These aftermarket accessories are elongated steps installed along the sides of a vehicle, specifically designed for the 2023 Toyota Tacoma. Typically constructed from materials such as aluminum, steel, or composite polymers, they offer a supplementary point of contact for ingress and egress. These additions often feature a non-slip surface to enhance safety and provide secure footing in various weather conditions.
The inclusion of such a feature provides several advantages. They can significantly aid passengers, particularly those with limited mobility or children, in entering and exiting the vehicle. Furthermore, they serve as a protective barrier, shielding the vehicle’s lower body panels from road debris, rocks, and potential damage. Historically, these additions evolved from simple step bars to more integrated and aesthetically pleasing designs that complement the overall look of the truck.
