I currently own a 2017 2500 HD Duramax Diesel LTZ. It has the peddle adjust feature which is extremely important to me since I have very long legs.  I was going to trade it in but found that the 2020 version of this truck did not include the peddle position adjust.  This was really key to my decision in purchasing and based on them not having this function, I delayed my decision hoping this feature would be in the 2021 truck.  Does anyone else feel they need to add this feature back into the truck for the next model years?

Not as long as the seat can be pushed far enough back for the legs, and the steering column can then be extended enough to suit the arm length. 

 

 

I always figure pedal adjust was more useful for those with short legs that wanted to be further from the dash.

The firewall doesn't move, and with 'non-moveable' pedals, wide open throttle is with the pedal against the firewall.

I've driven vehicles with adjustable pedals.  I don't see any need for them.  The 2020 pedal placement is right on the money for me.

I had that feature on my Dodge Ram.  In 16 years, I never used it.

Guess it's a personal preference and where you prefer to be positioned in the cab. I'm 5'10 and I never used the adjustable pedals in my old truck. 

 

I do however, hate that my fully loaded AT4 doesn't have electric tilt/telescoping steering column like on my 2018 Denali. I love the feature of the seat going all the way back and the steering wheel moving up upon entry/exit

Wondering if you test drove the new one very far? These cabs are bigger. Sorry I can't speak for adjustable pedals, but for an example. I'm not huge, but I'm 6-1 and don't have full use of my right leg after a cycle accident years a go. In my 05 crew cab, I had usually had to tilt the wheel to get in and out, even with the seat all the way back. I also had to tilt the wheel in a position that was less comfortable to cruise with, to fully see the guages. In my 20 Custom CC, I was concerned about losing power adjustments. But with a roomier cab, I have them set where I like and don't need to touch anything to get in and out. Sucked losing the airbags, though. Maybe a mod later.

I was driving down the road today thinking the same thing. I almost get my foot caught on the brake while transitioning. You can’t leave your heel on the floor and rotate anymore. I suppose I’ll get used to it but would be nice if there was an adjustment for the two pedals to be more “flush” with each other.

I missed it initially. I had a fully loaded 2017 Duramax and loved that I could adjust the pedals to where I needed them. I have short legs and long arms and like my arms stretched out when driving. So I would adjust the pedals closer to me. I noticed it right away on my new truck, and it pissed me off that they didn't include this feature, but coming up on a year now of owning it, I forgot its not there.

or get seat position to be comfy with both pedals.....one pedal is either too close or too far no matter how seat is adjusted.....there is a company called ultimate pedals but i dont think they offset the pedals as much as is needed

I have 2018 Silverado. I was going to trade it for a 2020. I had to walk away the day we were signing the documents. I won't settle for a truck without adjustable pedals. I'm 5'1. The adjustable pedals allow me keep distance between me and the steering wheel. It allows me to sit in seat and reach the seat belts. Sounds like I won't be purchasing a 2021.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks for all that information, I might purchase one and see if it will work for me, if not they may let me return it! Yes for sure the tires are definitely within limit for my truck empty, and when I do tow I'll definitely make sure to raise the rear psi for the amount of weight that's going to be on it.

      Yes exactly, more and more these days people/companies are afraid of liability issues so its easier just to say no rather than risk putting their neck on the line.    I will say with the Autel unit or when I used it last year on my truck, it wasn't like I could choose the 2025 model year or even the 2024 model year as that option was not there to manipulate the placard pressures but had to go back to 2023 or there abouts and then it showed up as an option, odd but that was how the software was then and I can't say one way or the other now as they throw out updates every so often. I still would talk to your tire dealer though to start with and they may do it for nothing but also they may have a comment on a better unit to purchase. All I know is that one of the large tire shops in my area happens to use these Autel units for their use and set them up to use the wifi and all of that jazz for constant updating because each tire tech has one handed to them by the shop but I just plugged it into my laptop to update it and yes if one is bought it has to be registered so you can get the link to do updates and then the unit has to be updated before its even used. I am not at all techy so it took me a bit but anyway just a heads up for anything you buy, most likely it will need to be connected to a computer to access the internet to have it updated to the latest software version before you can put it to use.   If your truck is near empty, those tire pressures you listed are a very safe upper range pressures to carry the weight, both the front and rear as I know they could be run lower yet with an empty truck. And if its a trailer and not some motorcycle your going to strap onto the front of your truck on a rack, you shouldn't have a need to inflate your front tires if your at 55 front already, its the rear ones that would need more air if you have much hitch weight.

      Thank you, I'll check that Autel scanner out and see if it will work for me! Ya I can see GM's point of view if they lower the psi set value for someone and the person sell's the truck and the new owner puts the factory tires back on then their could be liability issues cause the psi warning light wasn't coming on when the tires were under inflated for towing their load and then it might be able to be traced back to GM lowering it.

      I had a similar but different response when I talked to the service manager where I bought my truck in that he said GM corporate won't allow them to lower the placard pressure setting as they would get their hand slapped but that of course they have the ability to make that change. His suggestion was simply go to a tire dealer or third party shop that is willing to reset the pressures lower. However I chose to buy a tpms tool and partly based off of this very forum as it had been proven to work on the 2024 model ( Global B system ) and while I could have paid lots for a full two way diag tool, I didn't want to spend that much and bought the recommended Autel TS 508 and it will reprogram the 2025 model and assume it should do the 2026 as well. However the tool is rather proprietary to reprogramming Autel tpms sensors so that is a function I will never use, where as a real two way scanner would have many uses but also have yearly subscriptions etc where this 508 is free updates for as long as they put updates out for the unit. In any event it worked to lower the placard pressures and I often use it to adjust my actual tire pressures although will check with a mechanical gauge as well sometimes just to make sure that tires tpms sensor isn't lying to me.    My suggestion is either buy a tool that you know will work to adjust the system or start out by getting the tire shop you bought your tires from to reset your truck and if after that you still want a unit to do it yourself, get one at that point.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Here is an image of a quick Google search about these tires on my truck and it's exactly same psi recommendation the Toyo tires company gave me!    I'm not looking for anyone else recommended psi or anything, I'm just looking to see if anyone knew a way to get rid of the factory low psi warning light, because I'm not running high psi and ruining my tires when I'm not towing!
