OEM GM Running Boards

What Are GM OEM Running Boards and Why Choose Genuine Parts?

At Malouf Parts Xperts, we understand that every component in your vehicle contributes to both your comfort and safety on the road. GM OEM running boards provide secure footing when entering or exiting your GMC truck or SUV while maintaining the factory appearance your vehicle was designed with. These flat, narrow platforms mount directly beneath your doors and offer reliable support for passengers of all ages. When you choose genuine GM parts, you get components engineered specifically for your vehicle's exact specifications and mounting points.

Which GMC Vehicles Benefit from Running Boards?

Running boards work exceptionally well on GMC trucks like the Sierra, Canyon, and larger SUVs including the Yukon and Acadia. Higher ground clearance vehicles benefit most from these accessories since they reduce the step-up height significantly. Many GMC owners also appreciate how running boards complement other Exterior Accessories while providing practical functionality. The clean lines of OEM running boards maintain your vehicle's original styling without appearing aftermarket.

Installation Process for GM Running Boards

Most GM OEM running boards feature bolt-on installation that requires basic hand tools and typically takes less than two hours to complete. The mounting brackets align with existing factory holes, which means no drilling or permanent modifications to your vehicle. Each kit includes detailed instructions and all necessary hardware for proper installation. Professional installation remains available if you prefer having your running boards installed by certified technicians.

Weight Capacity and Durability Standards

Genuine GM running boards undergo extensive testing to meet factory durability standards and typically support 200-300 pounds safely. The materials used include corrosion-resistant steel or aluminum construction with textured stepping surfaces that provide traction in wet conditions. These components integrate seamlessly with your vehicle's existing Weather Stripping and door seals to prevent water intrusion.
