Power deployed steps vs. fixed steps

[Adventureboy]

AMP produced the factory power steps for the 2015 to 2020 model years. 2021+ are made by Magna.

We may never know for sure, however, I expect they are still under the AMP copyright since that is where the design came from. Magna probably has the manufacturing capacity that Ford needs.

They did it for cost. Magna is cheaper.

There are wiring harnesses and modules missing for the steps. Then you have to program with FORSCAN.

Here's a thread on our ICE sister forum about guys adding steps to their trucks. You'll have to decide if the money you save is worth the time and modding you'll have to do.

Good luck.

The power running boards / steps are cute / great until they are not ... snow and ice jam them up during winter. We had them once and never again!
