6 in Black Aluminum Running Boards for 2019-2025 Ram 1500 Crew Cab

In this review the reviewer tested the YITAMOTOR running boards designed specifically for the 2019-2025 Dodge Ram 1500 Crew Cab (exclude 1500 Classic) and found them to be a practical, no-fuss upgrade for owners who want easier access and a factory-like look. The biggest reason to buy is simple: these running boards bolt on to existing factory mounts with no drilling and provide a sturdy, non-slip 6 in step surface that is useful for passengers, children and loading gear.

Key Features

• Vehicle fit: Engineered to fit 2019-2025 Ram 1500 Crew Cab models and will not fit Ram 1500 Classic variants, eliminating guesswork when ordering.
• Easy installation: Bolts to factory mounts using the included hardware and detailed instructions so installation can be completed in under an hour without drilling.
• Step pad: The 6 in non-slip injection step pad provides a secure surface for stepping in and out and supports repeated use up to the stated capacity.
• Construction: One-piece top grade anti-corrosion aluminum body with pre-treated black powder coating for long-term resistance to rust and a factory appearance.
• Load capacity: Designed to handle heavy use with a claimed capacity suitable for boarding and even stepping down from the cab.
• Complete kit: Ships with two running boards, six mounting brackets, relevant hardware and installation instructions so everything needed is in the box.

Who It's For

This product is for Ram 1500 owners with the Crew Cab new body style from model years 2019 through 2025 who want a durable, OEM-look side step that installs quickly and keeps passengers from slipping when entering or exiting the truck. It suits buyers who prefer metal running boards with a solid non-slip pad rather than lightweight plastic steps.

It is not for owners of the Ram 1500 Classic or other cab styles; those shoppers should look for running boards specifically listed for their model. Also, buyers who expect a painted finish to stay flawless in all conditions should note some customer reports about paint durability and consider regular touch-up and care.
