Unless you are over 50, you wont get why anyone would worry about. After 50, even for someone like me who works out plays singles tennis 5 days a week, it is kind of a pain in the butt. My wife at 5'3" will need a boost to get in. lol.
Ever wear a dress to work?

My better half is 6' 1" and all legs. I'm the one that's going to be struggling at 5' 9" with short limbs. Could be worse, though.

I lowered a Miata 1.25", so I'm pretty used to terrible ingress/egress.
A lowered Miata? That’s an Olympic luge sled, with a motor!

Relevant topic for me. One of the reasons am waiting for test drive availability at the dealerships.
Climb in difficulty,
seating position with manual seats
plus general feature combinations available... ..

72 years old, 5'7", bad back.
Just sold my lowered Miata due to back problems and hoping for the Bronco as the replacement toy.

Power Steps. Probably my first DIY mod.
Me too. Yes I could pull my self up in at 6'2". But why? And my wife and daughter will need a step stool so just gonna go powersteps, lose less clearance then the regular steps.

Just measured the door sill height on my JKU that rides on 35's. 28-1/4". My wife, who is 5'-3", drives it all the time (by choice) and has no problem getting in or out. The youngest has been climbing in an out of the back since he was five but he is a little spider monkey who was climbing out of his crib before he could walk.

All that said, power steps/rock rails are in the near future for my Bronco.

I assume you'd have to buy the steps separately. Then remove rails and install. Put them back in if you're going rock crawling.
