Really like this one. Minus the power running boards which don’t like winter

I love my power running boards but do leave them off in the winter just in case. I was told the issues stem from lack of maintenance (lubrication on the pivots)

But we all see the giant ice build up behind the wheels that occurs when driving. So I play it safe.

I turned my running boards off in winter also but them not moving all winter almost made them seized up faster.
Now would just prefer to have normal ones.

Power side steps do not last in our region, the Ford ones would seize up all the time and I’d usually just unplug them since they were a grand or so to fix. I’m hoping the Ram ones don’t suffer the same fate but most likely they will.

I've had my aftermarket retractable running boards since 2013 on my 2012 F150 FX4, no issues. Mine you I keep them clean and greased and I also installed weathertech mud flaps on the front to keep the slush off.
I found the factory ones useless, too high/ narrow compared to the retractable ones.
