2023 Yukon SLT power running board question

[mike481]

I'm about to pull the trigger on a 23 Yukon diesel. My only question is the power running board height. I have a mother-in-law that will be traveling with us and I need to know the height of the power running board to be sure she will be able to get in without help. I see that the factory steps don't drop down very far when compared to after market ones like Amp Research.

If possible could anyone out there with factory power running boards measure the height from ground level for me? There aren't any Yukons in stock within 100 miles of me. I would love to get a measurement from anyone running after aftermarket power steps as well.

Thanks everybody

Mike

Are you ordering the air ride suspension? You may gain another inch or two when the vehicle is lowered.

FYI, I have air suspension, but the vehicle was not at entry-exit height when I measured it.

We carry a small plastic stool in my Yukon so mom (90+) can get in

Is the air suspension worth it? I ordered it for the 2" drop upon exit, 2" raise in 4L, 3/4" drop at hwy speeds to help with fuel economy and smother ride. Is it worth it, or is all that stuff ad hype?

Well, I tow, so it’s a must for me. The ride is really good.

That will eventually be what we have to do.

I probably will tow some, but not too much.
