Do you need help climbing in and out of your pickup? RealTruck® carries a wide selection of premium running boards to ease the process. We carry various styles and finishes to complement any ride, from mild to wild.
Running boards are an excellent addition to any pickup, especially lifted applications running oversized tires. As the ride height of your pickup increases, so does the height of your rockers—the primary step surface into your truck. Rather than physically leaping into the cab, why not equip your ride with running boards?
Running boards come in various form factors and configurations. Below are some of our top-selling styles.
Do you like the functionality of running boards but dislike their appearance and negative impacts on ground clearance? What if you could make them disappear when they aren't in use? Electric running boards, popularized by brands like AMP Research with its best-selling PowerStep™ line, are the solution. These running boards deploy from beneath your vehicle’s rocker panels when a door is opened and tuck back into place when not in use for a sleek appearance.
Why we love it:
The original power-retractable running boards
Conveniently retracts and deploys
Robust extruded aluminum construction
Heavy-duty single-motor design
Offers maximum ground clearance when retracted
Integrated LED courtesy lights
Most applications offer simple plug-and-play wiring
5-year limited warranty
Alternatively, conventional running boards feature fixed-position mounting brackets. They’re available in varying widths and finishes, ranging from narrow 3-in. steps to extra-wide 6-in. steps and above.
Most running boards feature robust alloy constructions, simple no-drill installations, non-slip step pads for easy entry into the cab, and cost-effective price points—far below comparable electric running boards.
Why we love it:
Slim, 5-in. step surface
Perforated design prevents the build-up of dirt, mud, etc.
Tapered design increases ground clearance
No drilling is required for installation
Limited lifetime structural warranty
Running boards also come in two different lengths—cab-length and wheel-to-wheel.
Cab-length running boards stretch only the length of the cab, whereas wheel-to-wheel running boards stretch past the cab along the bedside. Most wheel-to-wheel running boards also include steps at each bedside for convenient cargo access.
Why we love it:
Premium carbon steel construction
Durable 1.75-in .120-wall tubular frame
⅛-in. thick, stitch-welded, carbon steel step pad
Welded end-caps for maximum corrosion resistance
Extra-wide 7-in. step surface
Durable 2-stage textured black powder coat finish
Simple bolt-on design
Limited 5-year warranty
Why we love it:
Built from durable carbon steel
Sleek textured black powder coat finish
5-in. wide injection-molded step pads
Anti-slip R5 treading
Drilling is not required for installation
Limited 5-year warranty
Finally, running boards come in two primary mounting configurations—frame-mount and rocker-mount.
Frame-mount running boards offer more strength and durability than their rocker-mount counterparts, bolting directly to your vehicle’s thick steel frame for added support. Alternatively, rocker-mount running boards traditionally offer quicker installations, but the result isn’t as durable.
Why we love it:
Durable tubular steel construction
Extra-wide 6-in. step pad with raised hex pattern
Textured black powder coat finish
The dual-purpose design offers the benefits of a running board and sliders
Optional bolt-on 4-in. drop steps available
Frame Mount available on select applications
Simple bolt-on application with no drilling required
Limited lifetime structural | 5-year finish warranty
