PZ 6ft Running Boards Compatible with 2017-2024 Ford F250 F350

Our review of the PZ 6' running boards finds them to be a practical, no-frills upgrade for owners of 2017-2024 Ford F250 and F350 Super Duty crew cabs who need sturdy, reliable side steps. The biggest reason to buy is the combination of heavy-duty carbon steel construction and a two-step layout that makes getting in and out of a tall truck easier while also giving a raised platform to reach the roof. Installation is bolt-on with included hardware, so the boards suit owners who want a durable, functional accessory without complex modification.

Key Features

• Vehicle fitment: Compatible specifically with 2017-2024 Ford F250 and F350 Super Duty Crew Cab models, ensuring correct length and mounting points for 4 full-size doors.
• Two-stair layout: The raised middle step helps access roof cargo while the lower drop-down step offers safer entry and exit for passengers.
• Heavy-duty construction: Built from carbon steel with a triangular three-tube structure that increases load-bearing capacity and long-term durability.
• Rust protection: Triple-layer defense including surface anti-rust treatment, internal electrophoretic coating, and textured black powder finish to resist corrosion.

• Bolt-on installation: Arrives with brackets, hardware and instructions for a no-drill installation that most owners can complete with basic tools.

Who It's For

This product is aimed at truck owners of the Ford Super Duty crew cab body style who want a robust, factory-looking side step that handles heavy use and occasional roof access. Drivers who carry roof loads or frequently have passengers boarding will appreciate the two-step arrangement and strong load capacity.
