Rear Hatch Ladder Version 2.0 – 2010-2024 Toyota 4Runner (5th Gen)

Version 2.0! Westcott Designs 5th Gen (2010-2024) 4Runner rear hatch ladder 2.0! Construction is all aluminum to keep it light weight. The uprights are double layered and updated from the 1/4″ to 3/16″ aluminum to make them super rigid and dropping some weight in the process.  We also enlarged the cutouts in the side rails and top plate to lose some weight without compromising rigidity and stability. We realized with all the ladders on the market they just did not have large enough steps so we took it to the next level. We put in a 1”x 2” step to reassure a solid step ever time. Each step has tracks in it to allow for additional attachment points. This ladder is the most solid mounting ladder on the market!

Lead Time: Due to extremely high order volume during the Black Friday season, standard processing may take a little longer than usual, and our team is working hard to get everything shipped as quickly as possible.

Due to the increase in demand and our relentless pursuit of quality, lead times of many of our products may take more time than previously expected. Thank you for your understanding and we promise it will be worth the wait!

Description

Introducing the ALL-NEW Westcott Designs™ 5th Gen (2010-2024) 4Runner rear hatch ladder Version 2.0!!

 

What’s new on Version 2.0?

We’ve updated the design of the side rails and top bracket. This new design follows our latest ladder design language that you’ll see on the new GX550, Lc250 and the all-new 6th Gen 4Runner.  A functional change to the design was to find ways to lose some weight to help lighten the burden on your rear hatch struts. The factory struts can struggle under the weight, especially as they get older, so we worked on dropping weight to help with that issue.  The 5th Gen Ladder 2.0 has lost 6 lbs of weight and still is just as sturdy as the 1.0 version – a real feat in engineering!

 

Ladder Construction:

Both the 1.0 version and 2.0 ladders are constructed in all aluminum to keep it light weight. The uprights are double layered and the 2.0 Version has been updated from the 1/4″ aluminum to a 3/16″ aluminum – also helping cut down on weight, without compromising on strength. Version 1.0 comes in around 18 lbs. and the new ladder at just over 12 lbs.

Design Change:

You’ll find that we enlarged the cutouts in the side rails and top plate to lose some weight in version 2.0 without compromising rigidity and stability. Version 1.0 matches the same style as our 5th Gen 4Runner roof rack with the cut-outs in the side rails.  And, for both ladders, we realized all other ladders on the market just did not have large enough steps, so we took it to the next level. We put in a 1”x 2” step to reassure a solid step ever time. Each step has t-track slots in it to allow for additional attachment points. This ladder is the most solid mounting ladder on the market!

*Note; with the additional weight of our ladder, and depending on both how old your rear factory struts are and the climate you are in, we recommend upgrading your rear hatch struts to a pair of heavy-duty ones. We have had good luck with these ones linked here in addition to other offerings out on the market.*
