Toyota offering 5th Gen Rock Sliders....

Not sure if this is new for 2021, has anyone purchased or seen in person the Genuine Toyota Rock Sliders?

Thank you!
Matt

 

What site are you finding that?

 

They don't look exactly like the ones pictures above, but if you go to the Toyota website and build a 4Runner these rails are listed under accessories. The fine print says they are only available in the Gulf States Region though, at least on a new vehicle from the dealer.

I like the compact design. May be good for someone who wants some protection but doesn't need a full blown rock rail. Interested to know how they attach.

 

Yes. Listed under options when you build a truck on the Toyota site.

Different name and price though then the ones listed for the gulf states.

I contacted a local dealers parts department in Pennsylvania. I’ll see what they say.

 

sucks that they only go back to MY 15. would be a nice alternative.

 

That’s cool. 77lbs and steel. Definitely count as sliders

 

Depends on how they mount. But interesting.

 

Gulf States Toyota is notorious for tacking stuff on without asking and then charging you for it. In this case, I imagine it's a "port installed accessory" so it's not really Toyota, but distributed by GST and advertised as Toyota. It's just a 3rd party they made a deal with in order to sell it when you purchase a vehicle.

If you can find out who's making it, they might offer it cheaper if you buy it direct. Unless GST does it's typical crap of making sure they are the sole distributor so they can monopolize the price.

 

On the OEM Toyota website for 2021 4Runners, there they are ==> https://www.toyota.com/4runner/accessories/exterior
Anyone have a part #?

 

Emailed two dealer parts departments, no response yet from either.

 

I ordered a set from EB Toyota parts, they haven’t shipped yet but I’ll let you guys know how they fit and look.

 

Do you have a part#?

 

@M4dm4x - Thanks a bunch for the P/Ns. What vehicle are you going to install these on?

I found that https://www.oemgenuineparts.com/ prices are a couple of dollars more per side, but I can save over $50 on shipping to MN compared to EB Toyota. I'll also see what my local dealers would sell them for.

 

I have a 15 pro and the guy I spoke to said they should fit fine, I did give them my vin # also.

 

Thanks!

 

That’s one expensive bulb

 

Thanks for the part numbers!

My parts guy said he thought that they mount to the body. No good

 

Pretty excited to see how these things mount to the truck!

 

Same here!

 

Interesting. Thank you!

 

Thanks! Please keep us updated.

 

Looking at those mounts I would absolutely not expect them to hold up to much off-roading.

 

Yup, basically a step that looks like a slider. Good for stopping some door dings and loose shopping carts

 

That, and if the tubing is open on each end like shown in a couple photos, they'd likely collect mud and such inside over time. Could be a recipe for serious rust issues.

 

i had the same thought. while i dont think ill be doing much rock crawling, these are a nice cheaper option hopefully. i would definitely figure out a way to seal those ends, though.

 

I'm having a hard time envisioning how these mount.

 

They look like they attach to the side of the frame using existing holes. Looking at the mounts and the metal, I wouldn’t slide them over more than grass
