I would buy her a diamond encrusted step stool, roses, and a fifth of Jack Black. "Honey we're goin parking with the top off and music up"!

Just get the steps that the SEMA Bronco has.

Thats the route I intend to take. But I may need to go with the step stool for the wife until I put on the steps.

For the entertainment factor: Wait and act just as surprised as she is. Put your hand on your hip and make a fist with the other, shaking it at the sky.
Muster up a tear for good measure and shake your fist violently while sinking to your knees.
Make sure and scream really loudly "WHY!!!?? FORD, WHYYY??!! You shifty Bastards!!!!!"

Or if not, at least wait until after the cutoff to make changes to approach the subject in a totally adult and meaningful, heartfelt way. That way it can't be changed and you have to look at alternative measures to enter the vehicle.

Personal trainer= pool boy.
He might be the one getting a base on the small wheels and tires.
You'll be left alone watching the non-sig taillights fade in the dust.

Thanks for the laugh. Just what I needed. As for a possible solution, check out rock slide engineering. Rock sliders with a built in power step. Not cheap, but appears to solve both issues.

I ordered a Badlands with Sasquatch. And while I know it will never actually be built and delivered, I need some help from all of you as to the appropriate disclosures based on the following facts: (1) My wife is 5' 2'' tall; (2) Badlands has rock rails so that it cannot be fitted with a step.

The issue is this: when should I start prepping my wife about the potential need for a step stool to get in the Bronco? Do I wait and act confused by its height? Do I blame ford and claim its related to the slow rollout of the modular roof? Do I show her a nice set of step-stools that match Area 51? Do I get her a personal trainer to work on her vertical leap? Hmmm. Not sure how to play this. Or, do I come clean today about the potential issue?
Dang, son. I'm hoping this is tongue in cheek because if not, y'all need to go to see Niles Crane.

My wife is also 5'2 and I decided not to have her order a Sasquatch BL for MY21, knowing she uses her easy access air suspension setup in her Grand Cherokee as it is and I see how high it is for her to get into my truck or jeep. We also have a MY22 order, so maybe she'll want the Sasquatch for that one. But I know the 33s in non-SQ will be 98% just as capable of the SQ when we're offroading.

This is an "Unexpected musical reference" but I'm not going to post it because I don't want to get in trouble. But here's the search criteria "LMFAO Sexy and I Know It official video". 👽. It's safe for work and all but the costumes????

You've been warned. 😈

While I like the idea of the automatic steps that drop down, that's a bit pricy (and gimmicky) for my taste. I hope we'll see some steps that can be added to the BL 'sliders' and taken off easy for wheeling (like the above mentioned Sema) or I'll eventually replace the stock with some that are just a bit wider and work as a step too.
I'm 6'3'' but not 16 anymore (even though I pretend at times) and a step will be nice for me as well. I have them on my 18 year old Taco TRD Off Road, which sits quite a bit lower than my 'squatch will, I'll add something.

How about this: help her up into the truck and when she is looking for help getting out again get on your knees and say something like "You're so beautiful and loving that I need to present you this ring and ask you to marry me again".

by the way, did anybody measure how high above ground the seat is in a sashquatch BL? I don't think I've seen that yet.

Lol this is easy!!! You just sweetly tell her there are even more vertically challenged individuals getting Broncos!!! Lol. I ordered a 2 door Badlands 2.7 Lux ....I’m coming in at a whopping 4’11” on a good day!!! This vehicle is worth the challenges I will face!!! Lol. It’s my daily driver. I’m a tiny human!!! If I can do it ..she certainly can get in!!!! And my husband just got a 2021 F250!!!

4 pages in and no one has given you the correct answer...

Tell her you really like her butt and you wanted more opportunity to touch it so you'll be boosting her in.

Isn’t it better to not say anything so you can grab her inappropriately to help her get in? Asking for a friend...
