These vehicle accessories are side steps manufactured by the original equipment manufacturer for the Toyota Tundra truck model. They are designed to aid entry and exit from the vehicle, particularly for occupants who may have difficulty with the truck’s height. Typically constructed from materials like aluminum or steel with a non-slip surface, these components mount directly to the vehicle’s frame.
The inclusion of such steps provides enhanced convenience and safety for passengers. They can also contribute to the vehicle’s aesthetics by adding a rugged or refined visual element, depending on the design. Historically, these types of add-ons became increasingly popular as trucks evolved into dual-purpose vehicles used for both work and everyday transportation, emphasizing the need for improved accessibility. Furthermore, by choosing manufacturer-provided options, owners can expect a precise fit and finish, ensuring proper integration with the vehicle’s overall design and safety systems.
