| Owners say | 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. | Five report sets still working after a year or more, the longest a little over two years and another at 25,000 miles, and three describe winters with salt or snow without trouble. The complaints are about the install: three call the instructions poor or generic, three ran short of trigger or power wire, and two fought the driver-side alignment. |
| Our verdict | A sturdy power board that hides under the rocker, but owners measure a shallow drop; AMP or Rough Country step lower. | The power step we would buy on a budget; the install takes patience and the record is shorter than AMP. |
