Sprinter Van Side Steps

They're designed to make entry and exit easier across a wide range of users. The front step is sized larger (since it gets the most use), and the tread plate's upturned lip gives your foot something to catch onto, particularly helpful for anyone less steady on their feet. That said, Owl doesn't publish age-specific testing data, so if you have a specific mobility need, it's worth confirming step height and spacing for your van.

The steps are shaped to sit close to the van's body and taper toward the rear, helping the van clear tight terrain without the steps catching on rocks or logs. Owl doesn't publish an exact clearance number for the steps themselves, so if you're running technical trails regularly, it's worth checking that spec against your specific van and tire setup.

The steps are built pet-friendly by design. Owl minimized the gap between the step and the van body specifically to protect paws. Owl doesn't publish separate testing for children, so if that's a priority for your household, it's worth a quick call to confirm it's a good fit for your family's needs.

Yes. Beyond daily entry and exit, the steps are built to help you access your roof rack, cargo boxes, and rear storage, which is useful when loading bikes, surfboards, or recovery gear. It's one of the reasons Owl designs steps as part of a broader access system rather than a standalone part.

Owl doesn't publish a stepping load rating for the steps themselves. What is published is the mounting capacity of the laser-cut Sherpa hole pattern, rated to hold 20 pounds per side for gear like Rotopax, shovels, or traction boards. If you need a specific stepping load figure, it's worth confirming directly with Owl before ordering.
