Re-centered them after this photo was taken (I put them on after a few beers so were too far forward)...just in case you are interested in how they look on the Ranger....these are the Dee Zee's...personally, very pleased especially with the finish on them! Additional note - these are VERY simple to install @ home, all holes and brackets are perfect match and took about 45 mins for both sides!

Look just like mine. I agree, they are super easy to install and I love the fact that the steps are adjustable.

I just got off the phone with my dealer. They are saying $496 for the black supercrew ones. He says he can do match the $399 price if I can show it to them online. Has anyone seen these listed online anywhere for $399? I am not sure if the screenshots above would be enough to get the job done.
Call another dealer. I purchased mine for 399.00.
The same dealer also quoted 2 hours labor to install @ $144.00 an hour. Seems a bit high after reading many of the comments posted by others. I can do it myself but I’m not sure I want to work on my back ... considering the cost I may go pick them up tomorrow.
I ordered on April 3rd. They arrived on the 18th. When I called earlier in the week the parts department told me they were being manufactured by Fords vendor. If that’s true there should be inventory out there.

It literally took 30 minutes to install by myself.

30 minutes MAX! I did it myself in my garage with no lift or jack required!

It took me 45 minutes. Guess that beer slowed me down
I’m glad I did it myself and saved 300 dollars. I know the dealers have overhead but geez they want $25 dollars a bolt. It would take a ford mechanic about 10 minutes to complete this job. I think they look great and now I have some extra dough to buy something else

The stock running boards are almost useless unless you're short and need them to get into the vehicle. I'm 6'2 and they are way more annoying than useful to me. They get my pant leg dirty every time if I'm not paying attention. I'll be removing them as soon as the ground isn't 30°
My better half and I went to the dealership to order the factory running boards this morning. Fortunately, there was a XLT there with the boards that we were able to try. She about killed herself getting out of the truck, and I thought they were useless also being as narrow as they are. We left having decided we don't want them. $400 saved....

After ordering factory running boards from the dealer back in mid-March, they are being delivered tomorrow. They wanted $696 for the boards, installed. I asked about purchasing them for the $399 price that was listed on the Ford accessory sheet and the salesman said I could do that.
So I will be putting them on myself. Hope all of you that have said how easy they are to put on are right. Just couldn't see paying around $300 more to have them put on by someone else.

Just received my set of running boards. no instructions and no hardware. Are all the bolts you need already on the truck?

Got factory running boards today - $399 plus tax. . In the box were the boards and a package of bolts. It took me 30-45 minutes to put them on by myself. The dealer wanted $300 to put them on so I saved that!

For the part numbers, go back to the first page in this thread, the very first posting. Looks like they are different part numbers.

The hardware( 12 13mm hex bolts) should come in the box. Here is the crew cab running board installation instruction sheet.

I realized that I needed them after I got the truck.. Good thing too! Much more affordable when you can spare 45 min of easy labor! $363 out the door at my dealer as opposed to $635 to order with the build.

I have notice all post relate to supercrews. Do they make running boards for supercabs?
