New Running Boards

First time posting and brand new Bronco Owner. I LOVE THIS DAMN TRUCK!

I have always been a fan of the electric running boards from Amp Research and the new Powerstep Xtreme are no exception. My problem is that the ones that they make now are not fitted (or wired) for the 2025 Raptor. Are there any motorized alternatives for my new rig?

I know that Rough Country has a set and am waiting to hear if they are compatible with the Raptor.

Any help is sincerely appreciated.

Rockslide Engineering, available in the BN Store, makes popular power steps:

I have owned a set of these for three years of rock crawling. They were very reliable for the first two years. But I'm running into some issues now and replacing the motors and electronics. I'm not sure how long these motorized steps should last before issues crop up. YMMV.

I have emailed them to determine if they are compatible with the 2025 Bronco Raptor.

Just heard back from them. they say that they are compatible with the Raptor. Looking at them seriously because Amp Research is 90 days out for compatibility.

These are actual Rock Sliders as well as steps. If you really want to increase the strength, buy the slider covers. Also, sign up for the Bronco Nation Store and become a member. They have an excellent discount on these slider and the membership is cheap.

Definitely will do. What do the Step Slider Skid Plates look like when installed?

Also, the only hesitation at this point is I am wondering if the steps are as narrow as they look in the photos.

Here are a couple pics of mine so you can see the width at a couple different angles. They are plenty wide to step on. Also, mine have the extra steel plate.

As a fellow Warthog owner, I have Rock Slide Engineering Step Sliders and I can't recommend them enough. Yes, they are spendy, but well worth the money. I love them.

Yeah, the ones for the 4 door. I included the lights assy as well, so when they deploy you have lights. I haven't done the door delete kits as I haven't taken the door off.
