These aftermarket accessories serve as steps positioned beneath the doors of the specified sport utility vehicle. They facilitate easier entry and exit, particularly for individuals with limited mobility or shorter stature. They typically attach to the vehicle’s frame and span the length of the door openings.
These additions offer a practical solution for enhancing vehicle accessibility and protection. They can mitigate the risk of slipping when entering or exiting the vehicle, especially in inclement weather. Furthermore, they provide a barrier against debris kicked up by the tires, helping to protect the vehicle’s paint and body from damage. Historically, similar devices have been used on larger vehicles to improve usability and maintain a clean interior.
