Default Time for new running boards!

Well... My wife was pulling out of our driveway yesterday and turned a little sharp. The back half of the truck cut the curb..and went into an ice/snow pile. She said something made a loud noise but didn't see any scratches or dents. Completely overlooked the running board.

Accidents happen so I'm not too upset. More so happy that the cab/rockers don't have a single mark on them.

Right now I'm leaning towards go rhino RB10s. Any one else have opinions of boards they are using I should look into? Not really interested in a tube style again. Thanks!

Splurge on Amp Research power steps. :P


There's a good chance the same accident wouldn't affect them at all as they would be retracted.

About 8 months ago I had a deal lined up for a used set at $400. As I was driving there with cash in hand he sold them out from under me. I can't get myself to drop $1200+ on a new set, though I would love to!

Go with amp, will be the best $1100 you spend on the truck! And get quotes from the venders on here. They always beat map pricing on amps.

I have the Go Rhino RB-20's on my truck and I really like them. They seem really well-built and durable. Something to note about them is they are wider towards the front than they are in the back, in case that doesn't work for you. I think the RB-10's are straight.

Those looks nice! One reason I'm leaning towards these is I'm not a fan of flares and wider boards should help with possible rock chips.

Somebody mentioned the power fold running boards. I was curious if the wiring is there already for them or if I would have to run new wiring. I have a Lariat with all the fancy packages.

I just installed them on my 2018 Lariat. Wiring is there.
