Rough Country ESR050205 HT-Series power running boards give Ram 1500 owners a retractable step that drops for easier cab access and tucks back tight against the rocker panel for a clean look. Built for 2009-2018 Ram 1500 2WD and 4WD applications and later Ram 1500 Classic trucks where verified, this kit pairs a wide anti-slip aluminum step with LED courtesy lighting, quiet motor operation, obstruction sensing, and a 660 lb per-side capacity for daily use, work trucks, and trail-driven pickups.

Rough Country ESR050205 Features:

• Automatic retractable design deploys when needed for easier entry and exit, then stores close to the rocker panel to help maintain a low-profile, factory-style appearance.
• Wide 6 in. anti-slip aluminum stepping surface gives boots and shoes a stable landing area in wet, muddy, or dusty conditions.
• Integrated LED courtesy lights illuminate the step area when the boards deploy, helping passengers see the stepping surface in low-light conditions.
• Redesigned high-torque motor system is built for increased pulling power while operating quietly during deployment and retraction.
• Automatic SAFE-STOP Technology halts board movement when an obstruction is detected, helping protect the boards and anything in their path.
• Intelligent Delay Deployment Technology helps prevent unintended movement for more controlled operation around the truck.
• Lightweight aluminum construction supports up to 660 lb per side while resisting the daily abuse of road grime, weather, and jobsite use.
• Tucked retracted position helps shield the rocker panel area from road debris, rocks, and trail hazards.

No-drill, bolt-on installation uses factory mounting points, making this a practical upgrade for owners who want powered side steps without cutting into the truck body. The 5-year limited lifetime replacement warranty covers structural and workmanship defects according to the supplied product context.
