I'm with you H2XOR. I don't need the steps. I'm 6' 1" and when I test drove I unconsciously stepped over the tubular step to get in and out and didn't use it. Only problem is that girls need it especially when their dressed up, so that's really why I'm probably going to get the u-steps. Look at Mac for example, he's a girl, so he made it a point to get the tubular steps. Sorry Mac, I just couldn't resist!
