Stepside trucks: what's the point?

What difference does that make? You read it anyway, right? Did your opinion change after 10 years?

 

Only read the title, date of the thread and your post. No need to go any further. Step side, no step side, who gives a rats ass... its a Toyota

 

Eleven year bump to the top. I like it and the step side, but I'm old and worked out of old stepsides in the pump business, so I'm biased.

 

Wow, thread revival!

My grandfather always had step-side farm trucks, but those were old Chevys with actual functional steps. They allow farm workers to easily get carted around the fields, step off and back on.

 

I always thought it was a retro thing.

 

I’ve used mine often for loading & unloading surf equipment and actually like the look & I’ve come to realize that there’s only 3 years 2000-2003 that Toyota made them so makes mine even more special in IMO
