HA! Ever watched the vertically challenged struggle to climb in and out of their enormous Pickups and SUVs?

Listen to the pansies. When asked they say it's all about sitting up high, probably because in their non-vehicle experience all they see is knees and shins.

I distinctly remember the first time I saw motorized retractable running boards on a pickup. It was hard to contain my laughter and astonishment because I am holding out for a retractable escalator option, with driver's seat that goes down to ground level so I don't suffer all the exertion of seating myself at altitude.
