These aftermarket accessories affix to the sides of Toyota Tundra pickup trucks, typically below the doors, and are designed to aid in entering and exiting the vehicle. They function as intermediate steps, particularly beneficial for individuals with limited mobility or when the vehicle is lifted or equipped with oversized tires.
The installation of these components enhances vehicle accessibility, improving safety and convenience for drivers and passengers. Beyond functionality, they often contribute to the vehicle’s aesthetic appeal, providing a rugged or customized look. Originally conceived to address access challenges in larger vehicles, these additions have evolved to encompass diverse designs and materials to meet varied consumer preferences.
