Optioned Raptor running boards: Sell? Keep?

[deaconBlue]

I'll soon be buying a 2025/26 BB + BD Bronco, and some are optioned with Raptor running boards (18J). I wouldn't have "ordered" these, they seem in demand as take-offs. I'm wondering:

- what price would these get?
- should I rethink this, and consider these a real plus?

For context, I'm in New England, and we deal with ice & snow for ~4 mos of the year. Will these help, or just be chonky ice magnets?

Bronco take-off parts go for little or nothing, I picked up running boards, rock rails, and a capable bumper from free to $100, a mod bumper for $250. People don't want that crap taking up garage space. Maybe you find someone to pay $100-200 but I wouldn't bet on it.

The OEM Raptor-Style Running Board are a really nice set of rock rails and boards and the one option that is still currently a factory only option. These also say "Bronco" on them vs "Raptor" which is also nice. New or like new take offs of these boards have been going for about $500 give or take on the forums, etc. If you like the style of these OEM boards then keep them because they are not easy to find at times and are very popular.

...also forgot to add that these boards, as with any of similar style, do help keep snow, mud, rocks and debris from impacting the sides and rear fender / door where it is known to take a bit of a beating. Of course proper mud flaps also help with this.

Also in New England and I would buy off you. I also have hoop steps I could throw in

@irishmurph01 With luck, I'll be joining the Velocity Blue club soon, brother. Such a cool color.

Nice rig, and I'm jealous of the painted top. Those are like hen's teeth on inventory Big Bends.

Thanks brother, she’s running the soft top right now though. There are a lot of awesome velocity blue accessories and trim pieces for these. I’ve spent way too much
