These are aftermarket or factory-installed accessories designed to assist in entering and exiting a Toyota Tacoma pickup truck. They are typically bars or platforms mounted below the vehicle’s doors. These accessories improve accessibility, particularly for individuals with limited mobility or for navigating lifted Tacoma models.
Installation of these accessories can enhance vehicle aesthetics, providing a more rugged or finished appearance. They also offer a degree of protection to the vehicle’s lower body panels from road debris and potential impacts. Historically, such additions have been a popular upgrade for truck owners seeking improved functionality and visual appeal.
