These components are vehicle accessories designed for specific models of Toyota’s mid-size pickup truck. They are installed along the sides of the vehicle, beneath the doors, to assist with entering and exiting the cab, particularly for lifted trucks or individuals with limited mobility. As original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts, they are produced by or for Toyota and are designed to integrate seamlessly with the vehicle’s existing structure and aesthetics.
The advantages of these accessories extend beyond mere convenience. They offer a measure of protection to the vehicle’s lower body panels from road debris and minor impacts, contributing to the truck’s longevity. Furthermore, their integration into the vehicle’s design ensures consistent fit and finish, preserving the factory appearance and potentially enhancing resale value. Historically, these accessories have evolved in design and material composition to meet customer demands for both functionality and style.
