Back before 1950 or so, when cars and pickup trucks had those big, sweeping fenders outside the body, running boards were part of all of them. As late as the early 1960's, certain models of pick-up trucks had rear "pontoon-style" fenders outside the bed and a short running board between the fender and the back of the cab. Running boards were handy things to have - you could sit on them, carry a little extra cargo on them, and - most importantly - get in and out of the vehicle a little easier.

Like those old vehicles, the Ford Explorer is a fairly tall vehicle. Unfortunately, running boards have all but disappeared from today's cars.

The good news is, you don't have to have outside fenders to have running boards. Ford Explorer Running Boards are available as an after market accessory, and install easily your vehicle sides. They're great for helping small children, shorter folks and people who elderly or disabled in getting in and out of the car.
