Getting too old to climb up into them?

The current trend is to lower the trucks, the old trend was to lift up the trucks.

I prefer to have the seat about butt height when I open the door. My wife is a little shorter then I am, the truck has running boards for her. When the seat is at chest height when the door is open, its just about as bad as having the seat at knee level when the door is open. I don't want to have to climb up to get in, and climb down to get out, any better then I want to bend way down to get in and then have to figure out a way to climb up to get out. The truck is suppose to work for me, not me work for a ride in it.

The new stuff is way too high, in my opinion.
