ESP Raptor

One of my Partners just took delivery of a King Ranch 2017 SCREW. He got bed steps with it. I am thinking about getting after market bed steps added. Anyone have experience? Has anyone seen a 2017 Raptor with steps?

I had those on my 2015 Platinum. Never really used them. They are very stiff and if you don't use them or keep them cleaned well, they stick closed and don't want to come out. I will never get them again. This is just my humble opinion. If you use them a lot, they may be ok.

I'm on the other side of that. I have them on my 2016 Platinum and while they don't get used a lot, they do come in handy occasionall. Haven't really had any issues with them but they are a bit tricky to operate. Not bad once you learn it. I've got 2.-2/4" blocks in the back so that step helps a bit.

Now with that being said I don't believe they will fit on a Raptor due to the running boards going further back than on the regular trucks. The good thing is that the running board should offer you a step at that poin anyway.

Well I was looking for the pic that made me think the running boards went back that far but can't find it and what I'm seeing looks like it doesn't. Guess I was wrong about that. Disregard.

I had them on my 15' and loved them(helps alot when lifted of course) like others said you do have to keep them clean so they work smoothly.
Only thing im not sure of is on the raptor they mentioned new frame parts/design so i dont know if the mounting holes exist in the raptor.

These steps are OEM accessories? I didn't see them when I ordered mine.
Also, my window sticker mentions "RUNNING BOARDS - CAST ALUM" under standard equipment. These are the running board that come standard with the truck, instead of with a package, right? I didn't expect to get running boards when I ordered the truck and had expected to buy aftermarket instead, so this was a good surprise.

They are a factory option for the standard F150s
