Default steering wheel

I think I already know the answer to this question....but is there any way at all to get this steering wheel (on my 2010 platinum) to telescope at all? I think I'm just picky about my driving position, but my arms aren't that long and I'm sick of fidgeting with it.

Oh! Good one! I'm with Kungfu on this one. It seems as tho more and more vehicles are built with a longer reach to the steering wheel relative to the reach to the pedals. I'm either to far from the steering wheel or to close to the pedals. Back in the 70's this was called the Italian driving position. I wonder if it has anything to do with the airbag?

lol, it was just the first thing that came to mind

I sat at the dealership for a few minutes before I ever drove my truck off the lot because I didn't like the way the seating felt when I first hopped in the truck

you'd be surprised just how much closer you'll be to the steering wheel if you move the back support of the seat up/forward just one click
