Mounted step about halfway on front edge of seat. Entering truck, my foot placement is towards the back of the step. Exiting the truck, my foot placement misses the step. I would move the step further back (front edge of step with front edge of seat) if I was to install another set. Mounting hardware does not sit perfectly against frame due to rivets, bolts, and other structural members of the truck. Final location is somewhat dictated by these obstacles. Used supplied and extra shims to fill in gaps between frame and mounting brackets. Final install was solid and product is well made.

Nice and solid, wife is thrilled that her knees will survive. Install is much easier with a set of transfer punches and a small C-clamp. Have someone stand on it while tightening the bolts. Very happy with them.

Looks great on there, Gary! These kinds of steps seem like they are starting to get more popular and the black blocky/angular ones are helping, I think. Plus they are easier to install than full running boards! Helping to get in is also nice. : ) I mentioned to my mom that I was thinking about taking the running boards off my Silverado because I'm 6'5" and don't really need or use them, and I got the death glare. She may be 5'5", but she is also half Russian so she can stare down a bear. I decided it was safer for my wellbeing to keep them on. : P Do you use you truck for towing? If so, what do you tow?

i wish all the fasteners were stainless steel, but the steps were solid and sturdy, and they fit a 2026 chevy silverado 2500hd just fine.

i went thru a bunch of HSS drill bits going thru the pinch welds and eventually wound up drilling in stages: 1/8", 3/16" and finishing with a good stepped drill bit to get to 5/16" for the larger bolts. took me a lot longer than 30 min per step as i was crawling under the truck without a lift or mechanics creep.

Jus' finished the install. The actual step itself seems super quality excited about that. The self tap screws were too weak for the truck steel no matter what approaches were tried so that final step I have to order better screws for this situation. I personally do not like gold... minor detail would be nice if the hardware was black to blend better. Ended up paintin' everything so it blends. Maybe it's a newby speakin' but as a 130lb female it was not easy drillin' through the metal. Upgradin' the drill bits. Everything else seems quality just I could see where someone buys this and thinks it's an easy install. It's work. I would suggest better install videos couldn't find anything online to really guide only videos that the steps should be purchased. Thankfully I have an experienced mechanic in my life I could lean on. We shall see how they last.

One year in, no degradation. It still holds my 250 pounds like I just put it on.

The quality of these steps are great however to say they “fit” the Mercedes Sprinter is quite deceiving. When installed as per the instructions, you have only 5” of ground clearance remaining. My fear is that the first irregular driveway will rip them off as they are so low to the ground.

I like! Longer and flatter than hoops, easier to use and good traction with muddy or wet boots. Would buy again.

I received the step(s) in good condition and they appear to be strong. However, I do have issues with the installation drawing. I cannot make heads or tails from it. I've looked at other drawings for this item that fit other vehicles and the drawings are spot on. The drawing for my model, (2005 Freightliner Sprinter) is really bad.

These steps work perfectly on my 2015 GMC 3500. The only negative is when I emailed etrailer with some installation questions they did not respond. I figured it out via uTube.

I ordered the side steps at approximately 8:00 PM on Tuesday, December 22 and they were delivered to my house at approximately 11:00 AM on Thursday morning, December 24. The box was carefully packed with steps, bolts, brackets and an instruction sheet. I am converting the steps to mount on a 2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon so I do have some additional design work to do. Extremely satisfied with the company, their pricing, and with their efficiency.
by:
I have really like the larger step to be able to use getting in & out of the truck. It has a nice wide and good surface area to feel comfortable and secure placing my foot. The only negative is that it hangs low. If ground clearance is not a thing for you, than this is a great product.

Do you have a question about this Nerf Bars - Running Board?
  • What is the Drop of the Carr Step?
    Hi Bob, the drop on the Carr steps part # CARR118221 step is 5 inches, meaning the step sits 5 inches below the mounting point. They make it so much easier to get in the truck. I also really like these steps because the XP3 black powder coat resists chipping, peeling, and fading, and the lightly textured matte black finish gives them a really clean look. Are you thinking about putting the steps on your Ford F-250?

  • Nerf Bars / Side Steps For A 2020 Ford Expedition Max
    Hi Nick! I do have a step option, but the Westin Sure-Grip Running Boards - 6" Wide - Black Aluminum # 27-6125 stopped being offered for a Ford Expedition in 2014. Unfortunately, they have not come out with a fit for nerf bars since that model year. It also looks like this is the case with all the nerf bar manufacturers we carry. I checked with all of them, and no dice. I know it isn't what you were looking for, but would you consider loop style steps? The Carr LD Custom Fit Side Steps...

  • Will the Bully Black Bull Side Steps # BBS-1103 Fit My 2017 Ford F-250?
    I have an alternative that will work great for your truck. Unfortunately, the Bully Black Bull Side Steps - Aluminum - Matte Black # BBS-1103 will not fit your 2017 Ford F-250 (all cab types). However, for a similar style and finish, I recommend the Carr LD Custom Fit Side Steps - Black Powder Coated Aluminum - 14" Step # CARR118221. It comes with XP3 black powder coat finish that resists chipping, peeling, and fading. As far as weight capacity, it is rated at 500 pounds. If you are looking...

  • Lower Side Steps that Fit 2021 Ford F-250 for Ease of Getting In and Out
    We don't have any side steps that can attach to the bottom of a current running board but if you took off your boards you could install the Carr LD Side Steps part # CARR118221 which will hang quite a bit lower to make getting in and out of the truck much easier.

  • Solution for Matte Black Steps for 2020 Ford F-250 Super Duty
    At this time, Pilot Automotive has no plans to make Bully Black Bull Adjustable Side Steps that fit the 2020 Ford F-250.

  • Can Bestop TrekStep be Mounted Under 2022 Ford F-250 Super Duty Door
    If you modify where and how the Bestop TrekStep # B7541815 is mounted then I imagine you can get it closer to the rear passenger door on your 2022 Ford F-250 Super Duty as opposed to further back for access to the truck bed but the modification is something you'll need to look into on your end since this is a custom-fit application. My recommendation is to install a step that is designed for what you're wanting to do. We have the Carr Hoop Steps # CARR108221, # CARR128221, or # CARR118221...
