Some good information on the AMP Power Steps in this thread:

 
Installed AMP’s, really happy with them. You cant go wrong with either the Mopar or AMP, Mopar pays AMP a licensing fee & manufactures their steps via a 3rd party so in a way they are reproductions. I went with AMP’s for a few reasons - AMP’s deploy faster than Mopars & they’re more low profile, imo think they look slightly better. W/ the Mopar steps its slick w/ Uconnect but w. AMP’s override switch the ignition doesnt have to be on to move them up & down so thats a plus especially when washing the truck. The puddle lights are useless when you open the doors so the LED lights w/ the AMP’s are great too. Installed the over-ride switch by the parking brake, easy to access from outside the truck. I had the MOPAR oem running boards prior, w/ these power steps its easier to get in & out, its a more natural step up & down. View attachment 21162View attachment 21163View attachment 21164

Looks great! Did you get the Xtreme (2 motor steps) or the standard (1 motor steps)?
 
That's what I did. It only adds a couple hours of extra work for them after they perform the PDI. Make sure you use the Mopar discount coupons for the steps and install(I believe it's 10% off for install Service, and 15% off Accessories for the steps). I ordered my steps from their parts department months before I got my truck(just in case there was a parts shortage), and they just held them until my truck showed up.
Where can I find Mopar discount coupons?

It's all on the Mopar site. They still have the 10% off Services and 15% off Accessories. So make sure you get a discount on both the hardware and the installation.

 
I went with mopar. my 2019 limited had them and I really liked them

NOTE: Max value for each is $200.
 
Reviving this thread as plenty of new TRX owners are dabbling in both. Does anyone have any updates for the new Amp Powerstep Smart Series version vs Mopar? I am all about Mopar steps but if the newer Smart Series has "better" quality and functionality then I am all ears..

Thank you!
 
cannot give a comparison but I put the AMP smart series on in Feb. Had rock rails but needed a proper step. Work great, doors open and they come right down, the override on the phone works well. No issues except the motors polarity was reversed. After a quick call to AMP and their reseller I found out that they had an issue in the factory and quick fix was all it took for them to work properly. (cut/butt connector)
 
Serious question, why are guys choosing Smart over the regular.
 
The Smart Series has a different tread pattern which may matter if looks is a preference
 
Correct the override is on your phone via an app vs mopar is on the Uconnect to deploy. I opted for the mopar. The deploy height is perfect and if I want to deploy the steps and keep them deployed I just have to hit the vehicle button on Uconnect then power steps and they deploy and stay deployed until the truck moves then they retract.
