2024-2026 Toyota Tacoma Electric Power Running Boards Side Steps OEM | McClain Auto Part
Product Overview
This is a genuine OEM electric power running board set for the 2024 to 2026 Toyota Tacoma, sold as a pair of two boards covering both the driver and passenger sides. These are the factory-installed power retractable side steps that automatically extend when a door opens and retract when the door closes, providing convenient cab entry and exit without the fixed profile of standard running boards.
Power retractable running boards on the fourth-generation Tacoma represent a meaningful upgrade in convenience and off-road clearance over fixed running boards. When retracted, they tuck up against the rocker panel and eliminate the ground clearance compromise that fixed running boards create during off-road use. When extended, they provide a solid and well-positioned step surface for cab entry and exit on a truck that sits considerably higher than a standard passenger vehicle.
The fourth-generation Tacoma launched for 2024 with a comprehensive redesign that introduced new running board mounting architecture, updated door signal integration, and a new power step motor and actuator system that does not interchange with any prior Tacoma generation. These power running boards are consequently specific to the fourth-generation platform and require generation confirmation before ordering.
This set was removed from a donor fourth-generation Tacoma and our team inspected both boards 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.

How Fourth-Generation Tacoma Power Running Boards Work
The electric power running boards on the fourth-generation Tacoma operate through an integrated door signal system. When any door opens, the running board motor activates and extends the step board outward and downward to the deployed position. When the door closes, the motor retracts the board back up against the rocker panel to the stored position.
This door-activated operation relies on communication between the door signal system and the running board motor control module. As a result, installing these running boards on a truck originally equipped with factory power running boards produces a plug-and-play integration with the existing door signal wiring. Installing them on a truck not originally equipped with power running boards requires additional wiring and module integration work beyond a direct bolt-on installation.
Provide your VIN before ordering and we confirm whether your specific Tacoma came from the factory with power running boards and the correct wiring infrastructure for these boards to operate correctly on your truck.
Fourth-Generation Tacoma Platform
The 2024 Toyota Tacoma launched the fourth generation with one of the most comprehensive redesigns in the nameplate’s history. The new platform introduced a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, an available hybrid powertrain, new frame architecture, and completely updated exterior components including a new running board mounting and electrical system.
The fourth-generation power running board system consequently does not interchange with the prior third-generation 2016 to 2023 platform or with any earlier Tacoma generation. The motor configuration, actuator design, mounting bracket positions, and door signal integration are all specific to the fourth-generation architecture. Confirming your Tacoma is a 2024 or newer fourth-generation truck before ordering is therefore the most critical fitment step for this application.
The 2025 and 2026 model years continue the fourth-generation platform. As with any listing that includes future model years, confirming current production specifications against your VIN before ordering ensures this specific set applies to your truck’s production year configuration.
Cab Style Considerations
Running board length and bracket positioning on the fourth-generation Tacoma vary between cab configurations. The Access Cab and Double Cab carry different door configurations and wheelbase dimensions that affect running board length and mounting bracket positions. Power running boards sourced from a Double Cab donor consequently may not align correctly on an Access Cab truck and vice versa.
Contact us with your specific cab style when you reach out about this listing. Provide your VIN and we confirm the correct cab style alignment between this donor set and your specific Tacoma before ordering.
Motor and Actuator Assembly
The motor and actuator assembly is the mechanical heart of the power running board system. Each board carries its own motor and actuator that drives the extension and retraction cycle on door signal activation. The motors and actuators were assessed during our pre-listing inspection for physical condition, housing integrity, and operational status.
Contact us before ordering for specific motor and actuator condition details and photos. We provide close-up images of the motor housing, actuator arm, and any notable condition areas before purchase.
Wiring and Electrical Integration
Power running boards require correct wiring integration to operate as designed. The wiring harness condition from the donor vehicle was assessed during our pre-listing inspection. Contact us before ordering for specific wiring harness condition details and connector configuration information.
If your Tacoma originally came equipped with factory power running boards, the existing door signal wiring and running board control module in your truck provide the infrastructure for these boards to integrate correctly. Provide your VIN and we confirm factory power running board equipment on your specific truck before ordering.
Step Pad Condition
The step pad surfaces on both boards were assessed during inspection for surface wear, cracking, and damage consistent with regular use. Step pad condition on a used power running board reflects foot traffic use from the donor vehicle’s service history.
Contact us before ordering for photos of the step pad surfaces on both boards. We provide close-up images of the step pad condition on the driver side and passenger side boards before purchase so you can evaluate wear against your expectations.
OEM Fitment Advantages
These OEM power running boards came off a fourth-generation Tacoma built to the same factory specifications as yours. The mounting bracket positions, motor and actuator geometry, door signal connector locations, and board profile all reflect Toyota’s original engineering for the power running board system on this platform. As a result, they install at the factory mounting locations without modification on correctly equipped trucks and integrate with the factory door signal system without additional wiring work.
Aftermarket power running board systems for the fourth-generation Tacoma vary in motor quality, actuator durability, door signal integration accuracy, and step deployment timing. An OEM set from a verified fourth-generation donor consequently provides the most reliable factory-correct operation and fitment result for this application.
We verify the donor vehicle configuration against your VIN before this set ships. That step confirms fourth-generation platform alignment, cab style compatibility, power running board wiring infrastructure, and component inventory before anything leaves our warehouse.
