Yes, they are AMP and it does seem they are used by many manufacturers. I’m 160lbs and they work for me, but I have friends who are double that and they flex significantly for them. Even without the flex, the wavy sheet metal with no grip is pretty weak. It wouldn’t take much to add some grip and a little bit of sturdiness. Compared to the overall finish and polish on the rest of the 19 Limited, they are severely out of place.
I'm a svelte 200 and change and don't have any issues with them. This is the first truck I've owned with retractable steps, and to be honest I've used them as a step more in the month I've owned the 2019 than I ever did the tubular ones on my 2011.
When I first saw them I was also worried about traction, but I haven't found that to be an issue at all.
