So I was told the running boards cost around $1600. Is that nuts? I saw them $500 on a dealer sticker. Who should I contact?

Sounds nuts to me, I say you gotta shop around. Also, there are guys on this forum and benzworld.org that have gotten them for less, search the two forums...you'll get a better idea.

That is correct

unless you order it with the truck (factory install), ordering them separate would cost you about 900 plus labor charges. If it is already installed, sticker is about right

Just buy and install them yourself . I was thinking of doing that but then you need to order the different Jack as well. really not worth it

Has any one actually gotten the running boards from any dealer in the US?

I thought I would be able to put them on myself, but it was way more involved then just jacking the truck up and bolting them in. Dealer charged me 375 for the install (for the ss running boards).
