Tyger Auto 3.5 in Rider Running Boards for 2015-2026 Chevy Colorado

Our review of the Tyger Auto 3.5 in Rider Running Boards finds them best suited for owners of the 2015-2026 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon Crew Cab who want a sturdy, easy to fit side step that improves access and appearance. The single biggest reason to buy is the wider 3.5 in oval tube step pad with a textured non-slip surface, which delivers noticeably better foot placement and confidence when entering or exiting the truck. Installation is straightforward and the seamless textured finish promises long-term resistance to rust and grime.

Key Features

• Fitment: Designed specifically for 2015-2026 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon Crew Cab models, ensuring a snug, vehicle-specific fit for compatible trucks.
• Oval tube design: The 3.5 in wide step pad offers a larger, non-slip surface that improves stability when getting in and out of the cab.
• Seamless construction: Full-body E-coating and heavy textured powder finish keep dirt and water away and add corrosion protection for longer life.
• Easy installation: Includes both sides, all brackets and hardware for a bolt-on mount with no drilling required and an approximate 20 minute installation time.
• Load capacity: Built to support up to 500 lb, so two people or heavy loads are supported during use.
• Warranty: Backed by a no-hassle 5 year warranty for U.S. customers against manufacturing defects, providing extra peace of mind.

Who It's For

The Tyger Auto running boards are ideal for Crew Cab owners who value a broad, non-slip stepping surface and want a clean, rugged look without modifying the rocker panels. They suit daily drivers, families, and anyone who frequently transports passengers or needs easier access to a truck bed. The included hardware and bolt-on design also make them a good match for owners who prefer a simple DIY install.

These steps are not intended for extended off-road rock crawling where extreme clearance and specialized mounts are required; buyers needing custom ground clearance or those with non-Crew Cab models should look for a different fitment. Always confirm fitment for your specific model year and cab configuration before purchasing.
