Aries ActionTrac Powered Running Boards

 

ARIES ActionTrac Powered Running Boards are designed for customers who want easier vehicle access with a premium powered step system and a rugged, modern appearance. These running boards use a patented step-within-a-step design that gives compatible trucks and Jeeps two usable step points instead of a single fixed board. The result is a cleaner way to improve entry, exit, and roof access while keeping the side of the vehicle looking sleek when the lower step is retracted.

The automatic power step deploys when the door opens, creating an 8 in. drop from the upper step and placing the lower step up to 15 in. below the doorsill depending on the application. This makes ActionTrac especially useful for lifted vehicles, larger trucks, taller Jeeps, and customers who want a more comfortable way to climb into the cab. When the door closes, the powered step retracts back into the housing for a clean, protected appearance.

The upper 4 in. step provides a convenient fixed stepping area for daily use, roof access, cargo loading, and reaching gear mounted above the vehicle. The lower 3 in. powered step adds extra accessibility when the door opens, helping passengers step in and out with more confidence. Together, the two-step layout gives customers a functional advantage over a traditional fixed running board or basic power step.

ARIES builds ActionTrac running boards from powder-coated 6061-T6 aluminum for a durable, lightweight, and non-corrosive structure. The carbide black powder-coated finish gives the boards a clean dark appearance that pairs well with factory trim, black wheels, bed covers, bumpers, lighting, racks, and other exterior accessories. The contoured housing also helps protect the retractable step, pivot points, and electronics from the elements while helping shield rocker panels from road debris and door dings.

The integrated control module is designed to support smooth and safe automated operation. It detects obstructions to help eliminate pinch hazards, and the powered step uses a short delay to avoid retracting too quickly after the door closes. Integrated LED lights activate when the step deploys, improving visibility around the stepping area in dark driveways, parking lots, garages, campsites, job sites, and low-light trail areas.

ActionTrac Powered Running Boards are built for vehicle-specific applications and use a no-splice wiring approach on confirmed applications. The system is designed to mount using pre-existing holes on most supported vehicles, helping reduce installation complexity while supporting a clean finished fit. These running boards are not a substitute for rocker bars, but they provide excellent powered step access with added side-profile style for compatible vehicles.

Whether customers are upgrading for lifted vehicle access, daily driving, family use, work trucks, trail weekends, overlanding, or easier roof cargo access, ARIES ActionTrac Powered Running Boards deliver automatic two-step convenience, integrated lighting, and a clean black powered running board design.
