I was at my dealership today and they had three pairs in stock. I was able to swing a 10% discount and brought a set home with me. I hope to install them tonight and be done with the whining from my family about not being able to get in my truck.

Sounds like your dealer is hiding all the unicorns. Enjoy!

GMPD always shafts you with shipping cost. I would try the dealership, some of the dealerships can order you parts at cost depending on who you know or at least tell you of a dealer that has the part in stock near you. That's how I get a majority of my stuff.

GMPD was who showed the part as discontinued previously. I asked my dealership parts department about them a few weeks ago and they were listed as constrained and not orderable. Now places appear to be showing them available. I have an appointment at my dealership tomorrow and plan to see what’s up now. If they available at a reasonable price I will buy a set.

Oh, my dealer can get them now, even listed on the accessories website... for OVER MSRP! It would be cheaper paying the $300 shipping from GMPD. lol

I asked if they can come down/match price, will see what they come back with.

Yeah I have some friends who work at the dealer that's why I can get my parts at cost.

Ask your salesman to dinner in exchange for some discounts

They are back on the site now. $1145 is what the dealer quoted me. That appears to be MSRP. I got them for $1050 I think - 10% off. $900 + $300 shipping is still much higher.

They're a little pricey, but I like them so far. Very grippy. And I like how they're tucked up high to preserve ground clearance. I'm sure they'll be hard to clean though because of the texture.

Yeah, the $1145 is what GMPD has listed for MSRP which is what I was going off of. My dealer however is selling them for $1259.50, and that's parts only, not even the installed price, which is why GMPD even with shipping would be cheaper.

I've searched every online parts site and shipping is always outrageous on these steps. I did find one parts site that had them listed in the low $900s and shipping brought it to $1055, close to your deal. I may go that route if I can't get my dealer down to at least that price.

Still waiting for a call back, I'm not holding out hope though. lol

Buy them through the GMC accessory site and they will ship to your dealership for free pickup. In fact, they had a 10% off coupon on that site as well that I used to buy my Kicker sub - OCTOBER10. Your dealership gets no say in the matter, they just hand you the part. That's how I convinced my dealer to give me 10% off, I told them it was available online. If your dealer is charging over MSRP I would do it just to piss them off.

Also, if you have any GM reward points you can convert them to cash for an even bigger discount online.

That is only like a hundred or 2 hundred less then amp steps, why not go with those?

1. The Amp steps wont protect from inconsiderate people who will let their door swing open and hit whatever. The full length boards should stick out just enough to help with this.

2. TBH, I don't like how the AMPs look installed on the trucks. I originally was thinking of getting those (and forgoing protection for #1) until I saw a set in person. They don't tuck up and hide away as well as they do on other vehicles I have seen and because of this they just look odd to me as they don't cover the full cab length. While they can be adjusted, either you have a gap at the back, the front or both and they just look off to me. I suspect they aren't making custom step lengths for each vehicle and just have stock lengths and just go with something that "works".

Thanks for the code, I must have missed that one. I do have some reward points but I was saving those to get the lighted front emblem.

So when I got to choose my dealer, neither my selling dealer or the other local dealer are options to select from. Closest dealer I can choose is over 1hr away.

edit: and I figured out why... I'm guessing all dealers don't have to participate with the "generic" ship to dealer option, or with corporate discounts either because if I go to the other local dealer that is selling them for the standard MSRP and try to enter in OCTOBER10 through their portal it says it's invalid.

That sucks. Maybe wait a couple more weeks for stock to get built back up and prices will come down. I read someplace that GM's running board supplier was having supply chain problems and stopped delivering for a couple of months. The situation has been resolved and parts are starting to flow again.

fastk9dad · October 30, 2021

Picked up and installed my steps today. Just ended up having them shipped to the dealer that was an hour away. It's an easy ride and glad I went as they had several modded trucks for sale, including a Black Widow. The trip was worth the eye candy. Got home, put steps on w/o much ado and now the wife is happy to have a shorter step.

Love my new off road steps. I bought from a guy locally taking his off. They are more than 2" better ground clearance than the stock ones that came on my 2020 AT4

Any issues mounting these? GM catalog only shows them for 2021-2022 model year trucks, trying to figure out if they will fit my 2020 silverado

Bikerjon · May 20, 2022

They should fit. Make sure to order or purchase the right part # 84453734 for the Crew Cab and # 84453735 for the double cab. I have these on my 2021 Trail Boss and love them.
