I'm driving a 2010 Platinum, and just recently got her stuck in almost a foot of MUD. And I mean stuck stuck. After spraying off the runningboards I didn't have any problem with them. Lots of dust in Arizona too, no problems there either. They work pretty well.

Bye F150, hello F250
1 year anniversary here. Meaning 1 year in a Canadian winter with snow, freezing rain, AND salt! No issues last winter at all. I think, and its just a guess now, we had a day that was super cold, maybe 25 below C, and the boards did not deploy. But that was by design IIRC.
I would like the protection that normal boards give as well, to stop stones and grease from flying up, but I didn't want to give up clearance, nor have to worry about getting hung up on bumps when I'm off the road. Its a good trade off in my opinion.
Enjoy the Platiunum.

Hi
I have a 2010 F150 platinum screw with the automatic running boards. I love driving it. It is my first truck. I bought it used with 20,000 miles. It runs great.
I am having trouble with the running boards. Sometimes the drivers side works and sometimes it does not. The passenger side works fine. I took it to the Ford dealer and they are ordering a new motor for it. They said it may take 2 weeks to get the motor. I hope it will solve the problem. So far Ford has been great and so is the Ford dealer I bought it from.
BTW I live in sunny Florida (no snow)
Anyone else having trouble with their automatic running boards?

You can probably trade them for some Amp Research power steps which completely hide away and have a nice rugged coating on them.... i know that the stock platinum steps cost more then the amp research steps.. so someone might be willing to trade for the more luxurious look.... i love my amp steps - http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xe9...arch-powe_auto

Want to trade Lariat Chrome Running Boards????
I just bought a 2011 F-150 Lariat supercrew and wanted the platinum but couldn't afford it. I want to find a set of drop down running boards if anyone knows of any for sale or trade.
Thanks,
Matt
