Frequently asked questions
Will Dakar side steps fit the Land Rover Freelander 2?
No. The Dakar side steps on the site are only for the Freelander I 1997–2006 (V2 version with LED); they do not fit the Freelander 2 or newer generations.
Can the side steps for the 2018–2024 Duster be installed on a Duster before 2018?
The Dakar side steps are listed only for the 2018–2024 Dacia and Renault Duster. There is no information on what modifications would be needed for the first generation, so compatibility with Dusters before 2018 is not confirmed.
Which side steps should I choose for a 2023 Volkswagen Amarok?
For the new-generation Amarok (2022+), the site has separate Dakar V1 and V2 kits, with and without LED. The side steps for the 2010–2022 Amarok are a different kit, so choose it only for vehicles from those years.
Are Dakar side steps suitable for a Toyota Hilux after the facelift?
The kits are listed for the 2015 Toyota Hilux and newer. The facelift does not change the mounting points, so the side steps also fit facelifted vehicles of this generation.
What is included in the kit, and do I need to buy anything else for installation?
The kit includes 2 side steps and a mounting kit, and the side steps are installed in the factory mounting points. In response to customer questions, managers confirm that the box contains everything needed for installation; for the LED version, connection to the onboard electrical system will also be required.
Can you stand on the power side steps?
Yes, Dakar side steps are metal steps designed to stand on when getting in. The allowable load is not specified on the product card; it is not recommended to use the step as a support point for a jack.
