Adding the EV Sportline RMaxx Running Boards to My Gen 2 R1T

I recently installed the EV Sportline RMaxx Running Boards on my 2025 Rivian R1T Gen 2 and wanted to share my experience. These running boards are a solid upgrade—they look great, make getting in and out easier, and don’t mess with the truck’s ground clearance.

If you’re curious about the installation process or wondering if these are worth it, check out my video below where I go over everything, step by step:

Why I Went with the RMaxx Running Boards

• Easy to install: There are no complicated steps here. EV Sportline also has a super helpful installation video.
• Super Functional: They’re perfect for everyday use without compromising off-road performance. Plus my wife is happy and a happy wife = happy life.
• Great Look: These boards fit the R1T’s design well—sleek, rugged, and modern.
