    Only had the truck a few months. After joining this forum I had heard about it getting in/out of the truck. I hit it a couple times but this time drew blood...

    I added sliders, so when I get out I have to scoot my butt over a little before I can step out. Still can get dirt on my jeans when exiting.

    Hmmmm... I have owned my Taco for over three years and have yet to bump my shin. Maybe I'm doing it wrong. :notsure:

    OMG this is my 3rd Taco and just learned about this and in awe it exists because it’s not something I’ve experienced. ‍♂️

    Is this from the bottom corner of the door? I know that point sticks out in a weird way and has caught me a few times.

    This is weird, both my shins are bruised after getting the truck a little over a month ago. But not from the truck. Must be Taco Karma.

    What exactly are you hitting your shins on? Maybe you want to pad that area? A picture would be helpful. Tks

    I agree, you should wear shin pads when driving.

    This protruding edge while getting in. Maybe I just need to slow down a little. But I can't wait to drive this awesome truck....:D

    Ouch. Never did that yet

    But my dogs like to run into the bottom of the front door when it's open. We actually call it the dog magnet
