The JGC we just bought seems to have a higher step in height than the Kia Sorento it is replacing. We had side steps on the Kia but found that they were of minimal use since it was almost as easy to step in directly from road level. I think part of that was the step being mounted right at the bottom of the rocker panel so it wasn't far below the interior floor.
That being said... can anyone offer impressions of side steps/running boards for the Jeep? Do they offer much of an advantage for a short person or children to get in?
I have been considering spending the extra and getting motorized steps because they are lower when deployed and may offer more of an intermediate step height when getting in. From what I've seen of people using them in Lincolns and such, it seems like a natural motion to step on the deployed running board and up into the vehicle.
Any comments and suggestions appreciated.
