What's The Difference Between the Standard & Xtreme AMP Research Power Steps for a 2018 Chevy Silverado?
Silverado Owner: I'm interested in some AMP Research steps. I was looking at here the standard model or the Xtreme. I just wanted to know what the difference was as far as material and the product in general, and then also is there a difference in the warranty between the two?
Shawn: Let's see here. What kind of truck is it going on?Silverado Owner: 2018 Silverado. Crew cab.
Shawn: So the Plug-N-Play and the Xtreme...Silverado Owner: Yeah. I would just do the standard installment not the Plug-N-Play. I want it hard wired.
Shawn: I'm looking here. So they give you a 5 year sixty thousand mile warranty, 3 year thirty six thousand mile warranty. Let me look at the Xtreme and see what they say.Silverado Owner: Okay. I thought it said 3 year but then I saw 5 years.
Shawn: 3 year warranty. Hold on. 5 year sixty thousand miles. All defects on the materials or workmanship on select AMP products properly installed per provided instructions except those listed under the 3 year warranty ... it's not really clear on which one it is.Silverado Owner: Right. Okay. I just got to decide then what's the difference between the Xtreme and the other. Is it a stronger motor is it a different material? You know, those types of things. It doesn't really go into detail on their website.
Shawn: The Xtreme ... let's see here. I know its heavier duty.Silverado Owner: Okay. As far as the mounting, it mounts the same way? Not like the LX where it has that rocker panel cover?
Shawn: Correct.Silverado Owner: Okay. So it mounts like the standard one?
Shawn: Right. I should know this off the top of my head. I do apologize.Silverado Owner: That's okay. Not a problem.
Shawn: Dual motor option. And then yeah, its just heavier duty. The ends are heavier duty, the track itself has more grip to it, the step itself.Silverado Owner: That's probably the better way to go then.
Shawn: Yeah. I would say. All weather functioning, hard working constructions for superb traction. Let me see if my supplier has them. I don't know if you're ready or not but let me see if they have them just so you know and I know ... and they would be on back order of course.Silverado Owner: Yeah. Why don't we get those ordered up. Can you send me an email so I can check out when I get home?
Shawn: Absolutely.Installation and Shipping Information on the AMP Research PowerStep Plug and Play for a 2016 Silverado, 3500 HD
