I’m 55 with messed up knees and this little step made me so happy. Easy to install too. I’m just gonna hang out here being happy about it.
I found something like this that might help others too:
That’s really neat. I’m not quite 50 but I’d probably use something like that. If that’s your car in the reflection, we’ve got a similar setup—Taco and a Subaru Outback. Good choices, honestly.

Yup, she has a 2022 that’s fully loaded. She feels safe in it and really loves it.

I kind of want one too. I don’t really need it, but the way grime builds up on the top of the tailgate makes it a mess when I climb in. I’ve got a bed cap that traps all that junk. This would save my pants from getting dirty every time.
This is perfect for the TRD-Offroad. Tailgate’s so high I’ve gotta jump to get in sometimes.
How does this mount, and what did it cost? Never thought about getting one for my '04 TRD until now. Curious if there’s one out there for my generation Taco.
A couple of my buddies have bumper steps on their full-size diesels. Thought that was just a factory thing, never knew aftermarket ones like this existed. This is awesome.

That’s really cool. Thanks for the link!
I’ve got one on my 3rd gen. AMP Research makes the same kind that Toyota sells as factory. I’d stay away from those Amazon ones under $100 though, they’re not built the same.
Can you drop a link? I’m hoping they make one for the Tundra too.

I’ve seen a bunch of 2022+ Tundras with these. Shouldn’t be hard to find one that fits.

Someone posted this link earlier, might help:
I have that same step on my Taco. It’s spring-loaded and easy to flip out or tuck away. Getting in the bed with the tailgate down is way easier now. I use it all the time.
