2024 Tacoma sport has issues with front tire mud flap! My black Sport has debris (stone) damage to the rear quarter panel.

My new Black Tacoma sport with only 5000 miles on it has stone damage to the rear quarter panel - about 25 chips on both sides.

Yes it is a known problem. That ridiculous factory "mud flap" offers virtually no protection. I fixed the problem with a set of Rokblokz rally mud flaps and the HD2 running boards from rough country.

I PPF'd the front-facing surface of the rear fenders.

I really like those RC running boards.

The 4th Gen OEM splash guards have definitely shrunk from the Gen 3.

Yeah - that is a good choice. The tires on my Pro are only about 1/2 covered by the factory flaps.

I am adding RCI sliders, which will provide some protection and also getting PPF on the rear fenders. If that is not enough I will get better flaps like @ridetime has.

PPF the front and rear fenders. If you zoom in on rear you can see the film line behind the gas fill door.

Where did you get that step board? My Sport Taco came with Predator steps and I want to replace them.

They are the HD2 steps from Rough Country ordered directly from them.

I second the idea of adding PPF to that rear area. I ordered some clear 3M from Amazon, a small squeegee and an exacto knife. Measure, cut, spray a water/soap mixture and apply. Took me about 3-4 tries for each side but it turned out great & only cost me like $30. It’s pretty dang invisible so even if your cut is wonky nobody will see it. Just don’t get blue fuzz stuck under it from a blue microfiber cloth like I did a couple times…. Wanted to burn that towel…

Do you have a link for the 3M?

Sure, this is the one someone else recommended and it worked great.
