Owens Running Boards

Your pickup truck or SUV is a capable vehicle for engaging in work and leisure activities. Owens running boards are designed and manufactured to make your vehicle even easier and more comfortable to use. Such units will help you and your passengers enter and exit it with much greater ease. As a company, Owens traces its history back to 1965, when it offered on the market the first Classic fifth wheel hitch and recreational trailer. In 1977, they invented aluminum running boards, which made it easier for 5th wheel owners to unlock their trailer’s hitch mounted in the pickup truck’s bed.

At present, the company prides itself on offering over a dozen running board series, manufactured from a variety of high-quality materials including diamond tread aluminum, stainless steel, molded ABS plastic, and more. The GlaStep lineup is made out of top-grade fiberglass pleated in dense layers and finished in gelcoat. These boards are sculpted into shapes that complement your vehicle’s unique contours. Their extra-wide step treading provides a non-slip surface so as to ensure all-season safety even in rains and snows. Such products come with steel-reinforced plating for greater strength. Custom brackets ease the installation.

The company’s Factory boards are molded from Thermoplastic Polyolefin, which is the same material widely used by automotive manufacturers. They provide OE-style designs and looks, while being reasonably-priced and durable enough to stand up to the elements and high temperatures. Such products come with special UV protection and do not need to be painted. A built-in grip allows for omitting step treading. They install easily with special brackets without the need for drilling in the majority of cases. Owens Premier Custom running boards are produced using UV-resistant Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene Thermoplastic Polymer featuring a smooth finish. They are ready to be painted to any color you’d like, however, you can use them right out of the box if you prefer a black finish. They come with wide stepping areas and non-slip surfacing, ensuring year-long security. The components feature steel reinforcements so as to gain added durability.
