COMNOVA 6.5 in Side Steps Running Boards for 2019-2026

In this review the COMNOVA 6.5 in side steps are evaluated as a practical, no-nonsense upgrade for owners of 2019-2026 Chevy Silverado and Sierra crew cabs. The single biggest reason to consider these running boards is their combination of corrosion-resistant stainless steel construction and wide 6.5 in non-slip honeycomb pads, which together deliver a sturdy, OEM-like step surface that makes entering and exiting the truck easier for children and older passengers. Installation is straightforward and the slider brackets give some adjustability for fit and appearance.

Key Features

• Fitment: Designed specifically for 2019-2026 Silverado and Sierra 1500 crew cab and 2020-2026 2500HD/3500HD crew cab with four full size doors, providing a direct-fit styling and mounting pattern for compatible trucks.
• Material: Built from high light stainless steel with anti-slip plastic steps so the boards resist salt spray corrosion and avoid discoloration from UV exposure.
• Step Surface: Honeycomb non-slip pads and a 6.5 in wide platform give secure footing and enough surface area to support children and elderly passengers comfortably.
• Innovative Design: Patent-backed slider design lets the running boards be adjusted forward and backward for better alignment with vehicle body lines and personal preference.
• Installation: Non-welded, bolt-on kit includes left and right running boards, brackets, hardware and instructions for a straightforward install without drilling.
• Durability: Customers report the boards feel sturdy and can support significant weight, indicating solid build quality for everyday use.

Who It's For

These running boards are best suited for owners of crew cab Silverado and Sierra models within the listed years who want a durable, wide step with a near-OEM appearance and easy bolt-on installation. The extra width and non-slip pads make them a good choice for families and anyone who needs a dependable, secure step for frequent entry and exit.

Those who own a double cab with 3/4 size rear door or a 2019 Silverado 1500 LD or Sierra 1500 Limited should look elsewhere, since fitment excludes those variants. Buyers seeking illuminated steps or a completely custom appearance may also prefer a different style.
