What is a "running board"?
A running board is a flat, horizontal step attached to the side of a vehicle, typically near the doors. It provides a helpful surface for people to step on when getting in or out of the vehicle, especially in taller trucks and SUVs. Running boards are usually made of metal or plastic and are designed to be sturdy enough to support a person’s weight. They can also help protect the vehicle’s body from dirt and debris. Some running boards have a textured surface to provide extra grip, preventing slipping.
Examples
He installed a running board on his truck to make it easier for his kids to climb in.
