Interested in the Trailhunter but need Running boards more than rock rails

Can I assume that someone like GoRhino will make RB20s or similar for the Trailhunter for those of us who aren’t interested in rock sliding a $60,000 truck?

 

They might. Contact them. How do you know the TH will be 60k?

 

He’s probably going off that YouTubers “leaked prices”

 

TBF I think most people on this site would much rather have the sliders, so you can probably trade them for someone's tubes immediately and + $$

 

If history is any indicator, there will be all kinds of steps and bars available on the aftermarket.

 

I don't. A guy on Tacoma FB page did recently post the purchase price of a brand new '23 TRD PRO which was $53,500. Everything I've read indicates the Trailhunter will be priced above the Pro. Given the '24 is larger, much more technology including the hybrid, I'm assuming $60k MSRP is pretty close.

 

Why do you buy the expensive model if you don't plan on crushing rocks with it?

And it'll probably be $70k+ after dealer "market adjustment", $80k with interest if you finance it...

 

Toyota dealers near me don’t charge above MSRP. I pay cash for vehicles. I like the looks and all bells & whistles so I only buy fully optioned models.

 

^You'll be waiting a while then, plenty of time for aftermarket step rails to become available.

You may also want to retrofit the Limited's power running boards then...

 

I’m going to wait for the 2025 model year anyway so Toyota can work any initial bugs out. Plus I want to test drive a Trailhunter longbed and a Limited long bed back to back to see which I prefer. The full time AWD in the Limited is appealing in my climate. However, I like the look of the Trailhunter. The test drives will be the determining factor.

 

curious, if you made a decision

 

The AFTERMARKET could do well by selling a step/plate/board that bolts onto the OEM rock rails!

 

i'd swap my stock running boards/step for rock rails !

 

As long as we’re doing a revival, these are now available. lol

Im having power boards installed next week, I might be convinced to sell my sliders

 

AMP boards are pretty slick….

you are correct and that is the brand I definitely would’ve went with if they made the extreme(dual motor) for the Tacoma TrailHunter- my installer and I spoke to the manufacturer which of course is realtruck and indeed their R&D person over the 24-25 Tacoma Hybrid truck said they are currently not even working on them so, I wound up going with their Volt a.k.a. go rhino, dual motor boards.

 

I agree, this would be something I would be interested in.

 

2023 even. And since there is no Limited long bed, he is going to be waiting a long time indeed to drive one back to back with a THLB.
