[QUOTE="Larry Michael, post: 1040090, member: 71722"] Both my 2002 and 2010 STs came with factory running boards. Even though we don't have much road salt here in Colorado the basic steel pipe 2002 boards started rusting about 2010. I sold the truck to my best friend and he took them off when he moved to Tennessee. The 2010 boards are of very different construction and so far there is no sign of rust on them. I'll admit that I do occasionally get my pants legs dirty exiting the vehicle after driving in mud and road slop. But even though I am 6'3" and don't need the step to get in I still like it for access to the roof rack and sunroof. I stand on the running boards to dry the top of the truck and the sun roof window after a run to the car wash. And they are handy for securing stuff to the roof rack. There are still a lot of STs on the road in Colorado. I am amazed at how many times I still get compliments on the appearance of the truck from random folks in parking lots. They especially like the Dark Copper Metallic color, which I was not keen about at first but have come to like a lot. [/QUOTE]
