Running Boards

A running board is an accessory for your vehicle. It is popular among truck and SUV owners because of the visual appeal it adds to a vehicle. Running boards were originally designed to act as a narrow step, and are usually located under the sides of the vehicle doors.

There are other reasons to consider installing a running board on your truck or SUV. The main practical use of a running board is to serve as a step for your passengers, because trucks and SUV are higher off the ground than other traditional vehicles. This is helpful for your smaller passengers or elderly passengers with limited mobility. Another function of a running board is that can protect your vehicle from flying rocks and other debris that you may encounter while driving at high speeds on the freeways or off-road. Running boards will serve as a shield, protecting the sides of your vehicle.

A few other benefits of running boards are that they also protect your vehicle from dents. They act a side bumper. SUV's and trucks are prone to dents due to their utilitarian uses. Small dents on the side of your vehicle can affect its resale value, and repairs can get expensive if dents accumulate. Running boards also serve as a type of placemat. Passengers can wipe their shoes on them before entering your vehicle. This will help maintain the interior of your truck or SUV.

Value, Affordability, Reliability & Drivability

What are the most important features for a young car driver making their first automobile purchase? Graduation is right around the corner and many College and High School students will be deciding which car best suits their lifestyle and wallet as well. 

Value, affordability, reliability, and drivability are the top concerns for any car customer, no less a young driver.

1) Value. While Hondas are not the least expensive cars on the market, they are affordable and offer great value for the money. There are many base models that run under $20,000. Hondas base models include standard features such as power windows and door locks, anti-lock brakes and airbags. These standard safety and comfort features make Honda a value that a lower priced vehicle just cannot compete with.

2) Affordability. Gas prices have soared in recent years. Honda's gas mileage helps young drivers get further on a single tank of gas.

3) Reliability. All new cars are reliable.  But when you factor long term reliability, Hondas beat nearly every other model. If properly maintained, you can expect your Honda to run over a decade, traveling upwards of 200,00 miles or more.  Also repair costs tend to be lower than other models.

4) Drivability. Because of Honda's good handling, quick acceleration, comfort and sporty looks, many Honda owners become lifelong aficionados. Another important aspect to many young car buyers is making sure they are living eco-friendly. Hybrid Options are plentiful. In fact, many of Honda's models come in hybrid versions including the Honda Insight which has a base price of around $18,000.
