These accessories are aftermarket or manufacturer-provided steps designed to aid entry and exit from the Toyota Tundra pickup truck for the 2024 model year. They typically mount beneath the rocker panels of the vehicle, providing a lower stepping surface. Common examples include tubular steps, flat boards, and powered retractable steps.
The importance of these additions lies primarily in enhanced accessibility, particularly for individuals with limited mobility or those frequently entering and exiting the vehicle. They also offer protection to the vehicle’s lower body from road debris and potential damage. Historically, such accessories have evolved from simple, utilitarian steps to more sophisticated designs incorporating integrated lighting and automated deployment mechanisms.
