OK, now you've got me interested, can you post a video?
And yes, the littles and Wifes *do* appreciate lower/wider steps to get in

Here you go. Hard to record, open the door, and see the whole board move, but I can try to get a better one this evening:

Wait, what?! it's hinged horizontally? so the step height doesn't change? Wow, never seen that before, i think camera on the ground would capture it well.

Those look and function just like the ones that came factory on my '09 Expedition EL Limited (the loaded options trim, but with "That" engine), except they're painted to match the vehicle. Quick tip, be sure to coat those hinge pins with fluid film and you'll never have a problem with then operating.

Keep your eyes moving to the right to the arrow/chevron - remember this was when fuel was really cheap everywhere, over a year ago.

Full tank of E85 today for me. $3.39 a gallon. For comparison, regular 87 octane was $5.55 a gallon.
