Running Boards Side Steps for 2024 2025 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab - Two

Our review of the YZONA running boards finds them most appealing to Tacoma owners who need a sturdy, no-fuss side step that improves access for lifted trucks and those with oversized tires. The single biggest reason to buy is the two-tier, drop-step layout that combines a low-profile mounting height with a secondary 6in leaf-shaped step, making roof access and entry easier without sacrificing ground clearance. Installation is straightforward and the heavy-duty carbon steel construction promises long-term durability.

Key Features

• Compatibility: Designed specifically for 2024 and 2025 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab and Crew Cab models, the fitment avoids modification when the cab dimensions match.
• Heavy-duty construction: Built from 2mm carbon steel, each side rail supports up to 550 pounds for confident stepping under load.
• Corrosion resistance: A high-quality black powder coating protects the metal from rust and harsh weather, extending service life.
• Two-tier step design: The dual stair layout provides an accessible lower step plus a higher step for easier roof reach on trucks with lift kits or oversized tires.
• Non-slip surface: Laser cutting and stamping deliver textured step areas that improve traction in wet or muddy conditions.
• Tool-free drilling: Bolt-on brackets and predrilled holes allow a roughly 20 minute installation per side with the supplied hardware.
