Sidesteps for Mercedes ML

Sidesteps for the Mercedes ML

At Tuningonline, you’ll find running boards and side steps compatible with various generations of the Mercedes-Benz ML. The running boards are sold as a complete set for the left and right sides and are available in various materials, colors, and finishes.

Select the correct ML generation

Always check your vehicle’s model code, trim level, and model year before ordering:

• Mercedes ML W164 from 2005 through 2011
• Mercedes ML W166 from 2011 through 2015

Side steps for the W164 are not automatically compatible with the newer W166. Additionally, around the transition between the two generations, the model year and first registration date may differ. Therefore, always check the vehicle’s model code and the full product description.

Difference Between the Mercedes ML and GLE

In 2015, Mercedes-Benz changed the model name from ML to GLE. As a result, the W166 is available as both a Mercedes ML and a Mercedes GLE, depending on the model year.

However, a kit for an ML W166 is not automatically compatible with every GLE W166. Always check the listed model year, trim level, mounting points, and any facelift differences.

Complete sets for left and right

The running boards are supplied as a set of two: one for the left side and one for the right side. The product specifications indicate which mounting hardware is included and whether modifications to the vehicle are required. Professional installation is recommended.

Various versions

Depending on the model, the running boards are available in aluminum, black, or a combination of aluminum and plastic. Various versions feature anti-slip surfaces or rubber studs for extra grip.

Side Steps for Styling and Entry Assistance

Side steps give the Mercedes ML a more powerful and luxurious look. Depending on the product you choose, they can also provide support when getting in and out of the vehicle. Always check the weight capacity and product specifications for this purpose.

Which running boards fit my Mercedes ML?

The correct set is determined by the model code, year of manufacture, and trim level. First, check whether you have an ML W164 or W166. Do not base your choice solely on the initial registration date. If in doubt, please contact us before ordering.
