I'm 5'3"....got the 2020 Limited with MFT and Ramboxes since I can't reach over into the bed and not having to reach across the open tailgate gives me tons better access to the bed. That said - I didn't realize how much I'd LOVE the power running boards, too. With the running boards combined with Entry/Exit mode, I don't CLIMB into my truck, I step into it. They feel super secure. My only complaint is that I have to powerwash them and they get dirty looking fast. I like that they stow away, so I'm not banging into them. Sorry you're not happy with them.
