compatible side steps

AAmes · Feb 3, 2021

Looking into alternative sidesteps from the factory options. Will side steps that fit the regular 1500 / 1500 rebel be compatible? has anyone found this answer or successfully installed an aftermarket option?

I know that at least one member instaled the Mopar retractable ones successfully.

I ordered the Mopar power boards as they are supposed to fit and integrate with the Uconnect system. I picked it up Monday, then dropped it off again yesterday as I will be out of town until Sunday. They’re undercoating/rust proofing and should have the boards installed by Sunday. When I get back I’ll post again to let everyone know how they work. I know there was another member on here who had them installed but they didn’t show up in the Uconnect system.

I believe that it finally did show up the next day.

Is the fit the same as the regular 1500 vs the TRX? If you get a fixed mount will the holes line up the same to bolt on?

If I modify anything on my LE (and it would be very little), I would like the retractable steps... going to have to look into them.

I probably have a little time, as mine is lost in the parking lot sea of built TRXs...LOL!

I believe @smlaw should have that answer.

Unsure re the alignment for fixed steps.

Did they do a custom install?

smlaw · Feb 3, 2021

same procedure as if line build install...using a junction box etc. Amp should just go ahead and say theirs fit.

Yeah that’s what I thought, plug and play basically. Thanks. One more thing did you get the uconnect4 issue resolved?

Let us know the final comments after the installation is done since I ordered the same one for my TRX. Thanks

I have those on my current AT4. I wonder if they will switch over to my TRX?

Picked up my truck this afternoon. Mopar power running boards. They had to flash the computer but the running boards show up on UConnect. I can deploy and retract them from the control menu.

Where did you order them from ? Direct from the dealer ?

I got them from my dealer. It was $1,900 installed, but they bought my stock Mopar boards back from me for $800 so a net of $1,100. Well worth it to me. The retractable one look WAY cleaner!

Thanks, looking forward to your updates.

Are you able to activate/deactivate them from UConnect? When it snows, it would be great to be able to turn them off as sometimes these things get encased in snow/ice and won't move anway.
