I love that color. I would probably go with the Amp research retractable unless you just like the look of steps/boards.

You wouldn't put boards on at all is what you're saying? If so, I feel ya, but I need them because my elderly parents, who both have health issues, have a lot of trouble getting in the truck without them, and I drive them around often, especially my old man.

So you think black?

put some amps on your truck and make your elderly parents pay for it.

I’ve got the same color truck and I have the round chrome nerf bars on mine, looks great and matches all of the chrome on the front end

Amp research power steps are the best running boards you can buy. Better than any oem power step. Pricey-ish but worth the money and if I can install them in an hour, any baw here can.

Plus, you can run led strips (white imo is the only non trashy version) to the rear light that comes with the Amp steps and have puddle lights that only come on when the door opens, if you want puddle lights. Takes no time at all.

Pricey-ish?!? They are fricking $2k! I have a set from Amazon on my previous truck that cost $200 and they looked fine and served their purpose for the 5 years I had the truck.

chrome grill = chrome bars

black or color coded grill = black bars

i thought this was universally understood

Idk mine were $1k two years ago for the regular non XL version and haven't checked prices since, sold that truck and the new one has oem power steps.

ETA: I know we are talking Chevy and you have to be specific with the brand for them as they are going to be a little different for each but there are truck sites that run promo deals on f150 forum on the vendor site, or at least they did the past few years, and they were as low as $800 for the f150 version when I was looking at mine, but I missed the deadline for it.

If you look at the images of the truck, it has a black grill with chrome front trim/mirrors. Which what brought me to the question of what color to put.
