I have a 2014 ML 350 Bluetec with factory side steps I'd like to swap out for factory sport package running boards. Anyone interested in a straight up swap?

Ask your dealer, there's many people on both sides of that fence. Easy to have both trucks on lifts side by side. I made that part of my deal when purchasing, the one in stock didn't have running boards and I wouldn't take it as is. They had another customer who wanted them off his/her truck. Took about 2 weeks as the dealer claimed they needed approval from MB to do the swap as my truck was technically new and the other one was considered used even they had just bought it. Long story short, it got done. So make a phone call and ask.

I'm looking to buy running boards for my 2014 ML350 gas version and just wondering of tgey can be used for my car? I'm very new on this forum and this is my first MB car-ever!

They are interchangeable from vehicle to vehicle for the W166 models. I happen to be looking for the sport package rocker panels vs the base model panels. Do you know which you have on your vehicle?

I'm not sure what's my vehicle model :-(. It's exactly like this.

Ah yes. Very nice! However, not the sport package rockers. Shoot!

Remember guys that the jack pads must be changed when the boards are swapped for the skirts.

Thanks for the reminder

See my other thread a couple down. I just got all the part numbers today. Yes, the support structure piece has to be changed under the rocker trim. This is a needle in haystack trying to find a sport pack that really wants running boards that doesn't already have them.

I'll likely give up. Depends on what I find out tomorrow about removing the lighted running boards.
