Running Boards

Go Rhino running boards, built around a wider step

A running board is the widest step you can bolt to a truck. Instead of a tube with a pad at each door, you get a continuous platform running most of the cab length, so your foot lands square anywhere along it. That matters most with kids, with passengers who are not used to climbing into a lifted truck, and any time your hands are full.

Every running board in this collection is a Go Rhino O.E. Xtreme II. It uses a 6 inch stepping surface, the widest in the Go Rhino step range, with anti skid pads and a powder coated steel build. Go Rhino backs it with a Limited Lifetime Warranty and 5 years on the finish.

If you want the same coverage in a leaner tube profile, look at nerf bars instead. If you want the step to disappear when the doors close, look at electric running boards.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a running board and a nerf bar?
A running board is a wide flat platform that runs most of the cab length, so your foot lands anywhere along it. A nerf bar is a tube, usually 3 to 6 inches around, mounted tighter to the rocker with a textured pad at each door. Boards are easier to step on, especially for kids and passengers. Nerf bars look leaner, weigh less, and keep more ground clearance.
How wide is the stepping surface?
The Go Rhino O.E. Xtreme II uses a 6 inch stepping surface, the widest in the Go Rhino step range. For comparison, their nerf bars run 4 or 5 inches depending on the line.
Do running boards require drilling?
Not on listed applications. Each kit ships with vehicle specific brackets that bolt to existing holes in the rocker panel or frame. Plan on about an hour with hand tools, and a second person helps since a cab length board is awkward to hold level.
Will running boards fit my truck?
Kits are cut for one specific application, and cab configuration changes the part number. Send your year, make, model, and cab and we will confirm the exact part number before you order.
