For a sleek, lightweight step into the modern crossover or SUV
For some, it is more than just a drive. It's about definition finding the rush that comes with your hands on the wheel and your foot on the gas and it starts by stepping into your vehicle with confidence. ARIES AeroTread™ running boards give new definition to your drive with their sleek design, full-length treads and flawless finish. They feature unencumbered aluminum construction and a custom contour to redefine your look and offer a solid step up.

Lightweight build
Made specifically for today's crossover and SUV, ARIES AeroTread™ running boards are marked for their aerodynamic look and lightweight build. They are constructed from an extruded aluminum base, making them strong and impervious to the elements. Each set of running boards has sleek, curved edges with tapered ends to seamlessly blend with the body of your vehicle.

Full-length tread
To give you the exact, customized look you want, AeroTread™ running boards come with one of two front-trim finish options: polished stainless steel or black carbide powder coat. They are also equipped with a 5" wide, hard plastic step pad that runs the entire length of the board, providing a non-skid surface no matter where you place your foot.

Universal track mounting system
Having a custom design not only allows for a better contour to the vehicle's body style, but it also makes installation quick and simple. AeroTread™ running boards use a track mounting system to mount onto vehicle-specific brackets. Preexisting holes in the vehicle's frame are used to eliminate drilling, speed up installation and ensure stable footing. The mounting brackets are made from steel and are coated in a powder coat finish for long-lasting dependability.

Whatever road you choose, define your drive with ARIES AeroTread™ running boards.

These worked well with the trim on our 2017 Ford Explorer. Mounted professionally and appear solid as a rock, no issues currently. My only complaint would be with the stepping area of the running boards themselves are plastic and not very grippy. However, this hasn't caused an issue so far.

I should have read all the reviews cause there was one that was critical. Because of the slip on the Grand Cherokee Limited X, there isn't much room on the running boards for you to use. It extends 5" out but 3-3.5" of that is being blocked by the slip so you can't really use the running boards. It fits; it looks great but lacks functionality.

Parts Labeled Incorrectly in Manual but Perfect Fit
Aries® - 5" AeroTread™ Running Boards
Ordered these for 2019 Acadia. We could figure out the brackets. After about 2 hours we decided to call customer service. Come to find out; the brackets were mislabeled in the installation booklet. In addition to that, the instructions were not clear. The rep directed us to the website that had the parts labeled correctly. After that, it was smooth sailing. My husband and I do not hold any mechanical skills. It took us about 4-5 hours due to the confusion with parts and instructions, but the running boards were a perfect fit. Would suggest for the instructions be revised for clarity. Gave four stars due to the mislabeled parts and unclear instructions.

I am satisfied with my running boards. The issue i have is with the installation. the web site said easy no drill installation. That is defiantly not true !!! For my ford explorer. I had to drill 6 very difficult holes. If i would have known this i would have got then installed.

I bought these about 2 years ago, I love the look, but a waste of money. If you're looking to help getting in and out easily because they are to close to the body(they need to be lower.)

Looks Great on Dodge Durango GT
Aries® - 5" AeroTread™ Running Boards
The details about these say that these do not fit Dodge Durango GT with the OE side skirting. So I removed on side skirt and put on running board. It looked horrible. So after trial fitting brackets and running board on the other side of the vehicle I determined that I could make them fit with the OE side skirting in place. On the passenger side I had to cut off two supports from the inside of the side skirt with a hack saw. There are many of them so missing two is not a problem. This was to clear where the brackets need to sit. Next the brackets a pressed up hard against the side skirting, so I used a rotozip to cut 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch notches in the side skirting to clear each bracket. Don't worry these don't show. On the passengers side there is a plastic housing running under the vehicle that protects a wire harness. I had to remove the mounting nuts from the plastic house to move it, so I could get the bolts in place for the brackets. The front passenger side bracket does not clear this housing, so I swapped it with the middle bracket from the driver's side. Also, I had a problem getting the rear brackets to fit. I found that if you swap the front and rear brackets all are happy. So, after figuring all of this out, making the adjustments, putting the side skirting back on the first side I have a very nice looking set of running boards.

Look Great but Not Wide Enough
Aries® 2061009 - 5" AeroTread™ Black Running Boards
The product looks great and seems like it will be functional. Loved that it was aluminum, light weight but sturdy. However, I own a limited x Jeep Grand Cherokee, it’s not wide enough with the body molding that’s on the limited x. My toes are all that fit on the step and therefore they aren’t super safe for getting out of the vehicle. I’d choose a different step if you have the limited x model.

These look amazing, are sturdy, and took about an hour to install. Way better than the stock running boards Toyota sells. Highly recommend.

I love my new running boards. I'm short so need all the help I can get. We did not install them so all I can tell you is that on a new Dodge Durango Citadel our dealer said it was "different". They did a great job. We're in our 60's so I'm glad we had the dealer put them on. Look great!
