2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 Running Board Recommendation

Published 02/14/2022

Question:

I have a 2019 Sprinter Van 170 wheel base Crew Cargo 4X4 turbo diesel and want to install running boards to help with access for my joint-challenged wife. I love the Aries Actiontrac electric running boards, but cannot ascertain if there is any way to custom mount them on my vehicle. Do you know of a solution? Thanks!

The only running board kit that has been custom-made for your 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 is the Aries RidgeStep Running Boards w/ Custom Installation Kit # AA86ZB. This doesn't have the fancy electric extend/retract feature but it gives you the step system you're looking for to help your wife out. I like the multiple holes in the boards that help provide extra grip.

You might be able to get the Actiontrac steps to fit but that would be a complete modification and you would want a shop that has this kind of experience to take a look at it and give you details on what would need to be done.
