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

Well got my TrailHunter and Geo 2.5 Rooftop Tent from intrepid camp arrived quite fast. Reached out to xtrusion overland and they suggested to get roof rack first so i can measure the height and match it with their bed rack. Decided to go with this
