Okay, the quality is perfect, the ease of installation was so easy. I watched their install video and went to work, took me a couple of hours but the running boards have been so worth it.

Super easy to install, No drilling, only took about 2 hours. Highly recommend if you don't want to drill your pinch weld

Installation was easy and all parts fit perfectly. Could not have been easier. They look better than expected on my 2024 pro master van.

by: Carmon M 09/21/2021

Pretty disappointed in the shipment. I reached out to etrailer with pics and asked for help but not a word back. Clearly I got a return or something. The product looks rugged but it’s so scratched up that I’m sure it’ll rust super quickly. I would have expected better.

Thank you for the review and for bringing this to our attention. Our customer service team should be reaching out to you in the near future.

by: Sean 05/04/2025

Excellent customer service
They came much faster than I expected
Only 2 days or so , as free shipping usually is slow and 5 days or more .
Running board box and bracket box had multiple puncture and tears , running board box torn open apart at one end and pulled open at other end , and bracket box had 3 or four punctures and tears .
When I opened boxes today , I didn't see any obvious damage to running boards , and checked bracket box to make sure all 6 brackets and hardware bag was not torn open .
But I haven't taken brackets out of plastic yet to look for any damage .
I would say that shipping needs some improvement, not sure if additional packing can prevent the boxes being damaged , maybe ends of long running boards box can be taped to prevent ends from being ripped open .
They are heavy and getting handled roughly at the warehouse and by UPS or FedEx delivery drivers will cause this damage to cardboard boxes .
I'm not sure etraler has much control over this shipping process .
Overall
I am very satisfied with my first experience buying from trailer .
Happy I was able to speak to a real person on the phone before ordering, a friendly voice seemed happy to help me .

Out of town but I’m excited to install my new running boards. Thanks.

2024 Ram ProMaster 3500

Install wasn't too bad but the stupid nut plates used for some connections were a bit of a pain, first one dropped into the rocker panel and was difficult to fish back out, e-trailer was not that helpful.

The product was ok, would prefer a nicer looking product but couldn't find anything I liked. Some of the mounting brackets were scraped up and will probably rust unless I do something. I had to modify the instructions since my gray tank plumbing was in the way of one of the mounting brackets.

Hey Joshua. I'm sorry to hear that we let you down. Dropping hardware anywhere you can't easily get your hand in is very frustrating. When you need to fish any sort of hardware out the best option would be to use a magnetic retrieval tool. Normally you can find them at a hardware store, I have been told of others making their own as well cause they had the bits to do so. The other less ideal option would be to drill a hole to let it just drop out. I personally don't recommend going that route but it's an option in worse cases. For any scratches I also recommend using any can of flat black.

Heck yeah! Those look great on there, Andy! Did your truck not come with running boards? Or did you not like the factory ones?

Step is sturdy … POC on Ram is not … added bracing to underside of cab to remedy. Is a nice step with a lot of leeway to adjust to exactly how you prefer. However I recommend manufacturer provide the additional support bracing as the step will appear to shift with weight applied.

Got the running boards on look great and they are solid as hell, jump on them and no flex what so ever. Installed on 2019 Ford F-250 Crew Cab.

2022 ford F-250 Super Duty

These arrived about an hour before sundown and it was pretty easy to get them on while I had light. Took me a second to realize there was different steps in the directions for two different models but once I pulled my head out it was simple and everything fit perfectly on my Ford F-250. They don't bow or bend and I'm 220 lbs. The finish and texture are perfect for the job they will be doing. There are fancier running boards but these are perfect if your truck is a work truck like mine. Highly recommend.

2020 Ford Transit T250

Nice running boards and pretty straight forward installing. The issue I have with them is they were advertised a no drill custom mounting kit when in fact 12 3/8” holes were required to be drilled for the install. I purchased these believing I would not be drilling holes laying on my back under my van, this was not the case even though they were advertised no drill installation.

by: Terry 05/05/2026

2007 Toyota Tundra

Everything fit great and installation was easy. I'm 67 and the hardest part was getting up and down from the garage floor. Standing on the back end to the running board to reach into the box of my pickup was a bit questionable. It didn't feel like it was going to hold my weight. The rest of the running board between supports was adequate but could be more solid. As long as you're standing between the supports you shouldn't have an issue.

by: Brett 03/13/2026 One Year Later

After less than 6 months, all bolts loosened and/or fell off and needed to be replaced with lock nuts/bolts. This should be a stock item. All but 2 had to be replaced.

by: Stan 10/04/2026

Exactly what was wanted. You said they would fit and just bolt on, no drill or other, and they did. Like the way they look and like the way they feel. The step up feels secure! Pleased with the product. Thank you!

by: Zak 11/29/2022 One Year Later

2007 Toyota Tundra

Really happy with these steps. They are very easy to mount even for someone like me who always ends up working on things after the sun goes down. They have very good grip in any weather conditions I’ve been in but are still usable in bare feet as well. My only complaint is there is no adjustment to the height and on my particular truck there is a larger gap between the kick plate and cab than I would have in an ideal world. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for a solid side step that has a different look than the normal tube style on most trucks.

Do you have a question about this Nerf Bars - Running Board?

If Running Boards are Installed at the Jacking Points on Sprinter, How Would I Change a Tire?
Hello Tom, Great question. The Aries RidgeStep Running Boards w/ Custom Installation Kit # AA2055539 is designed for the Promaster 2500 and 3500 models, it is not listed to fit your 2021 Promaster 1500. The closest thing we have to the style you were looking at is the Romik Connect RPD-C Running Boards w/ Custom Install Kit - 6" Wide - Black - Aluminum # RMK68FR for the ProMaster 1500 with 136" wheelbase. I reached out to my contact at Romik to ask where they install, they also install...

Do Aries Running Boards Mount in Locations for Jacks on a 2018 Ram ProMaster 3500?
Hey David, thanks for reaching out and providing all of the information! I took a look at all of the running boards that fit your 2018 Ram ProMaster 3500, and they all look to mount in the same locations as the Aries RidgeStep Running Boards w/ Custom Installation Kit # AA2055539, so I definitely see your dilemma there. When I checked the online owner's manual for your ProMaster I only saw the locations you reference for placing the jacks so it unfortunately looks like if you install...

How Wide is a 2024 Ram ProMaster 2500 w/ the Aries RidgeStep Running Boards Installed?
Hey Kerry. I checked with Aries and their RidgeStep Running Boards w/ Custom Installation Kit item # AA2055539 will add 6" combined to the width of your 2024 Ram ProMaster 2500, so just short of 87" wide. The driver side sticks out significantly farther than the passenger side but they still won't extend farther than your rear view mirrors. Do you fold your mirrors in to park?

Can I Install the Aries RidgeStep Running Boards w/out Putting My 2023 ProMaster 2500 on a Lift?
Yes, you can so long as your small enough to get underneath your van. The mounting brackets for the Aries RidgeStep Running Boards item # AA2055539 go back pretty far, so you will need to get your arms back there with the ability to turn a socket. It's going to be a lot easier to get them installed if you can get the van up off the ground like you were changing a tire. You don't need a lift like you see in the instructions. The Aries item # AA2055539 are custom fit for the 2023 Ram ProMaster...

Availability of Aries Running Boards that Fit 2018 Ram ProMaster

Are There Running boards That Do Not Require Drilling For 2019 Ram ProMaster Van 136" Wheelbase
There is a solution for you, but it may require drilling. Unfortunately, it will not be a traditional running board that fits your 2019 Ram ProMaster 2500 with the 136" wheelbase. I recommend going with the hoop steps, something like the Carr Custom-Fit Side Step - Hoop II - Black Powder Coated Aluminum - 7" Step - Qty 1, part # CAR89MR. This will fit your vehicle. I have included a product description link below.

Will the Aries Running Boards # AA2055539 Fit the 136 Inch Wheelbase of My 2021 Ram ProMaster 2500?
I have a solution for you. I confirmed with Aries that the Aries RidgeStep Running Boards w/ Custom Installation Kit - 6-1/2" Wide # AA2055539 will only fit Ram ProMaster 2500s with a 159 inch wheelbase. With that being said, your best bet is the Carr Hide Away Step for Work Trucks - Side Mount - Grated Steel Platform # CARR501090. The Hide Away step installs under your sliding door in order to give you easy access to your cargo. As far as installation, the step comes fully assembled and...

What Aries RidgeStep Running Boards Fit My 2022 ProMaster 3500 with 159" Wheelbase?
I have the right part for you. While the # AAC3696 unfortunately does not fit your 2022 Ram ProMaster 3500 with the 159" wheelbase, we do have the set that does. That is the Aries RidgeStep Running Boards w/ Custom Installation Kit - 6-1/2" Wide - Powder Coated Steel # AA2055539. The # AA2055539 is designed to fit with the 159" wheelbase model and comes with all mounting hardware required for a custom, no-drill installation.

Recommended Cab-Length Steps for a 2021 Ram ProMaster 2500
Hey Gregory, thanks for reaching out! The Aries RidgeStep Running Boards w/ Custom Installation Kit # AA2055539 is only available with the short step for the driver's side and the long full-length step for the passenger's side. Since you're only needing steps for the front doors I recommend going with the Carr Custom-Fit Side Steps # CARR105771 for your 2021 Ram ProMaster 2500 instead. This kit gives you 7" wide steps for both sides of the front of your vehicle to help make it easier...

Recommended Running Boards for 2024 Ram ProMaster 2500
For your 2024 Ram ProMaster 2500 I recommend the Aries RidgeStep Running Boards w/ Custom Installation Kit # AA2055539. These have a 6-1/2" wide step with stamped steel tread for traction. They also have a textured black powder coat finish which gives it a non-slip surface. The RideStep has a bolt-on installation so no drilling is required.

Running Board or Steps Recommendation for 2015 Ram ProMaster 3500 Van
It looks like you are correct in your assessment; I also contacted the manufacturer they did confirm that mounting the Aries RidgeStep Running Boards # AA2055539 does use the hole that is used for jack placement on the 2015 Ram ProMaster 3500. You may want to consider using steps like the Carr Custom-Fit Side Steps - Hoop II # CARR105772 which mount to the frame of the vehicle, instead of using the jack holes. These steps do require some drilling, but that will be the case for any steps...

Does the Aries RidgeStep Running Board For a 2021 Ram ProMaster 2500
The Aries RidgeStep Running Boards w/ Custom Installation Kit - 6-1/2" Wide - Powder Coated Steel # AA2055539 are a confirmed fit on all models of the 2021 Ram ProMaster 2500, so the frames will be the same across all models. This means that you can install these Aries RidgeSteps on your 2500 with the high roof, and as long as the wheelchair conversion isn't mounted to the underside of the vehicle on the frame I don't see any reasons why these wouldn't work for you.

Runing Boards for a 2014 Ram ProMaster 2500
We do have running boards that fit your 2014 Ram ProMaster 2500 but Westin actually doesn't have anything that fits so this bracket kit won't be compatible. For running boards we instead of the Aries RidgeStep Running Boards # AA2055539 which come with custom brackets for your vehicle. The installation instructions have been linked for you to reference.
