Sounds like "running boards" to me ???? If so, they are for appearance, and maybe help getting in and out.

maybe just mud or debris flaps. To protect the oil or trans cooler in front and the spare tire in back. My best guess without a pic based on my 05 EB.

Is this for real?

Only plastic between the wheels is a decorative trip mold or the running board.

Some Explorers that didn't come with running boards, came with frame covers.
