Ford Genuine OEM Car & Truck Running Boards & Step Bars

Ford OEM Running Boards for Easy Entry and Exit

If you want to set yourself up with an easy way to get in and out of the cab of your F-150, F-250, or F-350, the affordable running boards available on eBay might be just what you need. Check out these common customer questions to get an idea of what you should look out for as you make a purchasing decision.

Unlike running boards that were made by a third-party company, Ford OEM running boards are made by the same people who made your truck. Whether you have a Ford F-150, 250, or 350, these running boards are specifically designed to meet the needs of your exact model. Plus, if you happen to damage one of the running boards on your truck, OEM replacement options will match the undamaged board.

While there are dozens of different running board models in this category, they can all be sorted into one of three categories:

• Traditional running boards: These types of running boards leave a hardly noticeable gap between themselves and the side of your truck. They provide the best possible foothold, and they run the length of your cab.
• Nerf bars: These types of running boards were originally developed for race cars. In racing, "nerfing" is when you purposefully create a small collision between yourself and a competing car, and nerf bars were developed to protect race car bodies from damage. They consist of single bars with places to step onto.
• Side step bars: Some side step bars are attached to actual bars that run the length of your cab, but others consist of single stirrups that stick out from your cab. Side steps provide you with a small boost in or out of your cab, and some side steps fold in when they arent in use.

Youll need to take into consideration the fact that running boards for the Ford F-150 might not fit F-250 or F-350 trucks. Plus, youll need to determine whether your truck is a two-door, extended cab, or crew cab model before you make a final decision.
