I'm new to full size pickups, and hope someone has an answer for this question. Last week I bought a 2002 Super Crew King Ranch. It's in great shape, everything works well--even the 6 CD changer! I'm happy except for one issue.

I am very tall, and have very long legs. With the seat pushed fully to the rear, the pedals adjusted as far forward as possible, and the steering wheel / column pushed up as far as possible, my leg from knee to foot will not fit between the wheel and the set. To brake, I have to slide my foot in from the side, and it's a (scary) chore to keep my toes from sliding off the brake pedal.

The local dealer and custom shops all say, "Can't help you." I thought of perhaps a replacement steering wheel with a flat bottom, but they are all racing wheels and too small for normal driving. There is nothing in the manual to help, and I really need to find a way to get by this issue.

Has anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions what I might do?

Many thanks!

Adam

 

Hmm. Recommend removing driver seat and drive while sitting in rear seat. Sounds like you have the height to make it happen. I kid. I kid. What have you been driving before moving a large full size truck?

 

Welcome..

Not buying this thread. Happy the CD changer is working well? Umm, okay. Can’t fit in an F150? Maybe a Kenworth is better suited.

 

how tall are you? Did you test drive it?

im 6'3, my dad is 6'5 and we both have F150's, my brother is 6'8 and he fits just fine, do your knees bend?

 

I drove a 1992 S-Class Mercedes W140 body 300SD. No parts to be had anymore...

 

Maybe a Kenworth would be better. Not very handy, though.

 

A Kenworth or a Peterbilt has less legroom than an F-150.

 

That 6 disk changer won't work for long. They overheat.
