For the most unique and practical running boards available, go with the Amp Research PowerStep Running Boards. This is a fully automatic running board that tucks under the truck when no one is getting into or out of the truck, but once the door opens the running boards will quickly extend out to provide a step. This will save you ground clearance while your driving but still makes life easier with its automatic motion.
Video: AMP Running Boards Review
The PowerStep Running Boards extend 10-12" out from under the truck in under 1 second. It's not like waiting for an elevator door, these strong steps are there immediately when you need them. As soon as the door opens, they extend and when the door closes, they retract into their original position.
Even with a retractable hinge, these running boards still manage to maintain a load capacity of 600lbs. The steps are constructed of aluminum slabs that are powder coated with a textured finish for maximum grip and durability. Stainless Steel pivot pins provide zero maintenance precision motion over and over again.
Activated by your existing door sensors, the extending running boards are accompanied by LED's to make the step into your truck that much safer. Amp went above and beyond what most running board companies would consider safe and practical.
Amp Research backs up the PowerStep with a "no nonsense" 5 year or 60,000 mile warranty. This product was made in the USA where it was designed, engineered, and manufactured in Irvine, California.

"It's a wide non-slip step that tucks away when you don't need it, but offers a better stepping location than any other running board when you do need it."
"Because it is a powered step, installation does require tapping into the vehicle's electrical system. Even though the instructions show how to do it completely, we still recommend professional installation. "
"Some people like them because they are cool and some like them because of how easy it is to get in and out of your vehicle. I've even had some customers get them because they didn't want to spend $75k on a hip replacement just so they can get in and out of their truck."
