Sprinter Side Steps : Explorer - Owl Outdoors

Larger Tread Plate Design

Ease of getting in and out of your van is paramount. That's why we designed an optional oversized tread plate. Our tread plate adds an upturned lip and greater width right where you exit the van. This upturned lip catches and holds your shoe while entering and exiting. While this always adds confidence, it is essential in wet conditions. As a bonus, we even designed a boot cleaner to scrape off dirt, mud, and snow before entering the van.

Design

The shape of our side steps was carefully considered to offer the optimal blend of function and protection. We went big with the front step, as it is the most used. Then, the side steps taper back toward the rear of the van. This tapered design allows the van to navigate tight terrain more easily and not get hung up on rocks, logs, etc. Additionally, we extended the driver's side tube all the way down the van to help protect the rocker of the van.

Use Cases

Easy Van Entry & Exit for Daily Use
Step in and out of your van with confidence using durable side steps and hitch steps. Perfect for van life, daily driving, and frequent entry through side and rear doors. These are pet friendly steps for dogs and cats.

Off-Road & Overland-Ready Step Design
Designed for adventure vans, these steps maintain ground clearance and reduce trail contact. Ideal for off-road driving, overlanding, and navigating uneven terrain.

Safer Footing in All Conditions
Provides stable, non-slip stepping surfaces for wet, muddy, or snowy environments. Essential for van lifers, campers, and outdoor travelers in changing conditions.

Gear Access & Utility Around Your Van
Use steps to easily access roof racks, gear storage, and rear cargo. Perfect for loading bikes, surfboards, recovery gear, and camping equipment.

Modular Platform for Van Life Accessories
Built to support additional mounts and accessories like recovery boards, fuel containers, and gear attachments—ideal for fully customized van builds.

Key Features

Pet Friendly

The most important aspect of pets using side steps is the gap between the step and the van. We minimized the gap to keep paws safe.

Tread Plate

Our tread plate adds an upturned lip and greater width right where you exit the van. This upturned lip catches and holds your shoe while entering and exiting. While this add confidence all the time, it is especially important in wet conditions.
