I forget which YouTube video I was watching (Sandy Munro's second look at the lightning? Not sure).
They were saying that the non-retractible running boards on the lightning had been specially designed to reduce drag. Probably partially responsible why the Platinum trim has lower range. (That, and the bigger tires).

Just called up your dealer and said "can you add powered running boards to my order?" Did they inform of any delay to your build?

I sent an email that said "hi, I just submitted the order and it's waiting for you to accept. Also, please add 18A and 96J because I will want deployable running boards and retractable tonneau cover. I am aware it might delay the order and that's fine. Thanks"
I got an updated Ford build sheet the next day. Super easy to work with.

Looks like the images of this Lariat in stone gray possibly has the power running boards. Seems like it's not as clean looking as the power running boards on my '21 f-150 powerboost, but it's better than without. Maybe they didn't want to show any demo trucks with power running boards since it highlights how much stuff is under the truck compared to the ICE f-150s (battery plus front and rear motors)?

What was the cost / price difference on your order?

Since they've stopped taking new orders for MY22, I'm wondering if they'll include any MY22 with the power running boards. Would be weird for them to accept a couple and not deliver any of the Platinum's with it, especially if the rumors are true of late-summer orders for EOY delivery for MY23. You ok if it delays you until end of year?
Anyway, it's all speculation I suppose.

I just added mine in SoCal and it came to $255 for some reason.
My dealer isn't charging me ADM so I'm not going to fuss over $30 bucks...

It was $255 for running boards on my Lariat ER.
I don't remember them being standard on the Lariat. Maybe they were/are for the Platinum, though. Regardless, they aren't free anymore

Do you have something that says they were supposed to be standard issue? I know they are on ICE Platinums and we expect they should have been on the Lightning, but I've never seen it in writing. Since they are late availability and Ford was working to keep that price under $80K for the Lariat I believe, they just designed and added the board we have and decided to add some mark up for the Power Deployable. They are listed in all of the order guides, but do note Late Availability and the price of $225 or $255 - somewhere in there. Which is indeed a cheap upgrade. Just wish they were available.

Honestly, at $255 there isn't much meat on the bone beyond paying the labor to attach them. As someone mentioned earlier they're basically "free" at that price.
