The MKX's mid-size proportions make a powered running board a natural fit, giving a solid step up for passengers without altering the SUV's smooth side styling when the boards are stowed.
Cut to the MKX's own underbody dimensions, this board extends automatically the instant a door opens and folds back in once the door shuts, so the vehicle's side profile stays clean at rest. The step tread uses a textured, slip-resistant surface suited to wet or icy conditions.
Materials are selected for resistance to corrosion and general road wear, ensuring the finish holds up over years of regular use. The mounting hardware attaches to the MKX's factory points, so there's no cutting or drilling involved in the install.
Is the MKX board interchangeable with the Nautilus (its successor)? No, the two models have different underbody shapes, so each needs its own specific kit.
Does the kit include the wiring connection? Yes, it taps into the existing door-open signal already present in the vehicle.
How is the finish protected from rust? The housing and hardware use corrosion-resistant coatings suited for year-round use.
