6.5in Stainless Steel Silverado Running Boards for Crew Cab - 8

In this review of the 6.5in Silverado running boards, the bottom line is simple: these steps are best for owners of 2019-2025 Silverado and Sierra crew cab trucks who want a sturdy, low-maintenance upgrade that makes entering and exiting the cab safer. The tester found the high-polish stainless steel and anti-slip plastic tread gave a premium look and reliable footing, and the included eight mounting brackets made the installation straightforward for a typical DIY installer. Overall this is a practical, value-oriented choice for full-size crew cab trucks.

Key Features

• Fitment: Designed specifically for 2019-2025 Silverado and Sierra 1500 crew cab and 2020-2025 2500/3500 crew cabs, providing a tailored fit for the new body style.
• Material: High-polish stainless steel with anti-slip plastic steps offers better rust resistance and a cleaner appearance than plain steel steps.
• Step Width: The 6.5in wide steps deliver ample footroom so an entire foot can rest on the tread for safer boarding and exiting.
• Load Capacity: Built to support heavy use with a maximum load capacity around typical passenger needs, making it suitable for family and work use.
• Mounting System: Comes with eight mounting brackets, four per side, to ensure stability and long-term secure attachment.
• Adjustable Slider: Slider design allows the bottom bracket to adjust forward and backward for easier alignment during installation.

Who It's For

These running boards are ideal for owners of full-size crew cab Chevrolet Silverado or GMC Sierra trucks from the 2019-2025 model years (including Silverado 1500 LTD 2022) who want an economical, durable step with a polished stainless finish and serious foot space. Families with children or older passengers will appreciate the larger 6.5in tread and anti-slip surface for safer access.

Those who drive the 2019 Silverado 1500 LD, 2019 Sierra 1500 Limited, or 2019 Silverado/Sierra 2500HD and 3500HD should look elsewhere because this design only fits the new body style crew cabs stated in the fitment. Buyers wanting powered or illuminated running boards should also consider different models with electrical features.
