trucks and SUVs on the road today, including:

• Ford F-150, Super Duty

• Chevrolet Silverado & GMC Sierra

• RAM 1500 and Heavy Duty trucks

• Toyota Tacoma & Tundra

• Jeep Gladiator

• SUVs like the Ford Expedition and Chevy Tahoe

By building each product specifically for these platforms, AMP Research ensures perfect fitment, seamless integration, and maximum functionality.

Built Tough for Real-World Use

Truck owners demand reliability, and AMP Research delivers. Each product is built using aircraft-grade aluminum, stainless steel hardware, and automotive-grade coatings to withstand years of hard use.

Every design is tested against extreme temperatures, salt, dirt, and heavy loads, ensuring your AMP Research upgrade performs in all conditions—from city streets to rugged worksites.
