Westin R5 step bars installed on a truck

Westin's R5 nerf bars make the trip from your vehicle's door to the ground a smooth transition. The bars' straight-style design and squared edges offer a rugged look, and the 5" width provides greater stability than narrower round bars.


Concealed mounting bracket cover on a Westin R5 step bar

Injection-molded covers conceal the mounting brackets used to install the step bars for a seamless, from-the-factory appearance.


5-Inch step pads on Westin R5 step bar

Oversize step pads allow you and your passengers to safely step out of your vehicle. The grooves in the UV-resistant, injection-molded polymer pads provide traction and direct water away from the surface of the bars to help prevent slipping.


No need to worry about rust on these nerf bars. Not only are they constructed of durable, rustproof black powder coated aluminum, but the black molded plastic endcaps also keep out moisture to help prevent internal corrosion.


Installing the bars is easy. A mounting kit is included, featuring custom brackets that bolt onto existing holes in your vehicle's rocker panels - no drilling necessary.

Nice product. They look great and were easy to install.

Everything you would hope they would be. One year later, look great, solid fit and sturdy.



by:

The rails came in with no damage and fit perfectly



by:

One of the best online shopping experiences I've ever had! Natalie was very helpful getting it ordered, step boards were delivered in 2 days and were exactly what I wanted. Can't wait to shop etrailer again



by:

These came very quickly. They were easy to install. They look good and appear well built. I see no areas of concern and expect years of use without troubles.



by:

The fit is great and install was fairly simple. We had seen Westin running boards on a truck while out shopping and we thought they looked great. We did a quick search online and placed our order. We’re very happy with our choice!



by:

Chose them because it looked like they were a little lower step than others and that is the case. Love the lower step height and it does not affect vehicle clearance (Ram 1500). Very nice looking solidly built nerf bars.



by:

Looks great, solid construction, and easy install.



by:

Overall happy with these. Very easy to install, sturdy, and happy I chose aluminum. Only knock I have is after one year the paint on the steel mounting brackets is not holding up. Will need to repaint these.



by:

Great product, made truck look better, very functional. Highly recommend to any Colorado owner.



by:

Super easy to install. The aluminum was a little thinner than what I was expecting and they hang a little lower that what I was hoping. They look great on the truck, super easy to install and seem to be pretty sturdy. So far worth 5he money.



by:

Fit perfectly, and great experience.



by:

Arrived on time,easy install,looks great thx etrailer.



by:

The running boards are just what I wanted. The issues that I had are that The installation instructions did not say that they would fit 2023 GMC, but they did. I was also missing one nut for the install that I had to purchase else ware. They are good boards, the company just needs to improve quality control.



by:

Quality material and construction. The assembly is nicely engineered. While the cost is substantially more than an “Amazoner,” if you want quality and plan to keep your truck, I think the quality and ease of install makes this a good choice. Definitely my recommendation.

  • Recommended Running Boards for a 2023 Ford Explorer
    Hey Rocha! The best running boards for your 2023 Ford Explorer are going to be the Westin R5 Nerf Bars item # W68NR in Black or item # W48NR in Stainless. These 5" custom fit running boards come with included hardware that does not require drilling to install. The curved pads are formed to the tubing to prevent damage to the ends of the bars. The groves also provide better traction. I have linked an installation video below along with the instructions so you can see how to get these step...

  • Nerf Bar Recommendation to Fit a 2022 Ford Explorer
    While we do have a variety of nerf bars/running boards that fit your 2022 Ford Explorer, currently (January 2022) Westin doesn't have a fit listed for the Sure Grip boards and your vehicle. Out of the linked selection we have a few options that might interest you. If you want to stick with Westin then I recommend checking out the R5 Nerf Bars # W68NR because they have more of a square look like the Sure-Grip running boards. If you aren't dead-set on Westin though then you might consider...
