Fits the N180/N185 3rd generation. Does not fit 1990–1995 2nd gen trucks — that's a different platform entirely. Unsure? Email us before you order — we would rather answer a question than process a return.

Exact fitment for the 3rd gen Toyota 4Runner (1996–2001). Questions before you buy? Contact us. This part is final sale once shipped because fitment is vehicle-specific — details in our Return Policy.
Fitment, in plain terms
Fits 1996–2001 3rd gen 4Runners (N180/N185) only: it does not fit the 2002 model year, or 1990–1995 2nd gen trucks. The model year on your title or door jamb sticker settles which side of the line you're on.
What it does
It gives you a real way up to a roof rack loaded with gear — no more stepping on a tire with an armful of traction boards. Our rack guide's advice is to add a hatch ladder so you can actually reach what you carry.
Good to know
It pairs with our Full-Length Roof Rack, and with the Lockable Side Cargo Box, which shares the same 1996–2001 fitment. Our cargo storage guide notes the ladder-and-box approach keeps the rest of your cargo floor free for a cooler, a dog, or a full load of camping gear.

Questions before you buy
Will it fit my 2002 4Runner?
No. The Rear Hatch Ladder is 1996–2001 fitment only and does not fit the 2002 model year. If you are not sure which you have, check before you order; we are glad to confirm fitment first.
Can I add a drawer system later?
Yes. Our cargo storage guide says the ladder and a drawer system solve different problems — roof access versus full organized cargo and sleeping — and most owners can layer a drawer system in later without redoing the ladder or box.
What does shipping cost, and can I return it?
$49.99 flat-rate US shipping, tracked. The ladder mounts to a specific truck, and our Return Policy is plain: “Anything that mounts to a specific truck is final sale once shipped”. Email us before you order if you are unsure about your truck.
