Toyota Tundra automatic running boards and bed step

Toyota tundra 2022 2023 automatic running boards demonstration.

[@wayneberkowitz3004]

Steve - super helpful. Thank you. I noticed that the 1794 you showed had a Toyota Tonneau cover. Any chance you can review the Toyota OEM tonneau cover? Thanks again.

[@stevenwelchtoyota]

Yes I can. i had that request i am just waiting to get my hands on another one

[@killerb5726]

Nice review. They should have just made the bed step manual. There are times I might want to just kick it and get in the bed or grab something from the bed without opening the tailgate or going back to the cab to hit a button.

[@stevenwelchtoyota]

i can understand that.

[@dgeigerr]

Hey Steve, my 23' Tundra has these exact running boards but my "out" switch doesn't toggle meaning I can't have the boards out all the time. I believe I used to be able to but can't now. The switch just goes back to auto

[@BrickyardPowerMan]

Good video. Can you manually push in the rear tailgate step if the running boards are set to "out"? Can you manually operate the tailgate step regardless what the switch is set to (push to come out and push to recede)? Thank you

[@stevenwelchtoyota]

i didnt try but i dont believe so

[@Marc-le4qd]

Hey Steve, Any Idea when the power running boards and power bed step will be available as an accessory at Toyota Dealerships? I’ve got the ‘22 Tundra Platinum and want to add this accessory. Getting into the truck bed is not an easy feat for a 5’-10” man and using the bumper to climb into the bed is not a great option with tailgate up. It’s been almost 5 months since this truck became available, hopefully Toyota will start getting these accessories out to the dealerships. Does this option require the addition of micro-chips, since it is powered by On/OFF/Auto switch as well as doors and tailgate?

[@stevenwelchtoyota]

Not sure when. On a part like that or a tonneau cover they will supply the factory first

[@markoldani6134]

Great video Steve! I am purchasing a 2022 Toyota Tundra limited 4 x 4 with the TRD off road package. I am adding running boards. Can my Toyota dealer add the power running boards with Toyota with original Toyota parts/materials? If they can how do they add the power on and off button in the cab? Keep posting the great videos! Thanks

[@stevenwelchtoyota]

honestly i believe they can add it but it is likely they will not be able to get the parts for a while

[@Toblo101]

Hey Steven! Is this still at the dealership? Looking to get the TRD Pro, but would love to come in and check this out just to see the truck in person. Thanks!

[@stevenwelchtoyota]

nope. it was actually a corporate trainers demo truck

[@TheMoonarc]

Thanks for the Video, Please let me know If the running boards and bed step are additional options or are included in Tundra 2022 platinum?

[@stevenwelchtoyota]

Options

[@akuna808able]

Nice truck. Do you by chance have a part number for the steps? My dealer can seem to order them

[@stevenwelchtoyota]

The code for new is RB. They dont look to have a aftermarket part number yet so they are probably not available for order.

[@troofus88]

Do you know if you're brothers up north get the power running boards and step? It's not listed on the website but the photo appears to include them with the tow mirrors on the platinum

[@stevenwelchtoyota]

I can check

[@tedvanderlinden]

Steven - do you know if I can procure the retractable motorized bed step to add to my 2024 TRD PRO. I can't seem to find an OEM for this. Thanks so much!

[@stevenwelchtoyota]

It's not offered on the pro

[@peterhamilton5488]

Can you advise whether you can get a 1794 edition in Blueprint with the Advanced Package that contains tow mirrors?

[@stevenwelchtoyota]

Yes you would want to ask for an 8376 for the short bed 1794 or 8386 for the long bed with MQ and AQ in 08x8 color.

[@johndeaux9987]

Is that Tonneau cover an OEM? My local dealer said they won't have any accessory options until April or so. Also, is it fairly water tight? I know none are perfect, but I've had some that are 100 times better than others.

[@stevenwelchtoyota]

It is OEM. It does not look to have any leaks

[@stevenwelchtoyota]

OEM cover is waterproof

[@maricelarooper9558]

Will the bed step and bed door open when truck is on? Or does the truck need to be off for it to open with key or manually?

[@stevenwelchtoyota]

Works both ways

Sooo, anytime you press "out", the sideboards and the rear step come out? Is there anyway to just have the sideboards come out without the rear step coming out? (when pushing the "out" button}

there may be a setting in the settings screen but i don't believe so

[@miken8336]

Hey Steve, can you comment on on the remote start happens. Is it at easy as pushing a button, or do you have to pay for a subscription through the app. A lot of $ for No remote start! Toyota has avoided this for too long. I have 2 Tundras, and the aftermarket is the only answer?

[@stevenwelchtoyota]

it has remote connect. it is app based free forbthe first year with key fob functionality for 10 years

[@Wintersbite]

Hey Steve. Random Tundra question. Does the Limited spec offer the 32.5 gal fuel tank? Was at my local dealer and they didn't have a positive answer. I cant find anywhere that confirms this or not. Looks to me as though thete is no larger fuel rank option on Limited trim. Help me out buddy😎

[@stevenwelchtoyota]

There is only 1 tank on the upper trim levels. The 32.2 gallon tank. I did a video on it

does the 1794 have puddle lamps on the mirrors, no one has shown or covered the bump on the ottom of the mirrors

The bumps on the mirrors are cameras

I'm afraid this is one of the areas they dropped the ball. I saw another review that specifically said it wasn't an option with any package.

Deal breaker for many, rear step should be standard on all Tundra models. Also no front tow hooks? You'll be in big trouble if you ever happen to get stuck in deep mud or snow up to the bumper. Two major issues with this Tundra..too bad it could have been a decent truck.

[@stevenwelchtoyota]

[@MrRokusek]

So if you want your floorboards to just stay out the step stays out all the time...and why not make it so you hit the button again and the tailgate and step go back

[@stevenwelchtoyota]

why would you want the boards to stay out?

[@MrRokusek]

@@stevenwelchtoyota I have an POS F150 where the boards go in and out all the time depending on if the key is near by, this causes a lot of wear and tear on the actuators so I tend to just leave mine out...just seems like Toyota missed the mark on this by not having them as a separate function that can be tied together

[@thegreatempire3882]

The issue I have with power steps is a matter of when they stop working than a matter of if.

[@johndeaux9987]

I had a 2019 Ram with their version of this same design. Mine lasted less than a year before the actuators went out. I hope Toyota did a better job. In all fairness and full disclosure, the Ram I had was a total POS and a lemon from literally the second day I owned it. I lost count, but I believe the actuator issue was the 16th trip in for service in less than 12 months.

@@johndeaux9987 comparing a ram to a Toyota is like comparing a bike to a car

[@johndeaux9987]

@@stevenwelchtoyota by no means comparing!! That Ram was worse than a bicycle!! Merely stating the designs look very very similar, so I'd assume a failure would be with the actuator. The first five failures were software related with Ram, then the failures went mechanical. I can't wait to try out Toyota, hopefully mine is arriving the 22nd!
