Question to those that want Running Board. Why? Ground clearance changes and can be as low as 8~9" so no issue getting in or out. Is it for looks??
The very young, the very old, and mid-aged people who are not mountain climbers.

8 - 9 in of ground clearance may be low if you are used to driving a monster truck but it is plenty high to warrant running boards.

The ground clearance on my Suburban is 9 in. I'm reasonably fit and not too old, and I can't imagine not having running boards on it. While I could get in without the running boards it would not be pleasant. But there's absolutely no way my children or my parents could get in without the running boards.

A secondary charging socket behind a door in the bed of the truck. Not for HVDC charging, only 10 kw or so. Able to charge while moving.
Useful for:
Pulling a trailer with solar panels on the roof.
Running a small generator in the bed to extend between charge times while in the middle of nowhere.
Leaving a solar panel connected all the time in the bed of the truck.

Kneel mode will help alot.
Is Kneel mode activated automatically every time the vehicle is put into park? And will it complete the rising/lowering within the few seconds that it takes to seat belt and open/close door?

If you have to manually engage the setting and then wait 60 seconds for it to air up/down I do not see how it would help at all with the daily climbing in/out of the vehicle.

Solar panel plug in is a cool idea i know there is a lot of talk on here about how negligible that may be but i think long camp trips in the dessert it would be cool.
