RE: [RC] chick trucks- a special challenge some chicks face - Tracey SmithI actually have running boards, the nice wide kind made of that diamond plate material...with out them I'd be TOTALLY lost getting in and out in a suit.

My current truck came with them and I love it! Actually, it's a sturdy pipe kind of thing, not a "board." It sure makes getting up and in a breeze. That reminds me of another reasons I love my GM trucks: they aren't raised up to the sky. My 4WD is only high enough for good clearance; it doesn't look like some hot rodder's cloud banger.

My truck is also my vehicle I drive to and from work...and the biggest challenge I have faced with it so far is trying to discreetly climb up into my truck in a suit with a slim skirt......and my co-workers wonder why I wear pants most of the time....well DUH!!! If I do wear a skirt for some stupid reason (usually because all my other work clothes are at the cleaners) I try and park in a "not-so-visible" spot so that if I am less than graceful in my entrance or exit no one has to know! And my F350 is not even a 4X4...it just sits up high....I can't imagine what I will do if we get a 4X4!

Many trucks now offer pedals that actually move and adjust too, along with 6 way etc. adjustable seats. If one is not comfortable with shifting, reaching the pedals or what ever, then it could be a hazard I guess. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
