If they don't stick out, how can you "use" them?

 

Or are you talking about the ones that tuck up under the truck and come out when you open the door, hit the remote unlock, etc..?

 

EDIT : You seem to like a lot of Ford stuff. Are you sure you bought the right truck?? :)

Yeah, I went & found the link earlier, with the "in action" video. I was just waiting to make sure that's what he was really looking for. You never know with him some times...

The couple of sites I've found prices for them on seem to be $1200+. That's a little rich for my blood..

not worth it IMO cause that is just one more thing that could be broken if you ground out....

I've seen those but they are too expensive. I want the kinds of running boards that when you open the door, you can step on them but when you shut the door you cant. Non powered lol.

I can just picture getting used to those and blow a fuse. Step out expecting it to be there and perform a not so gracefull faceplant.

$1200 is way too much. Up here we salt our roads more heavily then a viking does steak. I would only give them maybe 2 years tops before the salt eats away the electronics and motor!

A coworker put the electric ones on his Dodge. To be honest, I thought a stationary chrome bar would have looked better on his black truck. He's only had them on there a couple months and we haven't had any major snow or ice yet. I was wondering the same thing about how long they would last. I can't get used to them when I get in his truck as I have this feeling they will suddenly disappear on me when I am stepping on then, like some sick joke out of a movie ;-) I think he paid about $1200 for his. Although they are solid when you stand on them (and he has a megacab so his are pretty long), they don't look real sturdy, so I'm not sure how they would take a beating from any off road activities. I have to admit I saw them on a red 3500HD dulley Silverado last year that was maxed out in features and they were sweet. But if I had that much in a truck it would be staying on the highway in the summer with a trailer attached. :-)

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
