Key Features

• Non-slip step pad: The 6-in injection step pad provides a wide, textured surface that improves traction when entering or exiting the truck in wet or muddy conditions.
• Load capacity: Rated to handle up to 450 lb, the step pads and structure support heavier passengers and common loading tasks without noticeable flex.
• Durable finish: Constructed from stainless steel with a rust-resistant powder coat, the boards resist corrosion to maintain appearance and strength over time.
• One-piece design: The integrated one-piece bar gives consistent alignment and a factory appearance while reducing potential weak points compared with multi-piece systems.
