My bonehead son seems to have bent the running boards on my 2017

[jlanka]

He was going to wash it, and wanted the running boards to stay out. Not being aware that it can be configured to do that from the left menu, he stood on them after he closed the door and forced them to stay out. Now they seem to be tilted down about 10 degrees in the down position, although they do fold up all the way.

Does anyone know if this is an adjustment, or if he actually bent them?

thats a darn good question. I stand on mine to wash the expy and they have never tilted down. I weigh a svelt 253 lbs

Have you tried applying upward pressure to set them back up to full close?

Like I said, they seem to be fully up in the up position as far as I can tell.

Cute kid

Wow....sometimes we as parents just have to ask....why?

I'll bet that he had damaged the gearing and/or the levers that rotate them to the up position and once bent, they're broke.

Sorry to hear brother....my guess is that's going to be an expensive fix.

I just select "deployed" on the left side display, lube with motorcycle chain lube then wash(keeps the water out) and then select "auto" as I'm finishing up so I can wash the outside of them.

Have him do a full detail once per week until 2027 and you can call it even.

You think the truck would survive 520 sessions of THAT???


Have mercy, it's marketed as light/medium duty.... not a riot control armored vehicle

2017 under warranty. Take it to the dealer and just say it doesn't look right.

Valid point. Maybe have him pay to have someone else detail it.
