..does the running boards and front and rear skid plates included in this package? thanks for any info

 

I did not get those with my appearance package in 06

 

running boards are not included in the "exterior appearance package" This package was on the earlier production models and was recently changed. The new package is the "sport package" which does include the running boards.

If you order a car now, you have to order the sport. Most ML's on the lot still have the exterior appearance package.
