    They look like a very nice product...but OP the question is where do you live? I would be very concerned about winters and ice build up on them (restricting and possibly breaking the up/down mechanisms). If I was in a warmer states I would give these a serious look because I don’t like the look of steps on a truck...even though they greatly help!

    I was actually looking at those Amp power running boards. Little pricey.

    I live in Baltimore, does get pretty cold here. The amp malfunctions in the freezing cold?

    don't know, my parents have the Toyota ones on their limited and they have been fine over the last couple of winters here. But its is garaged at night so anything that gets on/in there melts off.

    I don’t know if there will definitely be any malfunctions per se, but in my worst case scenario mind I can see the potential...
