Running boards for 2021 Warlock Quad.

[Studay]

Just purchased 2021 Ram Warlock Quad cab. Would like a decent set of running board but do not want to drill. Any suggestion? Thanks

Congrats on your new truck and welcome to the forum. There are lots of bolt on options for you. Just keep in mind that your Warlock is a 4th gen Ram 1500, so to make it easy you should shop for boards for 2009-2018 Ram 1500 QC.

Are you looking for running boards or step bars?

Running boards. The dealership quoted me $700 for the boards and another $260 to put them on. When I mentioned I could put them on they mentioned that they had to be rivided on. Hmmm

It's common for those two terms to be interchanged. I'm not even sure there's actually a difference. Maybe it's a regional thing. Around here people call them side steps (or just steps), nerf bars, running boards. And probably a couple more I missed. Search on the words running boards brings up images of pretty much everything you can imagine that can be mounted to the rocker panel area of a vehicle. I know what I consider running boards, and what I consider step bars. But there is so much grey area in between it's not worth trying to figure out which is which LOL
