2005-2015 TOYOTA TACOMA BLACK RUNNING BOARDS DOUBLE CAB LH LEFT / RH RIGHT OEM

2005-2015 Toyota Tacoma Black Running Boards Double Cab OEM | McClain Auto Part

Product Overview

This is a genuine OEM black running board set for the 2005 to 2015 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab, available as individual left side or right side units or as a matched pair. These are the factory-installed black running boards that came on Double Cab Tacoma trucks in this color and finish configuration across this model year range.

The second-generation Tacoma ran from 2005 through 2015 and established the platform that made the Tacoma the best-selling midsize truck in the United States. Black running boards appeared across multiple trim levels on this generation as both standard and optional equipment depending on the specific model year and trim configuration. The factory black finish provides a clean, functional appearance that works across a wide range of Tacoma exterior colors without requiring color matching.

The Double Cab designation is a critical fitment specification. Double Cab and Access Cab Tacoma running boards carry different lengths and mounting bracket positions that are not interchangeable within the same generation. This listing covers the Double Cab configuration specifically, and installing a Double Cab running board on an Access Cab truck produces visible length discrepancies and bracket misalignment. Confirm your Tacoma is a Double Cab before ordering.

Our team removed these running boards from donor second-generation Tacoma Double Cab trucks and inspected them at our Cleveland, Ohio facility before listing. Condition is documented before shipping and additional photos are available on request before you commit to an order.

Product Specifications

Left Side, Right Side, or Matched Pair

This listing covers both left side and right side black running boards for the second-generation Tacoma Double Cab. Contact us before ordering to confirm current availability of individual sides or matched pairs and to discuss your specific replacement need.

If only one running board requires replacement due to single-side damage, sourcing an individual unit is the more cost-effective approach. However, if both boards show significant wear or one side has been damaged while the other has aged considerably, sourcing a matched pair from the same donor vehicle produces the most consistent appearance and wear profile across both sides.

We advise on the best sourcing approach for your situation when you contact us. Provide your side preference and we confirm current availability before the order is placed.

Black Finish on the Second-Generation Tacoma

Black running boards appeared on the second-generation Tacoma across multiple trim levels as both standard equipment and as part of appearance package options. The factory black finish covers the full running board surface including the step pad surround, board face, and bracket contact areas.

Used OEM running boards from this generation commonly show step pad wear from regular foot traffic, minor scuffs on the board face from road debris, and finish fading at high-exposure areas from UV and weather exposure. Given the 10 to 20 year age range of these components, some surface wear is expected and documented before listing.

We document the full surface condition on each unit before listing and provide close-up photos on request. Contact us for surface condition photos before ordering so you can evaluate the finish against your truck’s existing components and your expectations.

Second-Generation Tacoma Platform Context

The second-generation Tacoma launched for 2005 with a comprehensive redesign that replaced the first-generation platform. This generation ran through 2015, covering a broad eleven-year production window before the third-generation redesign launched for 2016.

Within this eleven-year window, running board mounting architecture remained consistent enough to support broad year-range coverage on this listing. However, minor trim and equipment variations across model years can affect running board configuration in some applications. Providing your VIN before ordering allows us to confirm the correct configuration for your specific truck.

The second-generation running board mounting system does not interchange with the third-generation design or with the first-generation platform that preceded 2005. Confirm your model year falls within the 2005 to 2015 window before ordering.

Double Cab Specific Fitment

Double Cab running boards are longer than Access Cab units and carry bracket positions calibrated to the Double Cab’s extended door configuration and longer wheelbase. This length and bracket difference is not a minor variance. Installing a Double Cab running board on an Access Cab truck consequently produces a visible length overhang and bracket position mismatch that cannot be resolved without sourcing the correct Access Cab specific unit.

Always confirm your cab style before ordering. Both the door jamb sticker and your VIN confirm cab style. Provide your VIN when you contact us and we verify Double Cab configuration before anything ships.

OEM Fitment Advantages

These OEM running boards came off second-generation Tacoma Double Cab trucks built to the same factory specifications as yours. The mounting bracket positions, board length, step pad placement, and board profile all reflect Toyota’s original engineering for the Double Cab configuration on this generation. As a result, they install at the factory mounting locations without modification and align correctly with the Double Cab rocker panel and door sill geometry.

Aftermarket black running boards for the second-generation Tacoma vary in mounting geometry accuracy, board thickness, step pad quality, and black finish durability. An OEM set from a verified second-generation Double Cab donor consequently provides the most reliable factory-correct fit and finish for this application.

We verify the donor vehicle cab style and model year against your VIN before these running boards ship. That step confirms Double Cab configuration, second-generation platform alignment, and component condition before anything leaves our warehouse.
