Location: defun,fl		Has anyone successfully towed a BP with a vehicle that is a little lower to the ground than most towing vehicles.  I just tested out a 2012 4x2 silverado.  It was nice for weekend towing, but think it will demand a little more climbing during the week than I would like.  It also doesn't have a "grab handle" inside the driver door.  I prefer not to be tugging on the steering wheel.  Any ideas? Thanx.

Location: western PA		We had the same issue entering our newest  SUV and truck. Running boards cured the problem.

Location: North Carolina		I installed step bars to my extended cab truck.  They extend the full length of the cab for the benefit of the back seat passengers.  If you don't like the length of a running board or step, consider just a step installed at the door.  Remember, a lower clearance vehicle will get hung up on rough back woods roads that horse riders seem to travel a lot.
