Purpose-engineered brackets mount directly to factory chassis points—eliminates guesswork, drilling, or fabrication required with universal mounting kits. Chassis-mounted design provides superior strength compared to body-mounted alternatives—distributes load to structural chassis rails rather than thin body panels. Forward\/backward adjustment accommodates door positioning variations and personal preferences—ensures step positioned for comfortable entry\/exit. Inward\/outward adjustment enables fine-tuning step height and body clearance—optimizes ground clearance while maintaining accessible step height. Black powder coating matches side step finish providing cohesive appearance. Compatible with Ford Ranger PY (2022+) all variants including XL, XLS, XLT, Sport, Wildtrak, Raptor, and new Volkswagen Amarok NF (2023+) co-developed on shared platform.

Previous Ranger PX, PX2, PX3 (2011-2022) requires DT-SSTEP001 brackets. New PY Ranger completely redesigned with different chassis, body, dimensions—brackets not interchangeable between generations.

Despite different exterior styling, badges, interiors, both vehicles share identical chassis, wheelbase, track width, and mounting points. Single bracket design fits both vehicles—rare example of genuine platform sharing enabling cost savings for customers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Do these fit the Ranger Raptor variant?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eA: Yes, fits all Ranger PY dual cab variants including high-performance Raptor. Despite Raptor's wider track, modified suspension, different styling, chassis mounting points remain standard. Side steps mount to chassis before suspension—compatible regardless of wheel\/tire package or suspension specification. Note: Raptor's increased ground clearance means steps sit higher—still functional but greater step-down distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I transfer my old brackets from my PX3 Ranger to my new PY Ranger?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eA: No, PX\/PX2\/PX3 brackets (DT-SSTEP001) not compatible with PY Ranger (DT-SSTEP006). Completely different chassis mounting points, body dimensions, and platform architecture. Side steps (DT-SSTEPV01) can transfer to new vehicle but must purchase new DT-SSTEP006 bracket set.

Note: Final Amarok 2H W580X limited edition (2022) uses previous generation platform requiring DT-SSTEP005 brackets. Verify your Amarok generation—NF (2023+) has completely new styling, cabin, shared with Ranger PY.
