Popular Styles of Truck Side Steps

Truck steps are available in several styles for various applications. Some of the most popular include: 

Rocker-Mount

One of the most common styles of truck steps is the conventional rocker-panel-mounted hoop step. These individual drop hoops mount to one of the strongest locations on your vehicle’s body—the rocker panels—for maximum strength and stability. These steps are used to ease access into the cab and may require some modifications for installation.

Commercial-Grade

RealTruck also carries commercial-grade steps engineered for use on commercial platforms and service bodies. These heavy-duty steps feature mounts specifically designed to bolt to the flat undersides of flat beds or service bodies, making them ideal for use on work trucks and service vehicles. Featuring heavy-duty constructions and function-first designs, commercial-grade steps are guaranteed to work as hard as you and your truck. 

Flat-Mount

Flat-mount steps are another popular variety, featuring a vertical mounting plate that bolts to vertical flat surfaces, like service bodies, oversized rear bumpers, and more. These steps feature heavy-duty constructions and deep, non-slip treads to grip even the dirtiest work boots or slipperiest shoes.
