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.

      This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By UrbanRage · Posted

      I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.
