Running boards on Mavericks

[RZ2O16]

I wonder about what people think about running boards on the Maverick. From what I've seen, people have mostly negative opinions on adding running boards on Mavericks. I wanted to see opinions on them from more people. So what are your opinions on adding running boards on Mavericks?

why? I can suppose it can help older folks getting in and out of the truck but even then, it's so short as it is that I'm only 5'10 and I slide right in the seats.

I personally don't see the point as I'm sitting down to get in the Maverick. That's why I got it. The F-150 needs running boards simply to get in them.

However, I am not opposed to the idea. I just don't think I'll get them.

Interesting response. I think that's what most people would say.

What do you think?

I agree with @commadorebob that for a purely functional aspect there is very little need for running boards (or the tubular variants that have a different, pejorative seeming name that I can't think of off the top of my head). Unless you have a rack on the roof, then you could have people hanging off the side of the truck as you drive around the ranch. (Standing on the running board, holding onto the roof rack.)

Other than that, if looks are your thing, it's no worse than the stick-on hood air scoop cosmetic pieces. Not my truck, not my call.

Who gives a popcorn fart what others think. It's your truck, put whatever you want on it. I just got some chrome nerf bars for my atlas blue Mav. As soon as it's not hotter than Satan's butt-crack, I'll be putting them on.

What do you think?

They look pretty good on your Maverick. What brand are the running boards from? (Thought they were from Keko for a second.)

I think your truck looks decent-

Add some fender flares, to tie it all together...

Are they needed....no.

Do you want them....that's up to you.

Most of the mods we do are not needed.
We do mods because we want to and we can.

I think they look good.

I agree 100%. People should do whatever they please.

Regardless of how hideous and atrocious they look on the Maverick.

Not needed to get in and out and without a roof rack limited utility for reaching external gear. That being said, right now I'm having to use a step ladder to dry the roof and wipe water spots on wash day, it would come in handy for that.

It all really depends on the situation.

Agree that you don't really need it on the Mav since its pretty low to step into.
But I think they look good, and it might make getting in and out slightly easier for some.

I put them on mine but really for the dog so she can step down easily
