ShamrockShooter Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 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? Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
OnTheReel Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 Nope, they are gone, not available no matter how much you spend.

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)Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
Sparky2 Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 We just bought a 2019 2500HD LTZ and it has them
OnTheReel Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 ‘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. 1
ShamrockShooter Posted February 7, 2019 Author Posted February 7, 2019 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.Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Black02Silverado Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 My thinking is they got rid of adjustable pedals to save weight. Same with automatic steering wheel adjustment.
Sierra Dan Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 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
ShamrockShooter Posted February 7, 2019 Author Posted February 7, 2019 They probably needed room for the auto stop/start disable button, so the adjustable pedal button got axedSent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk 1
Sierradude Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 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!

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.
