I am tall and my wife is not. The adjustable pedals on our 2016 are used quite often.

 

I was looking at the 2019s and I don't see anywhere in the option packages to add power adjustable foot pedals. They are pretty much standard on many 2019 Dodge Rams trims. Did GM really leave off the power pedals or am I just going blind? I don't even see it on the high country trim?

Nope, they are gone, not available no matter how much you spend.
What the heck. Did anyone figure out why they would remove such a useful feature? I might have to buy a Dodge Ram now just for the pedals (which are recalled btw for the brake pedal falling off if you use it)

‘19 2500 is still the old body style though. Why they eliminated them on the T1 is beyond me. I’d have to assume it was some kind of cost cut.

The adjustable pedals was the only way I could talk my wife into the 16 I have now. No way she goes for a 19 without them. She puts the pedals all the way up then she can sit back from the steering wheel. I will have to fashion up some wood blocks for her feet?

I also found the pedals particularly useful when I wear my heavy hunting boots, just push the pedals back an inch or two. It is like a heated steering wheel, you never knew it was a feature you couldn't live without until you have it.

The steering wheel does telescope now, not just tilt.  It's not the same and won't help your boots but might help your wife.

The tilt AND telescoping steering wheel has been an option.

Or just buy her an assortment of Stilettos :D kind of a win-win...

My thinking is they got rid of adjustable pedals to save weight.  Same with automatic steering wheel adjustment.

The adjustable pedals in my K2 are not only a convenience, but an added safety feature of sorts.

Both my wife and I are under 6' tall and about 4" difference in height.

So, the 1 & 2 driver memory settings come in handy when we are able to custom tailor the pedal position to our liking.

The option to move the pedals toward the driver increases the distance from torso to steering wheel, which in turn is a safer driving experience.

GM axed this option for T1. Also, no turn signal indicators in the side mirrors which I have liked going back to GMT 800

They probably needed room for the auto stop/start disable button, so the adjustable pedal button got axed

Gotta pay for the autonomous and electric cars that are coming. Thus we get the cheap interior and loose many features that were available and standard  on the previous generation truck. Can’t believe how dumb GM thinks it’s customers are!

Get used to the idea of having your future Silverado or Sierra powered by an electric motor....    :loser:

At least in my life time I don't have to worry about them.  Just like what has been in the news. The cold weather really took a toll on them.  So until they can over come that, they will not be main stream for a while.  Not everyone has a heated garage to put one in.

      Can anyone decode a VIN to determine if this truck has had emissions issues or a recall?

      By newdude · Posted

      I see some red flags.   - No mention in the Carfax if the oil pump belt was changed.  LM2s had a 150,000mi service interval, and its got 164,245mi on it.  So right out the gate it needs about $3000-3500 for that to be done before driving it another 150,000mi.  Belt is at the rear of the engine.     - If something happens to the transmission valve body, the special coverage is expired by mileage.  That will likely be an out of pocket expense, with zero or near zero GM participation if something happened even though its in by time.   - 2020 LM2s seem to need timing chains after 80,000mi at some point.  They fixed this end of 2020/starting 2021 model year engines.  They will usually set a P0016 I think?  There is another $8000-10,000 if it needs a chain.  The main chain is at the back, secondary at the front so the pump belt would be done at the same time if it needed chains.     - Long oil change intervals.  7,000-8,000mi on average, probably close to 0% or perhaps to or beyond 0% on the OLM.  Lots of them not at the dealer which makes me wonder how much of the oil ran through that truck was the proper Dexos D rated 0w20 oil and not just gas engine 0w20, which is not the same at all.     - Long fuel filter changes, again likely taking the fuel filter life to 0% or more.  First one went 28,603, second was done 43,094 miles later at 71,697, from there another 46,452mi to 118,149mi, and then the most recent one 37,026mi later at 155,175mi.  So counting its original fuel filter, its had only 4 fuel filters on it.  No bueno IMO.         Good news?    - It has had only two warranty trips to the dealer.  The first free service (end of December 2020 on the Carfax), and the transmission reprogram recall (end of August 2025 on the Carfax).     - Truck did a LOT of moving, so that might explain the lack of emissions related repairs like bad NOX sensors, bad exhaust temp sensors, bad glow plugs, etc.         The "emissions system checked" could just be how something was flagged for Carfax.  GM dealers have to do SAVI reports for warranty repair orders so they scan the truck.  So its possible that is there for that?

      Thank you, @Z45!   NOTE - No all repair shop/Dealers reports to Carfax   That is my main concern.  The CARFAX looks way too clean for a 6 year old anything with 164,245 miles.  Even something known for reliability (like many Toyotas) typically has a lot more replaced, like a Nav screen, interior trim, shock/strut, or brake pads.  And surely the last set of tires (installed at ~58k miles) would be bald unless those were all highway miles.   I'm tempted to pay a local dealer to look up the VIN, but am not sure if that will be worthwhile.  Last time I did this, it was 100% useless, and I felt scammed - they noted the bumper was replaced years ago and that's it.  A 5-year old could spot the accident damage, even though nothing was on the CARFAX.   After giving the dealer a call, the truck may have a hard shift, but they have to verify with their mechanic if that's even a concern.  And I've test driven about a dozen of these now, many near Chicago, and half the trucks shift hard/odd at all throttle positions.  The ones with aftermarket lifts/larger tires shift terrible, and 3 stock trucks shifted so violently I thought the transmission valve body was going out.   At this point I'm conflicted, as I need a vehicle, and am coming up short locally.  Northern trucks in this price range tend to have either multiple owners, a lot of mods (lifts/oversized tires without re-gearing), and are generally in rougher shape.   If this truck showed up in your neighborhood for $27k and you had to purchase it sight-unseen, with the possibility of needing a 10L80 rebuild, torque converter, or rear end - would you do it?  I'm convinced most of the 10L80 trucks I test drove are broken, they can't all shift so bad, with massive flares/slipping/lurching and mis-matched downshifts like a teen driver learning stick.

      From the spy shots, the front end does look like it's borrowing some styling cues from the Canyon. I'm more interested in the powertrain news than the screens though. If the 3.0 diesel survives into the next generation, that alone will keep a lot of current owners interested.

      What is this tuner you mentioned that can shut the system off?

      I had it tested at the hardware store, and it showed no chip. He went out to started the truck today and it wouldnt fire. He waited an hour then tried again, and it started 3 times. In a row. My 2000 cavalier did not have a chip key, but still had a security system.  🤷‍♀️
