| Owners say | They praise how low the step drops compared with fixed boards and the Go Rhino E1 (two Tundra owners switched from the E1 for that reason), the short delay before it retracts and the lack of door magnets. Most complaints come at install time. | Owners on the Tundras.com forum, nearly all with 3rd gen Tundras, like the Go Rhino E1's build: they call the boards sturdy, wide and even, and owners who disliked the door magnets at first say they stopped noticing them. Nine owners name the E1 or Go Rhino power boards in their own posts. |
| Our verdict | The power step we would buy for a stock-height truck: the lowest first step in the class, with an install that rewards patience. | A sturdy power board that hides under the rocker, but owners measure a shallow drop; AMP or Rough Country step lower. |
