    Just took delivery on a 2015 Tacoma Pre-runner, double cab, 4 cylinder, SR5 and a few extras. I installed a G4 Elite Fold-a-Cover Tonneau top. Everything is great as expected except...

    One of my options was the OEM stainless steel running boards from Toyota. They look great except they are way to high to be functional as a step. They should be down about 4-6 inches. I am currently working with the dealer, but so far there is nothing they can do as the brackets do not have adjustable holes and there are no other brackets available from Toyota. I am having them get me the manufacturer of the running boards so I can contact them myself to see if there are other brackets available. If anyone has any ideas how to lower them , let me know,.

    I agree, They look nice but they are only 2 or 3 inches below the floor board. Not functional as a step at all. Let me know if you have any luck and I will do the same. Good Luck

    I have also noticed that every time I get in my truck my pants leg rubs against it and if it is wet or dirty then so are my slacks.
