Product Questions & Answers
Customer Guides
Since its debut in 1998, the Toyota Tundra has been out to make history. It is the first and only full-size pickup truck that is built by the Japanese automaker in American soil. Its design was meant to capture the North American market that has always been obsessed with trucks that can be used as reliable workhorses.
While pickup trucks are known for their utility and durability, they far from indestructible. One part that may require repairs and replacement over time is the Toyota Tundra step bumper.
Signs a Toyota Tundra step bumper needs to be replaced
As an external component of your vehicle, you may check your truck’s bumper step for any of the following issues.
Rust buildup
Rust and corrosion of metal components can compromise the integrity of your rear bumper. If left unaddressed, damage may spread to other parts of your vehicle such as the tailgate and the truck bed. To prevent costly repairs down the road, replacing damaged step bumpers is recommended.
Damage due to collisions
Even a low-speed collision can affect your rear bumper’s ability to absorb impact in a subsequent crash. To ensure that it is crash-worthy, have your step bumper checked by a trusted mechanic after any road accident that involves the bumper.
Recall information for Toyota Tundra rear bumpers
If you have purchased or are considering getting a second-hand Tundra, it’s important to know which parts have been previously recalled to ensure that the part has been replaced. There has previously been a recall due to the Tundra’s step bumper.
Recall Number: 17V051000
Recall Date: 01/24/2017
There was a recall for 2016 and 2017 Toyota Tundra pickup trucks over concerns about their resin step bumpers. This material may not appear damaged, even after a collision, making it possible for truck owners to overlook the damage.
At the same time, the compromised Toyota Tundra bumper step also increases the risk of injury if the part suddenly breaks off while a person is standing on it or while loading cargo.
Why is replacing a faulty step bumper necessary?
Here are some of the reasons why you should always replace a damaged step bumper immediately.
Ease of access to the truck bed
A functional step bumper makes it easy and safe to access your truck bed and load cargo to the back of your truck.
Protection from low-speed collisions
The rear bumper is a safety component that is meant to absorb impact from rear collisions and redirect the force away from the cab. Maintaining the integrity of this part is critical to keeping you and your passengers safe on the road.
Update the look of your truck
The bumpers of a truck are some of the parts that get the most beating from daily use. Loading heavy tools and cargo regularly can make your rear bumpers ware out faster. Dings and dents are to be expected from fender benders and parking accidents. Getting a replacement step bumper can help you update the look of your truck and protect its resale value.
Finding the right fit
There have been two generations of the Toyota Tundra, each with parts that differ in size and fit. Make your search for a Toyota Tundra replacement bumper easier by using our website’s search filter. Simply plug in your vehicle’s year, make, and model to narrow down your search and browse applicable parts.
How long will it take for a DIYer to replace a Toyota Tundra step bumper?
Restoring the step bumper of a Toyota Tundra requires not much effort; a DIYer can pull this off in less than an hour, provided that he/she has an assistant. The step bumper is made from heavy-duty steel, and it sure is heavy. Since most aftermarket step bumpers for Tundras are already primered, they are ready for installation.
How much would an aftermarket steel step bumper cost for a Toyota Tundra model? Is it worth it?
The price of an OE replacement step bumper for a Tundra truck ranges from $250 to $500. Generally, this part comes with a one-year, unlimited mileage warranty.
Is steel the best type of material for a Toyota Tundra step bumper?
Yes. A step bumper made from stainless steel is durable enough to withstand minor rear-end collision impacts or heavy-weight load. It is also rust-proof and easy to clean. It comes in chrome, primered, or black finish that can best suit any Tundra. There are, however, aluminum step bumpers that are cheaper and lighter than steel, but steel is the most commonly used aftermarket step bumper replacement.
What are the consequences of driving a Toyota Tundra with a wrecked step bumper? Is it advisable to just remove it?
If the step bumper of the Tundra is no longer stable, it is best to replace it with an aftermarket part. Driving with a wrecked step bumper can be dangerous, in case it falls and other vehicles drive on it. The worst case scenario is when the Tundra happens to be involved in a rear-end collision, and there is nothing to protect the rear from the impact. It is not also pleasing to the eyes to see a Tundra truck with a wrecked or no step bumper installed on its rear.
