Modifying Power running boards for 2021 2022 Platinum F150

[Jeff1024]

Yup, when I picked up my ‘22 Platinum back in late June…I too noticed immediately how much higher the 22’s powerboards were when deployed. However, I too have quickly gotten used to them, and I do have to say that the new poweboards on the 21’s and 22’s, are much nicer looking and are thicker/heftier in their girth and thickness..a much more premium and quality looking set up In my opinion than in the previous generation(my ‘19 KR).

So for me I am happier with them overall, even though they deploy much higher than before.

I agree the new boards do look and feel much beefier as compared to the old. I like that they run the full length of the bed also.

I have also used the kick switch to deploy them so I guess I cant complain about them too much, but if only they were a bit lower to the ground

One last thing here ! Anyone else notice the pics online, Only found one pic or the rear of 2023 Platinum AND it looks like they have dropped the pretty Stainless panel on the tailgate !
Man they keep dropping stuff here and there that you get used to seeing in a high end trucks...Especially on the Lariats which now dont have ratchet headrests or led in the glovebox and cup holders and tag. The AC vents could be a bit more decorative too.

Reply to my own post hahaha I see on the new build site now that the stainless plackard on the tailgate is back in the pictures so Yeaaah. Man they sure do struggle with doing anything right with that site.

my 22 they seem to drop 5 or 6 inches, i have not put a tape on them yet
i just would like them to only deploy on the side you open the door vice both dropping
i really like the extended length to gain better access to the bed

Oh wow I didnt know they both opened at once. Bad design. Another reason I like the Amp boards better. Also just an FYI Not sure about the factory boards but the Amp boards are adjustable and could be slid rearward. It would likely look funny though.

not sure why they changed the mode of operation
