Step Rail for Trucks Guide

If you drive a big truck like the GMC Sierra 1500, you probably love how tall it is and the great road visibility it offers. You may not, however, love how cumbersome it is to get inside. This is why if your current step rails aren’t cutting it, it’s time to look for a new step rail for trucks.

Why Should You Replace Your Step Rails?

While most trucks come with step rails, if you have an older model, you may not have them or they might not be able to do their job.

For example, the built-in surface that’s supposed to offer traction may have worn down. This means that whenever you step on it – especially in wet or icy conditions – you could be at risk of slipping.

Your Step Rail Options for Trucks

There are basically three types of step rails:

• Side Steps: These are typically a U- or share-shaped bracket bolted under a door. They can also be attached near the back to offer better access to the bed.
• Running board: Longer than side steps, running boards usually run the length of a truck’s cab.
• Nerf bars: These also generally extend for the length of the cab, and they provide protection against rocks and other road debris.
