    The mounts on the cab are up to 400lbs (correct me if I am wrong). I don't know the product specifically sorry.

    Sounds right on the mounts at 400lbs, wondering if the running boards themselves are lower than that...

    I’m actually wondering the same thing.
    What is the weight capacity of the running boards?
    Thanks

    I don’t think there is an actual capacity. I can remember ever seeing one for any running board, Tacoma or otherwise. Definitely wasn’t anything listed on mine when I took them off.

    I know it's at least 350 because me and someone else who totals that have been on one side before...I guess keep loading weight on until it fails and then rebuild it...that's what they do for bridges right? My dad told me that's what they do when I was a kid and I totally believed it...."Dad How do they figure out the weight limit for a bridge?"
