What Replacement Nerf Bars Do You Recommend for My 2021 Ford Rangers Factory Boards?

Question:

I would like to replace the factory running board on our 2021 Ford Ranger SuperCrew with something that is a little lower to the ground to make entry easier and safer for my wife. the 2021 Ford Ranger - Westin PRO TRAXX Oval Nerf Bars - 4inch - Polished Stainless Steel were recommended to me by a relative and they look good to me, but I am open to other recommendations. Although I think the all black would look better, the visual contrast between the black tread and the bright bar might be helpful in low light. Can you give some ideas? Thanks in advance.

As far as aftermarket running boards for your 2021 Ford Ranger Supercrew cab, the Westin PRO TRAXX Oval Nerf Bars - 4" - Polished Stainless Steel # W75UR are a great option because it is constructed with raised tread that makes it easy for shoes to grip the surface. In addition, the PRO TRAXX involves a quick and easy bolt-on installation with all hardware included.

If you are looking for steps that a wider surface area that has the same contrast in black and silver, I recommend the DeeZee NXt Running Boards w Custom Installation Kit - 6" Wide - Aluminum - Black w Chrome Trim # DZ16322-16328. the NXt running boards have a slip-resistance 6-inch wide step area that provides ample room to acquire a sturdy foothold (compared to the 4-inch PRO TRAXX). Like the PRO TRAXX, the NXt has is made with rustproof materials and comes with all hardware included.
