I'm 5'7" with stock height on my 2012 Tacoma and they were just in the way. Unless you have kids or short passengers these steps are useless. I never used them.

It helps out a lot for shorter people. I noticed my wife and mother use it every time. They are under 6ft. The steps are low profile and are tucked underneath the doors so they don't really get in the way. I use the steps sometimes and I have never tripped on them. Makes the truck look beefy as well. I highly recommend it for trucks that are lifted, but it works on stock height as well. Have a nice day I hope this helps you in your purchase.

Being vertically challenged, I think they help getting into the truck. I use them all the time entering and usually put one foot on the step exiting.

The nerf bars/ "step" bars are off set from the bottom of the vehicle and they can be adjusted. They way they are set up on our Toyota Tacoma, the step bars dont stand off very far from the truck but they may offer some protection depending on how high your vehicle sits from the ground. If you understand what I'm getting at.

This fit my 2009 Tacoma Off Road Short bed perfectly. The 2013 Tacoma has no significant changes to the body so it will fit. Same issue as Jason; the steps are 6 inches too forward or small. Hard to step on if you can't get your doors fully extended/open when in tight parking spaces.

Yes they are right Blane, I have a 2013 double cab with TRD package, but with short bed and it fit perfectly. Will definitely not fit long bed. But great product overall!

I would say yes. I have the Tacoma and it has some slack when I put it in the doors, and when I put the magnets across the top of the truck

I used a couple of heavy duty cable ties and looped them through the seat belt bracket on the floor of my 2013 Tacoma. I could have looped them through the seat springs as well. I would be great if the bottom straps were longer or they made the cable ties part of the package and included in the instructions.

Yeah, it does.... if you pass the handle through the loop that the door stop is attached to, the whole thing slides down and cinches to the bar, with no way to slide off. It's really secure. My JGXT has a label sewn to it that shows how to do this, and I think they have it on the website too.

I never installed mine, I didn't want to drill into my truck, but when you put it together the top piece of the crossbar has a short side and a tall side if you flip the bars it gives you extra clearance

Our truck is not a Tacoma but a Tundra. When we bought the divider the instructions read that it will fit a full size bed but it can be adjusted to fit smaller beds. It is a great addition to our truck, without it, I will have to fetch things that we placed close to the tailgate all the way to the back of the cabin. The only thing that probably I don't like about it is that it works on a compressed spring to keep it in place and it takes quite a bit of force to place it across the bed.

Hello,Thank you for your interest!With all trucks, the kingpin will go in towards the board. Unless they are Reverse King Pin trucks; which these are not. Please, let us know if you need anything further assistance! Thanks,Customer Service

Climbing in the truck is fine. But it does feel a little awkward when climbing out of the truck. You have to position yourself a certain way if you want to use the step and not simply jump out.

Sorry Kimberly, I don't know the answer to that question. My Tacoma has the Access Cab, which I believe has a longer bed than the Quad Cab. I can tell you this: First, measure the length of your truck bed and see if you can order a cover corresponding to that length. When you order they will e-mail you back to confirm the correct size (at least that is what they did to me). Good luck!

I own a 2014 Toyota Tacoma double cab with the 5ft bed. It fits nicely in the bed. I use it for camping. I secure it the bed with a tie down.

The bar is provided with a soft foam grip which makes it easy to tighten the bar once in it's in place. Please note that the primary length adjustment is initially achieved by releasing the lock and then sliding one end of the bar until the bar is somewhat tight in the truck bed. Then the final tightness is achieved by turning the bar (using the foam grip) to get a tight fit. If you are unable to get a sufficiently tight fit by hand using the foam grip, you can always use a pair of expandable-jaw pliers, or vise-grip pliers, on the foam grip. Of course, the tighter you can get the fit of the bar within the bed, the better your load securing will be. Also, you might consider using two of these load-lock bars to increase your load securing capabilities.

If the door opens outward, like a traditional door, the rack will get in the way. The center bars do not move. I have a Rav4 wih a rear tire carrier and i can get my door open about a foot before it hits the rack.

Not as much as you would think. I have a crew cab longbox and it doesnt help much. I think if you have a standard cab you would prob be able to see better. It is a very nice bar though.

The top rails are exactly 8' long, so tney wouldn't extend over the cab much if any with an 8' bed. I think they make a version with longer rails.
