I saw a truck step on one of the "truck" programs on TV this past weekend. 
It was a unit that folds up completely under the cab, out of sight and drops 
down when the door is opened.  It was slick.  Kind of like the running 
boards on  Lincoln Navigators but not as thick and completely disapeared 
when the door was shut.  Unfortunately I don't remember the name.
