My wife's Wind Chill Sport Premium was originally built with the predator steps, which the dealer was kind enough to remove. I was on the fence about adding them anyway and figured this would give me the option of aftermarket or OEM after delivery. Now that we have it, I do like the clean look of it without them. My wife is on the shorter side and this is her daily driver. With the current Toyota Parts sale and the additional discount code found on this site I can get the cast aluminum steps delivered in my area for $633 out the door! Obviously this is basically half off MSRP! These are probably the only ones we would considered because of the cleaner look and they are closer to the underbody unlike the tube steps. I've searched the forum and found multiple photos with these steps on them but its still hard to picture on the white. If anyone has a Wind Chill with the cast aluminum steps on theirs, would you be kind enough to post a couple of pics to give a better visual?

That's a hell of a deal for the cast aluminum steps! Share the link with us please.

Here is ours with the aluminum TRD running boards (only pic handy on my phone). Great if you’re looking for a more streamlined look.

Yes, works well for us. I don’t think it’s quite as wide as the OR OEM boards but it’s perfectly fine for us. It’s my wife’s primary car (mostly in-town driving) and we had the predator steps like OP. She likes the TRD better.

go rhino rb20 are a good alternative. just dont get the slim version. slims are like 4.5 inches in width total vs the normal sized ones at 6.5 inches width.

that total width does NOT include mounting loss

black painted is like $575 and bedliner coated is like $800

real truck has free shipping

Hello everyone. Getting ready to pick up our 2025 TRD Pro (4Runner). I want to add aftermarket running boards but a few sites that I have looked at/on are telling me that fitments can't be confirmed yet due to the "newness of the vehicle" (their quote not mine). I found these and would like to know if any of you have tried them and if they fit or maybe you can direct me to a site that has the correct fitments available? Really like the look of these due to their stremlineness. Not wanting chrome or anything that is super wide or has holes in them. Thanks for any help.

We did end up going with TRD cast aluminum steps on our Sport Premium. They are a little pricey at MSRP($1250). But we got ours with a huge discount when Toyota parts had their 15 percent off and there was a promo code found on this site. They are super easy to install. Took out the existing 6 bolts, propped them on some jack stands, and mounted with the 6 new bolts(25 ft/lbs torque based on directions I found online).
They are super streamlined and finished with the gritty bed liner like coating. They are super sharp and my wife loves, except for the first time she drove it and forgot she had them, and lost a little a little skin on the back side of ankles due to the textured coating!
They do have some rectangular slotted holes, since you mentioned you didn’t prefer that. We have 4 dealerships in our area and all their prices varied. The cheapest one had them $925 before any discounts or promo. They refused to ship them even though there was free shipping because of fear of damage. Not super heavy but a long awkward box that did fit in with seats down.

Here’s the part number: PT767-89250. Link would just go to my dealership here in OH that won’t ship anyway.
