Common Questions
What trim does this fit?
XL trim for 2020-2021 (plus F-450 generally), and XLT trim for 2022.
How long after closing the door does the step retract?
Approximately 3 seconds.
Can I use this to access my roof rack?
Yes. The steps are pressure-sensitive — hold the step deployed by applying foot pressure while closing the door for roof access.
Does this fit a 2023 Super Duty?
No. The 2023+ Super Duty uses the redesigned P702 platform with different electrical architecture, requiring a different AMP PowerStep SKU.
The Obsidian Take
The PowerStep (76236-01A) is for the 2020-2021 F-250/F-350 XL or F-450, or 2022 F-250/F-350 XLT owner who wants a clean, factory-style automatic step. Die-cast aluminum, 600-lb rating, anti-pinch protection, 5-year warranty, no wire splicing.
