Driver's Side A-Pillar Handle

Telling the Difference Between a 3rd Gen OEM Side Step and That of a 4th Gen OEM Side Step

One of the few mistakes some new owners do make, is not kmwoing how to differentiate a 3rd Gen OEM steps from that of a 4th Gen. There isn't much of a difference but the little difference there is, makes the 3rd Gen steps not compatible with a 4th Gen Tacoma. For 3rd Gen steps, the rail mounts horizontally to the ground. The steps for 24+ are angled to the rocker panel and the steps are mounted to the bottom rail with plastic side covers. Shared a photo of both the 3rd Gen side steps and that of a 4th Gen so owners can be able to spot and tell the difference. 3rd Gen 4th Gen

Has anyone came up with an A-Pillar handle for the drivers side yet?

Good question... Can someone also come up with a real grab handle? Lol. Instead of like a ledge to hold onto, like you're rock climbing...
