Rover Vans Side Steps for Ford Transit
Upgrade your Ford Transit with Rover Vans Side Steps, engineered for secure footing, everyday convenience, and years of real-world use. Built from TIG-welded aluminum with metal mounting brackets, these steps provide a strong, lightweight solution for easier entry and exit without adding unnecessary weight to your van.
Designed specifically for adventure vans, Rover Side Steps combine practical access with the durability and finish quality expected from Rover Gear.
Built for Real-World Use
Whether you’re climbing in after a day on the trail, loading gear, helping passengers get in and out, or traveling with pets, a good step should feel solid every time you use it.
Rover Side Steps are designed with a wide, practical stepping surface that makes entering and exiting your Transit easier and more comfortable. Their low-profile design integrates cleanly with the van while maintaining compatibility with common adventure-van equipment.
They’re also pet-friendly, making it easier for dogs to get in and out of taller Transit vans.
Premium Aluminum Construction
Unlike many side steps that rely heavily on steel construction, Rover Side Steps use TIG-welded aluminum paired with metal mounting brackets to deliver strength and durability while keeping overall weight down.
The system is engineered for adventure-van use and designed to work alongside other common underbody and exterior accessories, including:
- Side ladders
- Underside water tanks
- Common Ford Transit adventure-van configurations
Rover also uses carefully selected automotive-grade, OEM-quality hardware and mounting components with protective anti-corrosion coatings for strength, reliability, and long-term durability.
Built to Look Good for Years
Side steps are constantly exposed to some of the harshest conditions on your van—road spray, snow, salt, mud, rocks, moisture, and constant foot traffic.
That’s why Rover Side Steps feature a durable two-stage black powder-coated finish engineered for long-term outdoor use.
Rover exterior products are backed by an industry-leading 10-year no-fade finish warranty, giving you confidence that your steps are built to maintain their appearance instead of quickly fading, corroding, or looking worn after only a few seasons.
Industry-Leading Warranty
We build Rover Gear for the long haul, and we stand behind it.
Rover Side Steps are backed by:
- 5-Year Product Warranty
- 10-Year No-Fade Finish Warranty
Because something you step on every day should be built for more than a few seasons of use.

Designed by Van People, for Van People
Rover products are designed around how adventure vans are actually used.
From muddy boots and snow-covered roads to dogs jumping in after a trail run, side steps take abuse every day. That’s why we focus on lightweight materials, strong mounting, corrosion-resistant components, and finishes engineered for long-term exposure.
Better materials. Better hardware. Better protection. Built the Rover way.

I’m happy to give a shout out to VanLife Outfitters. These folks are an incredible example of how a company should conduct business. Although I’m building a truck camper, I have bought several things from VanLife outfitters and their customer service is bar none . I would never hesitate recommending VanLife outfitters to anyone whether they are building a van camper or boat. And I might add even a tiny home. Everyone that I’ve talked to have been nothing but incredible. In particular, Jason in technical support was an incredible blessing to me. I had a problem with the Aqua Hot Gen 1 heater I bought from them. It was not the heater fault, but something I did. Jason helped bird-dog the solution and together we got it fixed. He stuck with me, did research, and called me back several times to make sure that the problem was resolved. These people know the business, many have their on rigs, which gives them the best experience. Thanks you Vanlife Outfitters!!!!

My husband and I are doing our first vanbuild. As rookies, we have found Vanlife Outfitters to be a trusted resource for ease of product shopping and purchasing, video demonstrations, guidance and excellent customer service. They were particularly a great one-stop shop when building our electrical system.
