Nerf Bars & Running Boards

 Why use nerf bars or running boards on your vehicle?

The Difference Between Nerf Bars vs. Running Boards

Running boards and nerf bars both make it easier to get in and out of your truck or SUV. The key difference between these two truck steps is that running boards provide a wide, flat step while nerf bars are round or oval in shape with diameters starting at 3 inches.

Running boards typically run the length of the vehicle’s cabin. Their flat, rectangular shape allows them to be mounted closer to the truck for better protection and ground clearance. In addition, they provide a stepping surface along their entire length of the board. This feature is great when loading items on the roof.

Nerf bars and side bars are typically round. These accessories can extend the length of the truck cab or just the length of the door. Step areas on the bar have traction pads, unlike running boards, which have a stepping surface along their entire length. Nerf bars and side bars stick out a little further and lower than running boards, which makes them easier to use but more susceptible to damage when off-roading.
