These aftermarket accessories, designed specifically for Toyota Tundra pickup trucks, are tubular or flat platforms affixed beneath the vehicle’s doors. They provide an intermediate stepping surface, bridging the gap between the ground and the cab’s interior. For instance, an individual might utilize them to more easily enter or exit the vehicle, particularly if it has a significant suspension lift or the occupant has limited mobility.
The incorporation of such features enhances accessibility and safety. Historically, trucks were built for utility, often prioritizing functionality over ease of use. These additions address this accessibility gap. They offer a secure foothold, mitigating the risk of slips and falls, particularly in inclement weather. Furthermore, they can provide a degree of protection to the vehicle’s lower body panels from road debris and minor impacts.
