Just curious. On my 2018 with AMP steps, when I opened the drivers side door only the drivers side step would deploy. On my 2021 with the factory steps, when I opened the drivers door both sides would deploy. Can you tell me how the 2021+ AMP steps work?

Driver's side doors open driver's steps only, passenger side doors opens passenger's steps only.

How did you deal with the ABS module on the driver side rear?

I just moved it up a few inches and secured it using only the higher bolt holes. Can take a picture later if you like.

Is there any indication that having the steps folded in like that improves efficiency at all? Or is the difference negligible?

Regardless, I love the feature and plan on getting it if/when I get my truck. Interestingly, when I took the Ford survey last month, it asked if I would add power steps to a lariat and I answered yes. Makes me wonder if 2024 MY will have the option.

Where did you get them? Mine have been backordered for months.

Originally I had ordered my truck with power boards ($200 upcharge if I remember correctly), but unfortunately the option was cancelled by Ford. Factory would be nicer as you wouldn't need to do the after the fact wiring.

Yah sure, thanks. I ended up flipping mine upside down and using the left two bolts thinking straight up wouldn’t work, but I’d rather go your way.

Not sure this is knowable without having a pro BUT, think these would work with a Pro trim?

 

[skyak]

I can’t see why they wouldn’t. I would assume the same running board studs are in place and the wiring would be the same.

Mine is a pro. So yes!

Looks like motor rubs a little.

Looking good!

I'm waiting on official support for the new Smart Series.
