Construction & Design

Built from heavy-duty carbon steel, the APS A Series Running Boards are engineered to withstand the rigors of daily driving and off-road conditions. The robust steel construction provides exceptional strength and resistance to bending or damage. The matte black powder-coated finish not only delivers a sleek, modern look but also offers superior corrosion resistance, protecting the running boards from rust and environmental wear.

The slip-resistant step pads are thoughtfully designed with a textured surface and slotted openings to enhance grip while preventing the buildup of mud, snow, or debris. This design keeps your footing secure and your truck cleaner, even in challenging weather conditions.
