2016 running board question

[Mark4runnar]

I have a 2016 Limited. It did not come with running boards
I plan to add running boards, and like the look / functionality of the "OEM rigid " running boards that come as an option on the 2016 TRAIL

Question:
Does anybody know if the "rigid running boards" from a TRAIL, will fit / work on a LIMITED?
The ones that the dealer showed me look lame, and I hate them.

Thanks

Trail running boards won't work on Limited because of plastic rocker panel below your doors.

Metaltech is offering a 20% discount on their OPOR sliders right now. They will look great on your car once you get rid of the limited rims.

If you want more details as well as a way to change them out take a look at this thread.

Also if you don't want to change your rockers and aren't going to off-road much there are some nice aftermarket steps that would look good on your limited. Never used this site but good pics of what is available.

I'm interested how you found a Limited without running boards. You may have found a unicron 4Runner... I've never heard of such a thing

See them all over Denver... Maybe 4Runners sell so fast here the stealerships don't have time to bolt them on and up charge for them.

BTW what's a unicron? :bluejump:

I just picked up my 2016 limiTed. No running boards included either

Interesting, but I'm allowed to keep the stock rims, right?

Didn't realize that was a typo of unicorn until you posted this lol

I thought he was mentioning:

Unicron - Transformers Wiki

Ha-ha! I think they will look better then the stock steps, Limited rims or not. Eventually fantom will lead to seeking out some new wheels

thanks for the feedback I was worried that the trail running board would not line up.
I have a limited, my son has a trail - and I like the look of the rigid running boards.
He lives about 3 hrs away, but both 4 runners will be I the same place in 2 weeks, so I will be able to have them side by side for a comparison.

I live in Boston------- a fair amount of LTD's on the lots do not have them. Some have the "auto running boards".....but those are super hard to find. I think they only come on black ones in 2016.
The dealers do ram them on to some of the LTD's------ the same dealers that stuff all the margin builders on --- Zurich wax???? 200 , crazy, other useless add on's.

I remember reading a note that described how the regions are structured and the behavior by region dictates what are the likely features combo's are---- they suggested it was tied to mkt buying behaviors???

I'm in Boston too and my 2014 limited didn't come with running boards. I'm adding them to save my seats from excessive wear.

My limited came with them in Canada, not even an option. At first I didn't like them but they have grown on me now.... might be able to get a used set cheap for those who don't like them
