Aries ActionTrac Motorized Running Boards - 79"
I bought them for my dad so he can get in and out easily. I like the on off switch because I don't use them unless he's riding with me.
We just received our running boards (motorized) today Just waiting on the mounting brackets and wiring harness, so we can put it all together and use them. The customer service in Etrailer is without a doubt the most helpful people we’ve ever felt with. I mean they go out of their way to help you. Not pushy, not trying to sell you something you don’t need or want. They listen to you , and reassure you of your purchase. Thank you to customer service Miriam

Love them. Only issue I have had with them is both side lights blink instead of being solid.
best looking running board! the ability to step on it to access roof rack is amazing and there is only one other competitor that does that. THIS IS NOT A ROCK SLIDE! But as a certified mall crawler this is great for the ladies and kids jumping in

Seems like an excellent product. Etrailer makes things so easy, great software, terrific customer service and reliable shipping.
The running boards arrived sooner than expected and customer service is great. The website could be better to see and understand what exactly you’re buying. Haven’t been able to install them yet, had to order extra parts. Downgrade one notch due to website.

Did not send enough 1/4" washer. Washer to hold boards to brackets had to grind flat to clear bracket(washers to big around). But all other parts worked good.
Excellent product overall. My 22 ram 3500 4 x 4 has an entrance height of 30 inches my wife is 4’9” and can’t get Into the truck without them. As you can see the steps drop immediately when you open the door and have it delayed after you shut the door excellent design. The only negatives are ran into on the steps, are the LED lights lenses fall off then they short out and stop working. I think this is a Supply problem that can be addressed from the vendor that supplies the LEDs my fix was a sealed the LED lenses to the LED body with clear silicone. this lasted for six months.. The second problem is you have to open the door to clean the bottom step. The first step is 9 inches from the ground. The second step is 18 inches from the ground and the cab entrance like I said is 30 inches Installation was not easy by myself, but I got it done wiring is straightforward. Take your time. Buy a tube of clear silicone for the lites and seal the lenses and wire inlets before installing and I think the lights will last a bit longer. This was my last purchase from etrailer because of a policy within the company they shipped me, returned steps and charge me for new price. Took a bit of back and forth to get what I paid for but the matter was resolved.. .

4.5* actually. Overall, I really like these. They are a good price and they look nice. Some of the brackets had to be bent a little bit to get them to line up correctly, but it wasn't bad. I've actually purchased these twice! I sold the first vehicle, but immediately bought these for the better optioned vehicle I traded up for. NOTE - DO NOT buy the door delete kit that can be added to this. It's a waste of money that overrides the basic automatic functionality on a daily basis. The basic kit includes an on/off switch already.
I finally got them installed and they are wonderful. My wife has arthritic knees and it was very difficult for her to get in the Jeep. With these Motorized Running Boards she can now get in effortlessly.

Several concerns with this step. First is the design: The concept of two steps is so you can use two steps. However, the position that these rails attach to the truck makes them near level to the truck floor board which makes this step near useless. The second (lower) step is undependable when deploying and the angle at which it deploys means you have to step past the first to get in or out of the truck. So weird. This creates an awkward angle when getting in and out of the truck. When installing you must ensure the magnets are lined up perfectly. Even the slightest misalignment causes the lower rail to malfunction. The advertisement says these are maintenance free. This is not sure, you must routinely use a graphite lubricant on them. One step literally fell apart and they had to send another. We soent hours on the phone with their support team trying to diagnose why the seconds deployed erratically. The LED lights were a huge problem and turned on and off at intermittent times, even when parked. Very distracting for the neighbors. The third set of lights finally seem to be functioning correctly. When all said and done, after all the issues, they seem to be working fine, but again, the angle on which they deploy are not functional. If I had it all to do over, I’d never buy a deployable running board. They’re just a electric maintenance mess.
I installed my new motorized running boards on a new 2021 ford f150 power boost (hybrid). I had the Amp steps on my last truck and they worked great for 10 years. When I upgraded to the new f150 I looked at AMP for new steps. They are not available for the hybrid. I found the Aries and I like the look and love the idea of not having to chop up my wiring harness in a brand new truck! I started the install with the wiring harness. It was a breeze everything fit and was easy to identify what it did and where it belonged. Then things went south quickly. The nuts and washers from the kit are HORRIBLE! I don't know where they are manufactured but it was on par with the worst off shore junk I have ever seen. The 3/8 washers are so oversized the nuts barely make contact with them. The nylon lock nuts are so tight I busted off one of the studs on the running board. I am not sure if it is a change for 2021 but Ford has M8-1.25 studs not 3/8 for mounting the boards. I ended up throwing all of the mounting hardware that came with the steps it the trash and using my own. The boards are top quality and solid as can be. The fit and finish is perfect. They look great on the truck. But all I can think of is why cheap out on the nuts and bolts! I like the boards. and am happy I bought them but It was a long instal due to horrible hardware.
