Okay, Fellow Autopians!
I can't decide whether to leave the running boards on or take them off. So, I'm going to let you help me decide. Should I leave the running boards on or take them off?

The only reason I say to take them off is because I think the truck looks cleaner without them. If the truck had a 6 inch lift on it and looked a little more heavy duty then I would say keep them on. It looks a little too tame for the truck. JMO

I normally like running boards, but in your case I would say, take them off. The reason is that you truck is red, and everything else is colour keyed, including your tonneau cover. If you want to leave the 'boards on, then I think you should have them match the truck.

Does that mean that getting in isn't climbing mount car seat?

Since the truck looks really lowered, I don't think the running boards will make a difference. So in the interest of cleaner looks, I'll take them off.
