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

YotaVerse Black "Leather" Seat Covers With TRD Pro Camo Design - First Impressions

If you saw my post from yesterday, you saw that I just got these new seat covers from YotaVerse in the mail. I was really starting to hate the fabric seats, so it was time for an upgrade. Quick features... - air vents that breathe - package includes a full interior (center console included) - works with factory airbags - easier to clean, can be machine washed - what I believe is synthetic leather - imitation trd pro camo coloring - available in black or red (ISO seats anyone?) I got them on in a couple of hours (I was also shooting some photo/video). The install is pretty easy, you just need to take your time and make sure the material is nicely tucked. The warmer it is, the easier this install is. If it's cold, the leather gets stiffer. They honestly look amazing and are super comfortable. They fit great on the seats. And yes, if you’re wondering, your heated and cooled seats will still work. The cooler portion won't penetrate as much, but that's pretty standard. https://www.yotaverse.com/products/pro-style-camo-seat-covers-for-2024-tacoma

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.
