Ford Truck Running Boards: F-150, Super Duty, Ranger and Factory Parts

A running board is a step mounted below a truck's doors that makes it easier to climb in and out. On a Ford, watch two words. The cab word decides the part, and Ford's own word for most of these parts is "step bars", so search both. Side steps and nerf bars land in the same place, because titles stack all those names. Step bars sorts out what the shape is.

Read November 2, 2026. Listing lines are title wording. Ford lines are product names from its catalog. ARIES lists the cab names, and says its table is only there to aid understanding.

No listing means none in our data, not that none exists. Check your exact year and cab on the listing before you buy.

Why it makes the list

• Part number (TG-RS6F60118) ties it to Tyger's instruction sheet
• Sheet uses plastic retainers to prevent corrosion between the aluminum body panel and steel brackets
• No drilling step in the sheet

Watch out for

• Not for the SuperCab per the title
• No weight rating in the title, so none is printed here
• The sheet says to clear paint or undercoating from the studs first

Best for: SuperCrew owners on the 2015-up F-150 who want a wide step and a clear install sheet.

Tyger's sheet for TG-RS6F60118 uses factory studs and has no drilling step. It adds plastic retainers it says are designed to prevent corrosion between the aluminum body panel and the steel brackets. We found no corrosion measurements, so that is the maker's stated reason and nothing more. No weight rating appears in the sheet, so we print none. The F-150 page has the rest of the install notes.

Only the Tyger Riser has a sheet behind it here. The others are listing data. Notice the cab words: the APS title separates F-150 SuperCrew from Super Duty Crew Cab, and the Tyger titles use "Supercrew Cab" for all of them. Super Duty SuperCab owners need their own check, and Westin gives those trucks a different part number from the Crew Cab.

Factory Ford parts

Ford's catalog is the one place in our reading where SuperCab and Regular Cab get full coverage. Four things stand out:

• Most entries are Genuine Ford Accessory. That is the brand filter on the F-150 page, alongside one RealTruck item.
• Finish can change the years. On the 2024 F-250 page, the black Super Duty SuperCab bars read 2017-2026 and the chromed ones 2017-2027. Read the exact name of the part you want.
• Beds appear on longer parts. Ford sells "F-150 SuperCrew 2021-2027 Extended Length Step Bars for 5.5 ft Bed" and a 6.5 ft version. Wheel-to-wheel running boards covers that logic.
• Ford has hoop steps too. Its Ranger page lists "Ranger 2019-2023 Off-Road Hoop Steps", with no cab in the name.

Ford's page for the Super Duty Crew Cab chromed bars says no drilling is required and names F-250 through F-600. We did not read warranty terms on any Ford accessory, and we found no independent test comparing them with aftermarket parts. OEM vs aftermarket running boards weighs that up.

On the truck's own warranty, Ford says an aftermarket product "will not necessarily void" the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, but repairs for a failure it causes are not covered. It also says it does not recommend changes to its products. Do running boards void your warranty goes further. None of this is legal advice.

Power steps for Ford trucks

Three listings, with three different stories. The AMP PowerStep^* title names the 2015-2020 F-150 and no cab. The RealTruck PowerStep^* title names the 2022-2027 F-250, F-350 and F-450. The WOLFBOX^* title names the 2021-2027 F-150 Supercrew and Lightning EV, plus F-250 through F-550. We read no maker sheet for any of the three, so treat all of it as seller wording.

Westin's Pro-e table is the most specific document we read. It lists the 2015-2027 F-150 SuperCab and SuperCrew, 2017-2027 F-250 and F-350 SuperCab and Crew, and the 2019-2026 Ranger SuperCrew, and states "300 lbs. of weight capacity per side". We have no Amazon listing for those Westin parts.

Ford's Super Duty page also names "Super Duty 2023-2027 Retractable Driver Side Step by RealTruck Advantage". Its product page says a foot press deploys it, and that it helps you reach into the bed, so it is a bed step, not a powered step for the cab.

Before you order

Get the cab name from your paperwork, then read the title for it. Our fit rule applies to every line above: if a source does not state it, we do not either. Other makes are under all trucks.
