Running Boards Buying Guide
Larger vehicles are great for hauling a lot of cargo or for bigger families, but it can be challenging to climb inside without side assist steps. Reaching inside to unbuckle small children, adding items to a roof rack, or even helping your pet into the seat becomes nearly impossible, especially if you weren’t blessed with above average height. WeatherTech Running Boards are the perfect solution to give you a leg up. Let’s take a closer look.
Why Materials Matter
The lower portions of your vehicle take the most damage from kicked up rocks, road salt and other road hazards. You want to make sure that the running boards you add to your truck are made from a material that won’t rust or require drilling into the metal body, which can make it susceptible to corrosion. WeatherTech Running Boards feature an aluminum base and powder-coated steel mounting brackets, which means they will not rust or break down over time. The tread is textured and made from a rubber-like material to provide a no-slip grip. Plus, curved edges allow water to drain away. They are made to install into existing factory mounting points, so no drilling is needed. Supporting up to 350 lbs., these high-quality, American-made steps are built to last.
Continuous Coverage Provides an Easier Reach
Some running boards on the market only cover the space directly under each door, leaving a gap in between. This can make it easy to slip or twist an ankle when trying to move between them. WeatherTech Running Boards are custom fit to each vehicle’s year, make and model for seamless coverage down the entire side of the truck. Each step is six inches wide, making it safe to move down the length of the vehicle with secure footing to reach the roof or wash the windows.
Additional Benefits
With coverage that extends down the length of the rocker panel, these Running Boards provide added protection from paint chips caused by road debris, gravel and rocks. Use them in combination with No-Drill MudFlaps for maximum defense. Running Boards also give your vehicle an instant visual upgrade by breaking up the gap between the ground and the doors for a sporty, OEM-plus look.
Why Choose WeatherTech Running Boards?
Make climbing into your oversized vehicle a little simpler with American-made Running Boards that are designed to last the lifetime of your truck. Made from high-quality, rust-proof aluminum with a non-skid tread, these steps are ideal for helping children, pets, older adults and smaller people easily access the interior cabin.
