We all know that when it comes to life on the road, durability and functionality really matter. Whether your van is set up for work, adventure or even family life, upgrading your van with side steps can make a huge difference. That’s where our new Summit Aluminium Running boards come in. They’re designed to be the perfect middle ground between simple factory steps and full on heavy duty nerf bars.

Today we want to explore a few of the reasons we think adding side steps is one of the best Ford Transit mods you can make for adventures on the road.

Firstly the durability. Especially in cold Canadian winters where road salt, snow and slush quickly wear down factory installed steps, durability isn’t just a bonus- it’s essential. Our Summit aluminium running boards are engineered to withstand the harshest elements, from icy roads to wet coastal conditions. Constructed from marine grade aluminium they won’t rust, crack or weaken over time like plastic or steel alternatives. As well as that, the textured powder-coated finish provides protection from corrosion while offering excellent grip underfoot, even when your boots are wet, muddy, or covered in snow. Our running boards are built to perform year after year in all conditions.

Another key benefit to the Summit running boards is their easy installation. They mount directly to the Transit chassis using existing holes. Installation is straightforward and can be done with just a few basic tools.

Finally, we like to think the Summit running boards elevate not only the performance of your Transit, but also its appearance. While nerf bars are sporty they are often bulky. Factory standard plastic trim wears quickly. Our running boards strike the perfect balance; sleek and low profile. The durable powder coated finish not only adds protection but also adds a rugged yet refined look.
