TRD running boards for 2024 Limited Hybrid

Hey All,

I purchased my first Tundra (2024 Crewmax Limited Hybrid)6 weeks ago. While the truck was very well optioned by the dealer, it did not have running boards on it. I had done some research beforehand and really liked the look of the TRD boards, so I requested to have them added at that time. When we pulled up the accessory manual to find the part # and order them, they were not listed in the catalog. The salesman and the parts manager decided at that time to order a pair from the 2023 catalog since they were able to find a part # there. A week later, I returned to the dealer to have them installed and was told that they wouldn’t fit as there were holes in a different location??? Does anyone else have any experience with this? Are the boards and mounting holes really different between the 23 and 24 model years? Their story was that MAYBE they were changed slightly and that Toyota hasn’t released the 24 ones for the accessory catalog and that their current inventory is being saved for factory installation. Sounded like 100% speculation and 0% substance. The other theory was that there were different boards for gas vs. hybrid…I’m not sure why any of this information would’ve been difficult for the parts department to sort out , but…

The TRD boards are currently available as an optional accessory when building a 2024 on the Toyota website, and I’ve seen a handful of new hybrid trucks with them on dealer lots in the area, but just like at the dealership, if I use an online Toyota catalog at home, the only running boards available are the silver tubular ones that would look on a Lunar Rock-midnight edition w/ everything blacked out.

I spoke to my salesman today, but he had no updates on availability. Just looking for any insight if anyone else has run into this issue and can educate me.

Thank you!

Jason

 

Get a legit pair of after market sliders instead.

 

This is correct. There is a different frame for the TRD sliders. Just get some CBI or RCI sliders.

 

Could you please elaborate 40man? Thank you for your reply…I looked up the RCI,s and they claim that they’re compatible for both models with no separate installation instructions for gas vs. hybrid. I can’t see how the frames could be any different.

Thanks,
Jason
