I'm 5'2".
I have a stupid question. Does anyone have a hard time reaching the pedals comfortably? I was practicing driving yesterday and couldn't rest my feet on the floor while pressing gas/brake if that makes any sense. I had to hold my feet up to press the brake/gas. I had the seat pulled up as far as it would go. I had the seat raised a little so I could see over the steering wheel lol. I was still not sitting all the way back in the seat either because I couldn't reach. Any suggestions? Any products? It was very uncomfortable to drive that way. I was driving a Volvo in case that makes a difference. Thanks.

... 5ft - 1/2" .... I have to agree with Rebel ~ the shoulder straps always chock me in every truck or car I drive. :cry: ... I generally pull the shoulder strap down a bit and clamp it with the strap across my lap ... the clamp is easy enough to remove if I suddenly need to for the scales or DOT ... even if the truck has a slider to lower the shoulder strap ~ I have to lower my seat enough to reach the peddles. ... so the shoulder strap will never be low enough for me ... it's just a way of life, being short has never stopped me from doing anything I've wanted to .... :wink:

I drive a 379 Pete & have the same problem, if I put ANY air in the seat my feet bounce off the pedals, so what I found was unlock the rocker & put NO air in the seat, it helps save the back on rough roads. I don't worry about seeing OVER the steering wheel...I just pick a spot to look under it & above the dash! :lol::lol::lol:
I have seen trucks with the pedals blocked up for the drivers too. I don't have a problem at 6' tall.
