Running board/step compatability

Will 2020 steps fit on our trucks? Found some 2020 take offs.

I’m guessing the mounting brackets are significantly different. Anything can be fabricated if you have the capability.

There are 2 different sets for sale on marketplace. One says 2017-2020 so I guess those are the same? Curious if anyone has tried. I guess I'll look at my mounting brackets.

Best thing you can do is find a set of the same year you are looking at buying and compare the mounting locations to your cab. You should be able to get a rough measurement from the front of the new boards to the first mounting bracket and check that against your truck.

Another option is go to a dealer lot with a tape measure and cell phone for pictures and measurements to compare to your truck.

I installed a set if Iron Cross wheel to wheel bars that I got for a steel of a deal. I use them a lot and would not be without them now. Let us know what you find out sir and good luck to you.

They will not fit at all. The bracket is significantly different. I looked at putting a pair from a ‘19 on my ‘01. They’re not close. They changed after ‘16.

Yep. Up through 2016 you're good because Ford had the wherewithal to use the same cab floorpan layout from 1999. You don't go bankrupt when you leave stuff alone and don't change it every model year.
