I’d suggest at least once every few months. And remember to give them a good clean after off-road drives!
Definitely! I love taking mine off-road, but I dread the cleanup afterward. A bit of grime can cause so much hassle!
Absolutely! But hey, a good hose down feels really rewarding after all that mud. Anyone ever had mechanical failures with their boards?

I’ve heard stories of the motors burning out. If they operate too slowly, check for obstruction or consider replacing the motor.
Ugh, that sounds frustrating! What about warranty? Do powered running boards usually have one?
Most brands offer a warranty, but it’s good to check specifics. Some only cover the motor, not the boards themselves. Always good to keep those receipts!
Got it! Keeping track of receipts can be a hassle, but worth it if something goes wrong!

Right? It’s like keeping a secret stash! Plus, if you ever decide to sell your F150, having all that info is handy.
True that! Has anyone ever tried fixing their running boards themselves? I was thinking about it.
I tried before and learned it’s not as easy as it looks! It can end up being more trouble than its worth; just better to consult a pro if you’re unsure.
