Running Boards - Toyota OEM or aftermarket

[brumey]

For those of you who have your 2025 4-Runners, I am interested in the quality and looks of the fixed running boards. I am getting an SR5 id it was not optioned with anything. I was going to get the Toyota running boards thinking the fit and install would be good. I am not planning any off-road use, maybe light trails at most. I did all my off-road driving in a jeep many years ago

Its primarily to assist shorter or older people getting into the SUV. If it does provide any protection to the lower side, that is a bonus. I am looking for quality, strong, nice finish and made in USA if possible. SO, please shoot me recommendations and opinions on the Toyota fixed running board.

Also looking at Toyota mudguards, all weather mats as Wethertech does not have anything for the 6th gen 4-runner yet.

I am getting the feeling the 4-runner after market accessory scene is hot, like it was for my jeep!

I also am looking at the running boards and mudguards. Considering OEM, but not a huge fan of the two styles offered (fixed and not the step or tube). I liked the crushed black I had in my 5th gen and 4th gen.

I have one coming in in a week or two I'm hoping to have the same boards as the dealer had on his previous models that were already sold

Your spec sheet will tell you if you're going to have those or not. They are a port installed option that cost $1250.

I am guessing there will be plenty of OEM take-offs for sale from the TRD Off-Roads soon since they come standard on that model.

I'd sell you mine if you were closer.

I am going aftermarket sliders. With that said I took off the OEM steps and in person especially it made the truck clearance look so much better.

May just come with the OR, I don't see them as a standalone part either. I am looking to get rid of mine but am in Colorado, DM me if you want to see if we can work out shipping.
