Fold In Side-Step For Disabled Passenger - Can You Get One ?

[Surrey Scientist]

Hi All,

I am considering buying a Landcruiser as it is a vehicle that meats most of my needs the best, however I sometimes need to take my disabled mother with me.

She has had a knee and hip replacement on the same side, neither of which function that well, and is also quite overweight.

I have seen that you normally get side-steps on these vehicles I am wondering if one can get a fold-down extra low step like I have seen some motorhomes have that would improve the accessibility ?

I dont particualrly want to buy one of these and find I have difficulty getting her in the vehicle. Are there any other extra accessories that might help that you can buy..?

I have been looking at Colorados or possibly an earlier 80 series.

My sister used to have a Colorado so I know what great vehicles they are.... its just this issue thats stopping me plnging in and getting one.

Cheers

David

The only fold up steps I've come across are for Landrover Defenders (and designed for access from the rear).
