Did it ever occur to you to simply step on the tire and either reach over, or to get in throw your leg over? I don't need those steps, I need my bed space.

Saw one today
Saw a spankin' new '04 Flareside today, silver. Went past me when I was taking a walk. Looked weird to me, especially the view from the rear. Didn't look GOOD to me, just weirdly different.
To be fair, when I first saw the '97 F-150, the smooth lines up front around the cab looked weird to me then.
I just can't see getting all that excited about the '04 flareside styling. Reminds me more of that bizarre Avalanche than anything else. Maybe people like that look.
Saw a new Hummer yesterday, now THAT"s really dumb IMHO. The new version is domesticated from the original, lower stance, nice paint, phony light and grill guards, luggage racks(!) etc. Why would you shell out the big $ for that type of a rugged vehicle that's been denatured so it ain't really rugged? Here in tinsel town north (Santa Barbara) it's all about image, that's clear to see.
