running boards

SUV entry platforms

Running boards are narrow platforms mounted along the sides of a vehicle, below the doors, providing a step for easier entry and exit.

Standard on early automobiles when car bodies sat high off the ground, they largely disappeared as vehicles became lower and more streamlined.

They remain common on trucks, SUVs, and vintage cars: He wiped his boots on the running board before climbing in.
