Question:
Do you install what you sell. Own 2025 Ford Explorer. Seeking running boards.
asked by: Darold G
Expert Reply:
We sure do Darold. To add a set of sleek running boards to your 2025 Ford Explorer, I recommend the Westin item # W64ZX. These 6" wide black aluminum running boards have a non-slip rubber pad that runs the entire length of the boards.
The Westin Sure-Grip Running Boards item # W64ZX includes a custom installation kit that does not require drilling. The bottom of the running board sits 7-1/2" above the ground so you won't have to worry about hitting them on anything during your daily drive.
I've linked an installation video below we made on a 2025 Explorer and attached a couple of pictures so you can see what the Westin item # W64ZX look like once they're setup.
Are you looking to have the running boards installed or were you just wanting to see if we are familiar with the products we sell?

Darold, because of my age, I was unable to install it myself. I took it to the dealership where I bought my car and they installed it for me. Because I had Ford points from purchasing my vehicle it didn’t cost me anything to have them install it. It only took them an hour and the running boards look great. They are very functional helping my wife and me get into the car. If you want quality, great appearance, and functionality then you should get these. I love mine!
