Just look at that. This truck is taller than a used kid (10 years old). I assume the truck can run over pretty much any other age but probably the driver might be able to see older kid’s heads. Or we could teach our kids to jump to school rather than walk. If you see a truck, jump and make eye contact before jumping while crossing the street. Or we could tell our kids to never go outside until they are 21.

    Why do you need a special step so that your “standard size girlfriend” get get in?

      Believe it or not, it came from the factory with a lower step. This one was added after the fact for appearance but is about three inches higher. It was actually her idea. She hated the look of the original and I agreed.

        My point wasn’t that it was aftermarket, but rather that you need a step to get into it. Can she get in without it?

          I’d say no or not easily. As you can see from the photo, she’s just about at her maximum reach to the step.
