Running boards will be more popular on SAWD for this reason
Agree. I was thinking of getting some but I do remember with my Gladiator I had some and it felt more awkward getting in/out if you didnt use the steps. Might hold off until I see how it feels.

Same. When I had an overnight demo of a PAWD I turned off "entry mode" and set the height to medium just to get a sense of what it was like getting in and out. While much easier when lower, not a show stopper by any means.

Off the subject comment.

I'm glad I retired last month. I probably would have been fired for not getting my projects done as much as I've been attached to this forum lately! :p
Tell me about it. I was playing catch up all day for the AI sh!t I was doing last week. 😂😂

I did the same thing with my FS AWD. I usually have it low and on entry. I set it to medium. Definitely higher and a little more work getting in and out.

If I recall correctly, the PAWD entry level air suspension height is 8 inches. The fixed spring SAWD is 10 inches. Side steps may be needed.

Aligned I’ve had several lifted Wranglers, there is a certain height that requires them under that height it’s very awkward having them. I’m waiting to see.

5ft Female here. Test drove cybertruck and got in and out a couple of times. dont remember the height being too crazy. Will see once I get it if the side steps would be necessary for ease

NO Off Road Modes?? Does that mean no front/rear lockers??

I don't see how air suspension is required the following offroad modes:
- Overland Mode: Tailored for low-speed technical driving.
- Terrain specific modes: Sand, Gravel, Rock. Even my Daughter's Jeep Renegade has this.
- Braking Options. Hold and Roll => My Tesla M3 has this.
Baja Mode:
- Adjustable power distribution: Change the power distribution between Front/Rear
Trail Assist:
- Low speed cruise control with hill ascent/descent

I get that Extract Mode and Wade Mode are out as they require ride height adjustments.

But I would expect lockers, Overland, Terrain Specific, and some of the Baja modes as a fixed ride height should be fine for these modes.
