I can’t step up three and a half feet, so I have to either crawl up or step up onto the back tire and climb over the wall. When I’m parked in my driveway, because of the angle of the driveway, I can make it so the tailgate is only about three feet off the ground, then I can step up, but that’s only if I’m parked at my house. And if I have the cover on my bed, then I actually do have to crawl all the way into the back, but then I wouldn’t be able to reach over the wall anyway, so that case doesn’t matter.
