The double deploy is definitely a nuisance, but my main concern is the fact the timer option doesn’t even work. If they don’t fix this issue soon, motor burnout is going to be costly for Ford. I should be able to put my kid in his car seat on one side, and then get to the drivers side without them closing up so quickly. It’s not only annoying, but a safety issue.
Well that's just dumb. RAM pickup's running boards operate independent.

Wish they would fold under after vehicle has started moving, like the door locks that lock automatically. That would leave them extended in parking lots and eliminate need to hurry in the loading process.
Sharing current running board performance on my 22 Limited 304A SPP that was built end of August 22 as it's possible some things may have updated. When I unlock the doors, both running boards extend. If I don't touch a door, I timed 22-23 seconds and then they will close themselves. If I open a door, they will remain open for as long as any door is open. Once all doors are closed, they remain down for just over 2 seconds, then both close.
Personal commentary: FWIW, my general practice is to unlock and crack driver's door open - keeping boards deployed. Load/ unload anything and everything that is transferring, and then close drivers door when I know I'm done. In my mind, that both minimizes the number of times the boards bounce up and down, and keeps everyone safe from an accidental pinch.

Anyone heard of any plans for Ford to issue an update to fix the running board issues? Saw someone alluding to this but haven’t seen any updates come through and my dealer is zero help. Don’t want to leave it there for a week for them to tell me that’s how it’s supposed to operate.
My '17 F150's factory running boards work independently on each side, so must be a more recent change.
Keep a door open.
The setting does not work yet.
Thankfully, there’s a setting for that. Unfortunately, it does not work…at all.
