Truck's in the shop, loaner gives me an idea...

[Boardmember]

My loaner is a '17 LTZ with no running boards. I had no idea how much I didnt need/use them. Truck looks like it sits up more than my leveled, stock tired, GMC. I like it. Should I take mine off?

 

Would the wife be able to get into in the passenger seat?

We can't answer that wife question but as a general rule, if she is over 2 fiddy dry, she will need the running boards to get in.

Ha! I anticipated that response in some fashion. She's 5'8" and I guess I'd say she was only 1 fiddy.

 

Of course, being too lazy to Google "fiddy," I still might have described her as 250#...I assure you, fit and trim. Unlike my 6' 220# self...

Just take your side off, you can't see both sides anyway. J/k, I love my N-Fabs and wouldn't take em off for nothing.

Have her climb up in your loaner..... Then you'll know!

You might notice you wear your seat bolster away faster without running boards, depending on your exit style.

She climbed in, had the same comment about wearing seat bolster faster. On my side, I think I put more pressure on it because I hike myself over it. I don't use the boards.

 

I just like the Chevy look.

 

Is this what they call "first world problems?"

Getting in is less of a problem than getting out. Most of us turn and slide out, and without a step our butts yank the edge more.

I always think trucks look awkward without them. But I understand it's all about personal preference. Some folks probably think they look awful.

You and your wife may have no trouble getting in and out of your truck without running boards but passengers may have issues. I got my first set in 1985 to enable my kids to get in and out independently. Now I'm at the stage in life where my friends and I find them necessary!

Need pics of wife to confirm.

Hell I showed this to my wife and she said "fiddy" was slang for "fifty." What an idiot I am, have no idea how that escaped me. Then she was insulted. She ain't one fiddy either. Geez...
