sidestep/running board options?
My wife is a little on the short side, and if the GL had a side step or running board (I think that's what its called) it'd make it easier for her to get in and out.

What options are available besides the blingy blingy one from the dealer?

Thanks

The PE running boards are excellent. I don't get any complaints from my kids anymore getting in and out.

Do you know the order code for the PE boards? I am trying to determine what specifically the factory installed option is.

I think you can purchase it at your local dealer now. Some members in here purchased it locally at their US dealer. Part #: B 6 6 88 0630
