2019-2024 5th Gen RAM 2500 3500 RUNNING BOARDS STEP SET FACTORY OEM Black Mopar

2019–2024 5th Gen RAM 2500 and RAM 3500 OEM Black Mopar Running Boards Step Set

Getting in and out of a heavy-duty RAM truck is a different proposition from a half-ton pickup. The 5th Gen RAM 2500 and RAM 3500 sit higher, the cab is larger, and daily entry and exit on a work truck that sees multiple people in and out throughout the day puts real demand on the running boards. The factory OEM Mopar running board set for the 2019 through 2024 RAM HD platform addresses that demand with a step that is sized, positioned, and finished specifically for these trucks. At McClain Auto Part, we source genuine Mopar running boards for RAM 2500 and RAM 3500 trucks from verified inventory at our Cleveland, Ohio warehouse. Every set goes through a hands-on inspection before it ships.

2019 RAM 2500 running board  from the factory are replaced for a consistent range of reasons. Road salt and winter use corrode the step surface and mounting brackets on trucks that work year-round in northern states. Physical damage from job site use, off-road contact, or a vehicle impact cracks the step surface or bends a mounting bracket beyond what straightening can fix cleanly. In addition, owners of lifted trucks sometimes find the factory step height insufficient for their new ride height and source a replacement set to pair with a drop bracket solution. Whatever the reason, an OEM Mopar set is the correct starting point for a clean, factory-correct installation.

These are genuine factory OEM RAM running boards in the original black finish, removed from verified 5th Gen RAM HD donor trucks. Consequently, the mounting geometry, the step surface finish, and the bracket configuration match the factory specification for the 2019 through 2024 production run directly.

Why OEM Mopar Running Boards Fit Better Than Generic Alternatives

The running board market for heavy-duty RAM trucks has no shortage of universal and semi-universal aftermarket options. However, universal side steps use generic bracket configurations that require drilling, slotting, or shimming to achieve correct positioning on a 5th Gen RAM HD cab. The result is frequently a step that sits slightly too far inward, too far forward, or at an angle that does not align with the door opening the way the factory step does.

Factory RAM running boards from Mopar use the specific mounting hole pattern and bracket geometry for the 2019 through 2024 RAM HD platform. The step positions exactly where Mopar engineered it to sit relative to the door sill and the rocker panel. Furthermore, the step surface width and the mounting height are calibrated for the HD cab dimensions, which are different from the RAM 1500 cab geometry that many universal boards are designed around.

Factory Black Finish and Daily Durability

The OEM black finish on these RAM HD running boards uses a textured non-slip step surface that holds up in the mud, ice, and wet conditions that HD truck owners deal with regularly. The black finish on the side-facing surfaces is a durable painted or coated treatment designed to resist the road debris exposure that running boards face on a working truck. Generic aftermarket boards frequently use thinner coatings that show wear and fading faster than the factory treatment.

OEM Versus Universal Step Bars

Universal nerf bars and tube steps are a practical choice for some applications. For a 5th Gen RAM HD truck where the factory mounting points are intact and the goal is a clean, factory-correct appearance with correct step positioning, the OEM Mopar set is the more practical choice. No modification needed. No drilling into the rocker. No bracket shimming. Furthermore, the overall appearance matches the factory profile of the truck in a way that a round tube step bar does not.

McClain Auto Part also stocks additional RAM side steps and aftermarket step bar options for RAM HD trucks depending on current inventory. If you are looking for something other than the OEM black set, call us and we advise on what is currently available.

Condition and Inspection Process

Every 5th Gen RAM running board set that ships from our Cleveland warehouse goes through a hands-on inspection before packaging. Running boards on heavy-duty trucks require specific inspection attention for both the step surface and the mounting hardware.

What We Check Before Every Set Ships

Step surface inspected for cracks, gouges, and significant surface wear

Non-slip surface texture inspected for condition and coverage

Mounting brackets inspected for bends, cracks, and rust penetration

Bracket mounting tabs inspected for integrity and correct geometry

Hardware and fasteners inspected where retained from donor vehicle

Side-facing finish inspected for rust bleed, peeling, and significant damage

Left and right sides compared as a matched set before packaging

Overall condition graded and documented before packaging

Surface condition and bracket condition are documented separately on both left and right units. You receive that documentation before the order is finalized.

Fitment and Compatibility

5th Gen RAM HD Compatibility

These OEM running boards cover the 2019 through 2024 5th Gen RAM 2500 and RAM 3500 production run. The 5th Gen platform introduced updated mounting geometry compared to the previous generation, so these boards are specific to the 2019 and later HD trucks and do not interchange with earlier production years.

RAM 2500 Fitment

The RAM 2500 crew cab configuration is the most common application for this running board set. Confirm your cab style before ordering, as crew cab and regular cab versions use different board lengths and bracket spacing.

RAM 3500 Fitment

The RAM 3500 shares the running board mounting architecture with the RAM 2500 across the 5th Gen platform. Therefore, this set fits both models. However, confirm whether your RAM 3500 is a single rear wheel or dual rear wheel configuration, as some DRW trucks have rocker panel differences that affect running board clearance on certain configurations.

Crew Cab Configuration

This set is confirmed for crew cab applications on the 5th Gen RAM HD platform. If your truck is a regular cab or a quad cab configuration, call us before ordering and we confirm whether this specific set is the correct length and bracket spacing for your application.

Confirming Fitment Before Ordering

Call us with your VIN before ordering. Your VIN confirms production year, cab configuration, and model in one step. This eliminates the most common fitment questions before they become an issue after the set ships.

Shipping Information

Every OEM Mopar running board set ships with individual protective wrapping on both the left and right boards before outer packaging. Mounting brackets receive additional padding to prevent contact damage during transit. Due to the length of the boards, most sets ship on a secured freight pallet or in oversized packaging rated for the dimensions. Most orders are processed and ready to ship within 1 to 3 business days after confirmation and payment. You receive a tracking number once the set leaves our facility. We ship to all 50 states from Cleveland, Ohio.
