Running Board Fit

[Hilltopper46]

I have a 2026 Ram 1500 crew cab. If I look at running boards in Amazon, most only go up to 2025 for fitment and I get a warning that it will not fit my vehicle. Can someone assure me that yes, the mounting for the 2026 is the same as the 2025 or no, I need to get some specifically for the 2026?

My wife is getting anxious about getting in and out of the cab as we like the truck well enough that we take it on lots of our errands. And, it's already been on one road trip of ~350 miles one way.

Thanks in advance.

Have you looked into Mopar's running boards? If you look them up on the Mopar site, it might tell you if they work for both model years. If it does, you can associate that comparison to aftermarket boards. Same in the other direction too. If the same part number isn't available for both, safe to assume they're model year specific.

Just not an easy question to answer. I know there were big changes from '24 to '25. Not sure from '25 to '26.

Hey! I’m a new vendor on the forum, and we’re currently offering running board for sale. However, we haven’t tested them yet on the 2026 model year trucks.
If you’re interested in our design, I’d be happy to share installation videos and detailed product specs so you can assess whether they’ll fit your specific vehicle. I am happy to help.

Just to follow up on this, the running board/step that I was most interested in finally updated their listing and I ordered and installed them. This is the "YZONA Running Boards Compatible with 2019-2026 Dodge Ram 1500 Crew Cab New Body Side Steps, Bolt-on Nerf Bar Step Bars, Heavy-Duty Steel Two Stairs Design..." from Amazon.

Here's pics of them on my truck. My wife and I are both heavy and the boards seem to be standing up well to our weight. It's early days as of yet but I thought for the price if they lasted only a few years they could be replaced.
