Running boards are becoming more of the norm these days than ever before. Most trucks on the market are either OEM equipment with your standard running boards or they have added the aftermarket versions later on during their rig ownership. Running boards are more or less a must have accessory in today’s truck market, no matter what you use the truck for. Originally, we thought many of the truck steps where the same.. however, Bestop has what they are calling the “smartest running board on the planet.” When we found out about this, we had to take a closer look.
Now, thanks to Bestop’s latest video, you can get to know the “smartest running board on the planet”. Their video starts out by showing you their Power Board NX and highlighting the fact that it comes equipped with the latest in wifi technology. This helps to minimize the time and effort needed for installation.
Through the use of unique wifi controllers, the Power Board NX eliminated the complicated and time consuming need to tap into the door or dashboard wiring harnesses. The Power Board NX uses wireless sensors that align with magnetic modules placed in the door jams to sense when the door is opening and closing.
The Power Board NX has all the upgraded qualities you have come to expect from Bestop. 600lb capacity on each side of the vehicle, OEM quality and sealed motors, weatherproof connectors and LED lighting. They, also, feature the diecast aluminum linkages along with anti-pinch technology to give you the solid support you are expecting and deserving.
