6.5in Running Boards for 2015-2025 Ford F-150 & Super Duty - Two-Step

In this review the 6.5in Two-Stair Drop Step Nerf Bars are evaluated as a practical upgrade for owners of 2015-2025 Ford F-150 and 2017-2024 Super Duty SuperCrew Cab trucks who want a rugged, usable side step. The single biggest reason to buy is the dual-step design: a lower step for everyday entry and a higher step for roof access, all built on a sturdy triple-tube frame that claims a high load capacity. The reviewer focuses on fit, installation, durability, and on-vehicle stability in real-world conditions to judge overall value.

Key Features

• Precise Fitment: Designed for 2015-2025 Ford F-150 and 2017-2024 F250-F550 Super Duty SuperCrew Cab models for bolt-on compatibility and minimal adjustments.
• Two-Step Utility: Dual stepping positions provide a lower step for easy entry and a higher step to reach the roof without awkward climbing.
• Solid Construction: Triple-tube structure with 1.8in thick tubes gives the bars rigidity and contributes to the claimed high weight support during use.
• Non-slip Surface: The 6.5in wide stepping area is nonslip, helping maintain footing in wet or muddy conditions for safer entry and exit.
• Corrosion Resistant Finish: Carbon steel construction treated with phosphating, electrophoretic coating, and powder coating improves long-term resistance to rust and trail debris.
• Simple Installation: OEM-style mounting with included hardware and instructions allows bolt-on installation without cutting or drilling.

Who It's For

These running boards suit owners of full-size Ford SuperCrew trucks who need a durable, functional side step for daily driving and light off-road use. People who access roof racks, carry kids or pets, or frequently step in and out of a lifted truck will appreciate the higher roof step combined with a lower entry step.

Those who drive single-cab trucks, own non-SuperCrew cab models, or need a lightweight aluminum running board for weight-sensitive applications should look elsewhere, since these are heavy carbon steel bars intended primarily for strength and protection rather than minimal weight.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Dual-step design increases versatility for both entry and roof access.
• Robust triple-tube, 1.8in tube construction improves perceived stability and durability.
• Complete coatings and powder finish offer strong resistance to corrosion over time.
• OEM-style bolt-on installation with supplied hardware avoids drilling or cutting.

Cons

• Carbon steel construction adds noticeable weight compared with aluminum alternatives, which may matter for some users.
• The higher step works well but could be awkward on very steep driveways or uneven ground surfaces.
