Any way possible to adjust pedals?

[FailSafe]

Yeah I just called the dealer I bought the truck from and they said that they would not be able to modify the pedal height.....

[FailSafe]

I called GMC directly and they said that the mismatched height in the pedals was a "Safety Feature" that was engineered into the vehicle. Also no dealerships in my area would be willing to modify the height because it would invalidate the warranty. If I got aftermarket pedals that would also void the warrantee.

I don't think that's accurate, but I'm not a lawyer. However, I'd definitely fight it in court if it came down to it because I could see the opposite side. That because the pedals were offset so much it made it more difficult to brake since I have to readjust my foot and then brake. That's an increase in response time which could be critical in avoiding an accident.

 

Anyways, it appears Jeeps have this issue too. I saw these on Amazon and a lot of the reviews echo our complaints as well.

This was really bugging me, so I went out and measured all three of my vehicles. Basically, the positioning (in respect to each other) of the brake and gas petals were the exact same. I even went as far as measuring the height difference and on all three vehicles the brake petal is 2 1/2" higher than the gas pedal. All three vehicles are made by different manufacturers. 

 

I have never noticed a difference in any vehicle that I have ever driven. I would think this would be a standard for safety reason, but who knows?

 

Maybe the distance you are seated from the pedals is affecting you more than the difference in distance between the brake and gas pedals? Perhaps you are seated either closer or further away from the pedals and that is what is affecting you?

I agree with the OP,  he’s not crazy...
 

2020 Silverado RST and the pedals are way too far out of plane. Much different than my 2019 Tahoe RST.

 

I’m cutting and welding...and I could give two ****** on anyone’s opinion of that...

If you do it, please post back on how you get the brake pedal off. I’ve considered this myself.

I also agree with OP. I initially thought it was me. I’m really uncomfortable with the height difference between the pedals.

I need a picture as I have a 2012....

I don’t like the new gas pedal shape and position.  It’s too small and too far away from the trans tunnel.  I wear size 11 shoes and my foot can slide off the right side of the gas pedal.  On my ‘15 and ‘18 I could rest my foot against the trans tunnel and on the gas pedal.

Maybe I’m wrong but, is there a height adjustment rod for the brake pedal? Older cars had em, not sure if they’ve gone away.

It's funny, at first I hated it and I was seriously contemplating getting the blocks I linked to above. But after owning the truck for 3 months now and almost daily driving it, I've gotten quite used to it. I wear size 13 shoes FWIW.

 

And a little off-topic now... this truck is so damn comfortable, I could drive it all day long. I used to get cramps in my leg and the right side of my buttocks driving my 2016 Tacoma to and from my mountain cabin (3 hours). I did it this past weekend in my TrailBoss and it was just so easy. Plus the power!!! That crappy Ford Exploder that squatted in the passing lane on I40 doing 65 MPH didn't stand a chance when I got on the gas to aggressively pass him on the right (while giving him the stinkeye).

It surprises me that I'm not the only one! For me I find so often when I go from the throttle to the brake my foot hits the side of the brake pedal, either the offset is too great or they are too close together. I've never had this problem in any other car I've owned.

That has nothing to do with the adjustable pedals they removed. The pedals move forward and back, not closer or further apart. 

 

The reason they probably got rid of the feature is barely anyone actually used it or knew about it. Most would set it once (like myself) and never touch it again because the seat would do pretty much the same thing. I would rather the money be saved or spent somewhere else.

Actually, a lot of people do use the adjustable pedals. For various reasons... small people (men and women), pregnant women, large people.. the list goes on. It’s a safety feature that should be standard. Do you realize how many people shred their knees and worse, their chests in accidents because  they have to sit too close to the steering wheel and dash? I am glad you apparently don’t have this problem....

I agree. I have been an avid fan of GM and owned my 05 1/2 ton Silverado for 15 years. Just decided to "upgrade" to a 2021 3/4 ton GMC. I am bringing my truck in tomorrow to have them look at the pedal position. I am average height 5 - 9 with size 10 foot. I am very uncomfortable with the difference in pedal distance between the brake and the gas. Extremely uncomfortable in traffic as I have to physically move my entire foot to reposition on the brake from the gas pedal. I thought it was only the 3/4 ton but now sounds like the same problem with the 1/2 ton. I'm hoping they can do something. Otherwise I might need to look to the competition for a truck that is actually comfortable to drive. Too bad because I loved my old truck.
