Sprinter running boards, engineered around the van.
Choose a wide one-piece Hexagon platform, an independent three-piece tubular system, or continuous wheelbase-specific coverage—each built for confident entry, practical body protection and life on the road.
The right access system depends on how you use your van.
All three systems use aluminum construction to deliver useful strength without unnecessary steel weight. The difference is in the stepping surface and coverage: a wide Hexagon landing pad, independently mounted tubular sections, or a continuous full-length board shaped for a specific wheelbase.
One-piece strength. Sure footing in every season.
The Hexagon Series is built around a one-piece aluminum extrusion for an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. Its broad 7.66-inch landing surface gives work boots and hiking footwear room to settle, while the external hexagonal anti-slip pattern provides sturdy grip in rain, snow and mud.
One-piece cast-aluminum mounting components keep the system simple and strong. The result is a well-considered running board that improves entry and exit while adding a useful barrier along the lower body.
- One-piece aluminum-extrusion main body
- 7.66 in (195 mm) wide anti-slip landing surface
- Driver/passenger sections: 33 × 7.66 × 5.75 in
- Sliding-door section: 61.5 × 7.66 × 5.75 in
- Approximately 400 lb rated stepping area
- Fits 2008+ 144, 170 and 170 EXT Sprinter vans, low or high roof; confirm configuration before ordering
Easy access with independently mounted sections.
The modular three-piece system places separate steps at the driver door, passenger door and sliding door. A 5.5-inch drop helps reduce the climb into a tall Sprinter, while the beefy 1.75-inch full-aluminum tubular construction provides a stable platform and rugged lower-body presence.
Independent sections simplify adjustment and service: one step can be installed or replaced without removing the rest of the system. Bendable mounting tabs help accommodate variations in factory undercoating.
- Three independent sections with dedicated mounting hardware
- 1.75 in heavy-duty aluminum tube
- 6.30 in wide footbed and approximately 5.5 in access drop
- Driver/passenger sections: 33.25 × 6.30 × 6.90 in
- Sliding-door section: 61.8 × 6.30 × 6.90 in
- Fits 2008+ 144, 170 and 170 EXT Sprinter vans, low or high roof; confirm configuration before ordering
Continuous coverage from front door to rear wheel.
The full-length system uses one continuous board per side for an uninterrupted stepping surface and cleaner side profile. It keeps the same access-focused 5.5-inch drop and 1.75-inch tubular aluminum construction, but replaces separate pieces with wheelbase-specific lengths.
Choose the 144-inch or 170-inch kit for a board designed around that Sprinter body length. Continuous coverage makes it easy to reposition your feet while loading gear and adds protection along more of the rocker area.
- One continuous board per side
- 1.75 in aluminum tube with a 6.30 in footbed
- 144 wheelbase board: 103.9 × 6.30 × 6.90 in
- 170 wheelbase board: 130.7 × 6.30 × 6.90 in
- Approximately 400 lb rated stepping area
- Wheelbase-specific fit for 2008+ 144 and 170 Sprinter vans; low- and high-roof body height does not change the board length
Three ways to improve Sprinter access.
| Feature | Hexagon Series | Three-piece tubular | Full-length tubular |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Wide all-weather landing surface and refined one-piece construction | Modular access at driver, passenger and sliding doors | Continuous side coverage and wheelbase-specific appearance |
| Main construction | One-piece aluminum extrusion with cast-aluminum mounting components | 1.75 in aluminum tube; independent sections | 1.75 in aluminum tube; continuous board per side |
| Footbed width | 7.66 in / 195 mm | 6.30 in / 160 mm | 6.30 in / 160 mm |
| Coverage | Driver, passenger and sliding-door landing areas | Three separately mounted landing areas | Cab door to rear wheel area |
| Wheelbases | 144, 170 and 170 EXT configurations | 144, 170 and 170 EXT configurations | Dedicated 144 and 170 kits |
| Roof height | Low and high roof | Low and high roof | Low and high roof |

Confirm the van before ordering.
Which Sprinter generations are supported?
These systems are intended for 2008+ Mercedes-Benz Sprinter NCV3 and VS30 vans. Confirm the live product listing for your exact model year, drivetrain, wheelbase and body configuration before ordering.
Do the running boards fit RWD, 4×4 and AWD vans?
The published product fitment includes rear-wheel-drive, 4×4 and AWD Sprinter applications. Aftermarket tanks, steps, armor, exhaust changes or other underbody accessories can affect clearance and should be checked first.
How are the boards installed?
The systems use vehicle-specific mounting hardware and require light drilling with basic hand tools. Published guidance estimates about two hours for a single installer, but actual time depends on experience, undercoating and other equipment already fitted to the van.
Will these protect the van body?
The boards create a useful physical barrier along the lower body and can help deflect routine road spray and incidental contact. They are access products, not certified rock sliders or structural crash protection.
Which system is easiest to service?
The three-piece tubular system has independently mounted sections, making it the simplest choice when you want to adjust or replace one door step without removing the other pieces.
Choose your Sprinter running-board system.
Compare all three aluminum designs, confirm your wheelbase and underbody clearance, then select the coverage that fits the way you travel.
Always verify current specifications, fitment, inventory and installation instructions on the individual product page before ordering.
