Fitment, Shipping & Product Support
The AMP Research PowerStep (SKU 76240-01A) is the automatic, electric-powered retractable running board for the 2019–2024 Ram 1500 New Body (DT platform) — Crew Cab, Quad Cab, and Regular Cab. Die-cast aircraft-quality aluminum linkage, black-anodized and PTFE-coated finish, self-lubricating bushings, stainless steel hinge points and bearings. 6-inch wide, cab-length step boards support up to 600 lbs. Automatically deploys when any door opens; retracts approximately 3 seconds after the door closes. Integrated LED courtesy lighting. Plug-and-play wiring — no door panel disassembly required for Crew Cab. 5-year/60,000-mile warranty.
Crew Cab is a direct bolt-on. Quad Cab and Regular Cab require trimming the step boards, and installation requires drilling. Not compatible with the Ram 1500 Classic (DS platform, 5-lug wheels) — order 76239-01A for that platform instead.

Common Questions
Does Quad Cab really need trimming, or is that only for Regular Cab?
Both Quad Cab and Regular Cab require board trimming and drilling per AMP's own installation documentation. Only Crew Cab is a direct, no-modification bolt-on.
How do I know if I have the DT or DS (Classic) platform?
The Classic (DS) uses 5-lug wheels and the previous-generation rocker geometry. If you're unsure, check your wheel lug count or confirm with your VIN — this kit does not fit the Classic platform.
How long after closing the door does the step retract?
Approximately 3 seconds.
Does this require any wiring modification?
For Crew Cab, no — plug-and-play with no door panel disassembly. For Quad Cab and Regular Cab, drilling is required as part of the installation per AMP's documentation.
The Obsidian Take
The PowerStep (76240-01A) is for the 2019–2024 Ram 1500 DT owner who wants a clean, factory-style automatic step. Die-cast aluminum, 600-lb rating, 5-year/60,000-mile warranty, self-lubricating bushings.
The real install distinction: Crew Cab is a true bolt-on. Quad Cab and Regular Cab both require board trimming and drilling — budget the extra time and tools for either of those cab styles rather than expecting the same install as Crew Cab.
Non-Returnable Notice: Once wiring is connected and the unit is powered, this system is non-returnable per AMP Research policy. Confirm platform (DT vs. DS) and cab configuration before ordering.
