Default 2018 Light Switch: Ouch!

My only complaint (so far) on my 2018 XL is the position of the head light ****. I keep banging my kneecap on it as I exit the cab.

That's funny because I bang my knee on it when I get in. It friggin hurts!
I haven't banged my knee getting out yet...I don't think...maybe I just don't remember.
2 years and by now you'd figure I would remember it's there. But no, I just keep smashing my knee on it.

It's an awful place to put the headlight switch! Several times now I've actually turned the headlight switch on by bumping it with my kneecap...one time I didn't realize I'd done that and came back to the parking lot after 14 hours at work and found my battery totally dead!

How the hell do you do it? I'm 6'1 and have never hit my knee against it.

Sounds like you need to move the seat back some and move the pedals closer to the driver seat. I'm 6'1" also and never hit my knee.

I agree, I'm 6'2, and never come close. But then again, I have power memory seats and the seat goes back when I shut it off, so maybe that is part of the reason?
