OEM Running Boards

[Alfonsio]

Just an FYI - I was looking for chrome running boards for my truck. I didn't want to pay 600.00 at the dealer. I found them on AMAZON for 450.00 (that includes shipping). I printed the info and took it to the dealer. They matched the AMAZON price.
I was happy they matched the price. I wasn't too thrilled with the thought of buying something big and heavy and having them shipped and deal with any issues that occurred during shipping.

No way, the dealer matched the price? That's great, were the Amazon boards a genuine MOPAR part?

Nice, looks like Mopar has a full store on Amazon. I guess given the number of people that hit Amazon first and don't know OEMs sell direct it makes sense to market to them. And great the dealer hooked you up with their price.

That's great. Do the boards for 1500's fit the 2500's? I paid 700 for mine installed at the dealer.

Nice dealer you have there. Congrats on the purchase. Hopefully we can see pics when you are done with the truck.

I bought my truck used last year and it already had chrome Mopar running boards on it. Over the winter they are now showing signs of rust. So my plan was to buy a new pair and use those for the summer months and switch back to the old pair before winter arrives.

I'm going to say no they will not because the pair I bought are for a Quad Cab. The 2500 doesn't come in a Quad Cab.

I know..That's how they keep the sales price so low. Jack up the shipping. Overall 450.00 is a great price.

I never understood why these are not standard on 4x4's.
