All about Side Steps
There are two types of aftermarket products that are referred to as side steps. Nerf bars are sometimes referred to as tubular side steps. They are long steps that cover the whole side of the vehicle (door-to-door or wheel-to-wheel). There are individual side steps that are smaller and are designed for 1 feet to step onto it.
If by ‘steps’ you mean prolonged metal bars that run under the truck doors, you can say nerf bars or side tubes, truck steps or step bars, side steps or step rails, or running boards. If you are talking about small steps only 1 person can step at, they are just steps or side steps. If such step attaches to the hitch receiver, it’s called hitch step.
Truck bed side step is a small step that is mounted to the frame of the truck under the bed area. It features bolt-on installation, and the main function is to allow the truck owner access the bed area by stepping on it. Also, there are hitch mount bed side steps, that install using the hitch receiver.
