Running Boards

[bobgriner]

What other Ford (SUV & Trucks) has running boards that are plug-n-play on a 2008 Expy? I have a SSV with no running boards at all and I want an easy solution.

I've got the ones that rusted off my 2007 just collecting rainwater in the back yard right now. If you were closer I'd say come get 'em!

I put 2015 Raptor running boards on my 2007 Limited EL.
Looks mean! Dont have the slip issues.

 

[bobgriner]

Did you have to do any fab work at all, or were they plug-n-play directly with existing structure and hardware on the Exp?

The Rator has 3 bracket points front and back that line up perfectly. The middle one not so much. 2 bracket points works great.
You can do the extra work and install the middle bracket you just need to drill and install the right size threaded rivet fitting and you are golden.

I haven't even looked under the Expedition. It has (3) mounting points also, or you had to be creative to attach the Raptor's 3rd point?

Are there any other stationary running board options either OEM or aftermarket that would replace the power running boards on a 2017 ford expedition LTD long box?

Thanks

There are 3rd party replacements available, but they are only a few $$ less than the OEM versions, but the stationary ones will
have different mounting points & placements than the power ones, which means they probably would require some drilling, and also plugging the old bolt holes to prevent water & dirt from getting in & rusting out that part of the frame...

Sorry I don't know the specific part #'s, but surely you can search those sites & come up with something....if not, you could always call them to ask for advice

I know this thread is old but gonna point out for other people on here that the 2nd generation raptor running boards do NOT work on a 2012 expedition. Not sure what changed from 2007 to 2012 as they are the same generation. I have a set of 2nd gen raptor boards and they mount completely different than the gen 1 raptor boards. I'm searching around and found some guys on a f150 forum that had brackets made to mount gen 2 boards to the 1st gen which have different mounts (same as expedition). Reached out but the likelihood of getting a response are slim. I'll keep y'all posted.

TL;DR: gen 1 raptor running boards will fit the expedition. gen 2 raptor running boards will NOT fit.
