The GEN-Y GH-25003 running boards bolt directly to your 2017-2024 Ford F-150, F-250, or F-350 Crew Cab without drilling or cutting, adding a full 84-inch stepping platform that spans the length of both cab doors. The step surface is formed with a criss-cross anti-slip pattern that channels water, mud, and debris downward and away from underfoot, keeping the surface clear in all weather.
