2022–2023 Dodge RAM 1500 TRX Fixed Running Boards Side Step Set
The 2022 RAM 1500 TRX running boards in a fixed configuration give TRX owners a simple, durable step solution that works every time without the complexity of a power retractable system. The TRX sits significantly higher than a standard RAM 1500, and daily cab access on a truck that height is noticeably easier with a solid fixed step than without one. Whether you are replacing damaged factory boards, adding side steps to a TRX that did not come equipped, or simply wanting a cleaner step solution for a truck you drive regularly, a correct-fit fixed running board set is one of the most practical additions you can make to this truck. At McClain Auto Part, we source and supply running board sets for the 2022 and 2023 RAM 1500 TRX from verified inventory at our Cleveland, Ohio warehouse. Every set goes through a hands-on inspection before it ships.
2023 RAM TRX side steps in a fixed design appeal to owners who want something straightforward and reliable. Retractable power steps are a popular factory option on the TRX, but they add complexity, they require wiring, and they are one more system that can develop issues over the life of the truck. A fixed running board has no motor, no wiring, and no moving parts. It mounts to the rocker panel area, stays in position, and does the one job it needs to do every time a door opens. For a truck that sees regular use both on and off pavement, that simplicity has real practical value.
These fixed running boards for RAM TRX are built to fit the 2022 and 2023 TRX crew cab platform. Fitment on the TRX is not the same as a standard RAM 1500, and we confirm that before every order ships.

Fixed Running Boards Versus Retractable Steps on the TRX
The TRX came from the factory with optional power retractable steps on many configurations. Those systems work well when they are functioning correctly, but they are a known maintenance item over time. The motor assembly, the wiring harness connections, and the step mechanism itself all require occasional attention on trucks with significant mileage.
A fixed RAM TRX side board eliminates all of that. The step is in position when you need it and stays out of the way when you do not. There are no sensors to fail, no wiring connections to develop corrosion, and no motor to replace. For daily drivers, fleet-used TRX trucks, and owners who simply prefer a lower-maintenance solution, fixed boards are a practical and honest choice.
Fitment Quality and Mounting
The mounting setup on this TRX side step kit uses a bracket configuration designed for the TRX rocker panel and cab geometry. The TRX uses a wider stance and a different rocker profile than the standard RAM 1500, which means running boards sized and mounted for a standard half-ton do not position correctly on a TRX. We confirm the mounting configuration against your specific truck before every order ships.
Daily Usability
A well-positioned fixed step at the correct height makes a meaningful difference on a truck as tall as the TRX. Passengers who are not accustomed to the height, work crews getting in and out throughout the day, and owners who simply want a cleaner entry and exit all benefit from a solid, correctly positioned step. Furthermore, the fixed board provides a stable platform for loading gear into the bed from the side when the rear area is occupied.
Additional TRX Accessories
McClain Auto Part stocks additional TRX-specific accessories and step options depending on current inventory. If you are looking for a different step style or additional TRX exterior components, call us and we advise on what is currently available.
Fitment and Compatibility
2022 and 2023 RAM 1500 TRX
This running board set fits the 2022 RAM 1500 TRX and 2023 RAM 1500 TRX crew cab platform. The TRX is only available in crew cab configuration, which simplifies the cab-style fitment question. However, confirm your production year before ordering, as mounting specifications can vary between model years and equipment configurations.
TRX Versus Standard RAM 1500 Fitment
The RAM 1500 TRX running boards in this listing are configured for the TRX platform specifically. The TRX uses different rocker panel geometry and a wider stance than the standard RAM 1500. As a result, these boards will not fit a standard RAM 1500 application, and standard RAM 1500 running boards will not position correctly on a TRX without modification. Confirm your truck is a TRX before ordering.
Installation and Mounting Considerations
Installation on the 2022–2023 TRX uses the factory mounting point locations along the rocker panel. Confirm your mounting point condition before installation, particularly on trucks that have seen significant off-road use where rocker panel contact damage is possible. Call us with any questions about mounting before the order ships.
Confirming Fitment Before Ordering
Call us with your VIN before ordering. Your VIN confirms the TRX platform, production year, and crew cab configuration in one step. Given the platform-specific nature of TRX running board fitment, VIN confirmation before ordering is the most reliable way to avoid any fitment issues after the set arrives.
Shipping and Support
Every running board set ships with protective wrapping on both 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 in oversized packaging or on a secured freight pallet where required. 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.
If you have fitment questions before ordering, call us. We confirm your application, discuss mounting considerations, and advise on the specific set in current inventory before you commit.
