NOT JUST LOOKING THE PART.
If you're actually scraping rocks on farm tracks or forestry roads, this is the version built for that, not the lighter standard side step.
HEAVY-GAUGE STEEL
Built for real off-road rock-strike impact, not just daily kerb dings.
FULL CAB-LENGTH COVERAGE
Protects the sills along the whole door run rather than just the step zone.
A GENUINE STEP
Rated for adult body weight, not a styling ledge you step over.
CHIP-RESISTANT FINISH
Black powder-coat that resists chipping where lighter coatings give up.
CHOOSE THE STEP THAT SUITS YOUR USE.
Both bolt straight on and both protect your sills. The difference is how hard you intend to work them.
RANGER HEAVY DUTY RUNNING BOARDS
Heavier-gauge steel than our standard Ranger running boards, built to take a genuine rock strike without bending, not just look the part.
RANGER RUNNING BOARDS
The everyday step. Easier entry and sill protection for daily driving, without paying for heavy-gauge steel you won't use.
BUILT FOR TRACKS, NOT JUST CAR PARKS.
If you're regularly on forestry roads, farm tracks or rutted trails, this is the version to run.
OFF-ROAD USE
Heavy-gauge steel takes the hit so your sills and rocker panels don't.
LOADED UTES
Holds up to constant stepping in and out with gear, boots and weight.
LIFTED UTES
Gives a solid, predictable step height once you've added suspension.
LONG-TERM FINISH
The heavier coating holds up to scrapes that would mark a lighter step.
FITTING IS STRAIGHTFORWARD.
These bolt on using the vehicle's existing mounting points, with all hardware supplied.
BOLT-ON FITMENT
Mounts using the vehicle's factory mounting points, no drilling required.
TWO-PERSON JOB
The rails are heavy and awkward to hold square on your own.
HARDWARE SUPPLIED
All brackets and mounting hardware needed for installation are included in the box.
CHECK YOUR TORQUE
Re-check the mounting bolts after the first few hundred kilometres, especially after off-road use.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Will this fit my Ford Ranger?
This is made for the Ford Ranger specifically, not a universal part trimmed to suit. It is listed to fit FORD RANGER PX1–PX3 2012–2021.
Model runs change part way through a year, so if your vehicle sits near the edge of that range, send us your rego or VIN and we will confirm the fitment before you order rather than after.
Will they actually take my weight?
Yes. These are the heavy-duty boards, built from heavy-gauge steel on full-length mounting brackets rather than a light alloy step on two arms. They are made to be stood on properly, not just looked at.
How do they mount?
They bolt to the factory mounting points under the sill, so there is no drilling and no cutting, and all the brackets and hardware come in the box.
Budget about an hour a side, and get someone to help you: it is a two-person job purely because of the weight.
If you would rather not do it yourself, our own team fits these in-house at our Avondale workshop. Tick the “Add professional installation” box when you add to cart, or call 021 541 306 to book a time.
How fast will it get to me?
Orders placed on a business day are usually picked and dispatched the same or the next business day from our own Auckland warehouse, and you get tracking by email as soon as it leaves us.
From the day it ships, North Island urban addresses are generally overnight and South Island urban is 2 to 3 business days. Rural addresses take a little longer. You can also choose pickup at checkout and collect from our Avondale store once we email to say it is ready.
What happens if it does not fit, or I change my mind?
You can return any unused, uninstalled item in its original packaging within 30 days of delivery for a refund or an exchange, and there is no restocking fee. Ordering the wrong part, or finding it does not suit your vehicle, is covered.
Email info@toughtrucks.nz or call 021 541 306 before you send anything back so we can confirm the return and give you the correct address. Once it is back with us and checked, refunds go through within 5 business days.
Still not sure it is the right part? Call 021 541 306 or email info@toughtrucks.nz with your rego and we will confirm fitment before you order.
