Of the tens of thousands of products showcased at the 2006 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, only four were selected by the DaimlerChrysler Group for excellence in design. On October 31st, AMP Research was awarded the DaimlerChrysler Design Excellence Award for their newly introduced BedStep™. The BedStep is a manually operated tailgate step that provides easy access to the truck bed from the rear bumper. When it is not in use, it stores conveniently underneath the bumper.

According to the Chrysler Group, the BedStep demonstrated the highest degree of overall quality and craftsmanship among all products introduced for current Chrysler vehicles. This design award was given specifically for its applicability to Dodge trucks. Ralph Gilles, Vice President – Jeep/Truck and Component Design, Chrysler Group, stated, “The winners of our Design Excellence Awards embody the passion, creativity and possibilities that are core Chrysler Group design values.”

The BedStep, was one of multiple AMP Research products featured on an Interstate themed Dodge Ram 3500 Mega Cab. This project vehicle, inspired by the massive big rigs that travel the interstate highways, clearly demonstrated the high ground clearance of today’s large trucks and the need for a tailgate step to access the bed from the rear bumper area.

Made of high strength aluminum, and attractively powder coated in black, the AMP Research BedStep supports up to 300 lbs. of weight, and is now being developed for a wide range of applications.
