Back when I had my '02, I didn't have a problem getting in/out, but my shorter friends (and my Mom) did.

I went down to the Dollar Store and bought a plastic step stool.

Seriously.

I drilled a hole in the middle of it to fasten some string to be able to 'pick it up' while sitting in the truck.

My friends teased me that I should have patented it and made millions.

Only time it wasn't very good was on soft/loose dirt or if passenger was over 300lbs.

I got rid of the truck but still have the stool, wanna buy it?
