The RX5 Max sits a size class above the standard RX5, and its taller stance means the step down from the door is a bit further for shorter passengers. This kit is proportioned specifically for the RX5 Max's larger body.
Because the RX5 Max is larger than the standard RX5, its running board kit is built with reinforced mounting brackets to comfortably support the added step height and passenger loads that come with a bigger vehicle. The board extends automatically on door-open and retracts flush once the door is shut, keeping the RX5 Max's larger footprint looking tidy when parked.
The step surface uses a textured, slip-resistant finish suited to wet or muddy conditions, and the housing is sealed against dust and moisture for long-term reliability. Mounting follows the RX5 Max's own underbody points, so there's no cutting or drilling involved.
Is the RX5 Max board the same size as the standard RX5's? No, it's sized and reinforced specifically for the Max's larger body and higher step.
How is it powered? It draws from the vehicle's existing electrical system and activates automatically with the door.
Does it add noticeable weight to the vehicle? The kit is lightweight relative to the vehicle's overall mass and has no meaningful effect on handling or fuel economy.
