OK I thought you meant the other way. Yes we need a step for this case.
I’ve not designed the facia, its a styling thing. I’m the Engineer who wants the steps back and I’m trying to research how important a bumper step is.
Could you tell me if steps on the bumper and door steps are nearly always designed into most vehicles for this reason? obviously if the CAB is to high the steps are taken away as the person will be climbing to high and in danger
