Ford Explorer 2020-2025 Side Steps: Twelve Centimeters That Make a World of Difference
Seven seats, a large cargo area, SUV ground clearance: the Explorer ticks all the boxes except easy access. These side steps install a solid step 12 cm wide under each door of the Ford Explorer from 2020 to 2025. Getting in and out immediately becomes easier, for children and second-row passengers alike.
A Black Horizontal Line That Sleeks the Explorer's Silhouette
The Explorer is tall and its sides are smooth: without anything underneath, the body seems to float. The matte black bar draws a continuous line between the wheel arches and gives the SUV the low-slung stance sought after in modified vehicles. The eye reads the length first, then the height—exactly the opposite of a stock Explorer.
This Ford side step also acts as a bodyguard: positioned along the lower bodywork, it takes the brunt of road spray and door impacts instead of the paint.
Twelve Centimeters Wide, 180 kg Load Capacity: The Numbers Behind These Steps
The kit combines high-quality aluminum for the structure and ABS plastic for the contact surface. The manufacturer states a load capacity of 400 lb, or 180 kg, and a useful width of 12 cm (4.7 inches)—enough to support the entire sole of the foot, not just the front.
The assembly weighs around 8 kg. Aluminum does not rust, which is crucial for a part constantly exposed to salt spray.- Side steps for Ford Explorer 2020-2025 — 2 step panels, left and right

What Installation on a Latest-Generation Explorer Requires
The package contains the 2 step panels, brackets, and hardware. Installing Explorer side steps is done with the vehicle raised: the brackets are positioned on the mounting points of the underbody, tightened without fully securing, the bar's alignment with the lower bodywork is adjusted, and then it is fully secured. The manufacturer recommends professional installation. The stated compatibility covers the Explorer from 2020 to 2025, to be confirmed according to your specific model.
Do Side Steps Hinder Door Opening or Maintenance?
No: a fixed step bar is mounted under the sill, clear of the doors' path. However, it makes accessing the roof rails significantly safer and serves as a stable foothold for cleaning the roof or securing a load. The only thing to remember: rinse it along with the rest of the lower bodywork after driving on salted roads.
Ford Explorer: Our Criteria Before Listing a Side Step
At Becquet Voiture, a kit only makes it into our catalog if the material, load capacity, and package contents are clearly defined. This is the bare minimum for an exterior accessory used several times a day. Our French-speaking team is available to confirm your Explorer model before purchase.
