Leg Room

All the tall drivers/owners of this truck, any possible ways to increase leg room? After driving 30 miles to work each day my left leg is feeling a bit cramped.. more so because I feel like I can't fully extend it as I drive the 6 speed so I have the clutch and dead pedal prohibiting full extension.

I'm 6'3 any thoughts?

 

In for the "didn't you test drive it" comments.

 

Honestly I dont have any issues after 6+hr drives and I'm 6'5"

 

Smitty is back!! Sorry OP - only 6'0 or 5'11" - so I can't really help even though I find it comfortable.

 

I see you bought a 4runner! Pics or it didn't happen.

 

Yes we have had the 4Runner since Oct 31st 2015. My wife drives it primarily.

 

Hey OP, didn't you test drive it?

 

My Buddy had this exact problem..... I moved his seat back and told him to stop driving it like his Grandmother....IE: face right up in the steering wheel....Elbows bent..!!

Not saying you drive like that, but my buddy was.... After HE got used to the different driving style, he was very happy....!!

He had his seat so far forward that I could NOT get into the truck without moving the seat back first..!!

Good luck...

 

I don't understand why OP didn't do a test drive.

 

Okay okay all didn't he test drive it jokes aside... is there a way to remove the "dead pedal" without breaking it? I feel like this would alleviate my problem.

 

I think the dead pedal is metal and part of the cab. How about sliding your foot under the clutch pedal?

 

@offthewallsurfer - is this the "dead pedal"?

Someone has removed the lump, and it was relatively easy, just couldn't find a link, if that is what you are asking.

I am 6'-4" and don't have any problems with leg room.

How many months gave you been driving?

Have you tried different seat positions?

Members have modified the seat- better than trading it in if that would work.

 

I am tall (in my family) and have no issues with being comfortable. 10+ hours driving in one day and felt great after the drive.

 

My bad assumption! It feels solid.

 

That thing can be removed in 2 minutes...!!

 

Yeah, I remember a member posting that mod.

@offthewallsurfer , maybe change the title of your thread to dead pedal removal, or ask the question in threads like "what have you done 3rd gen thread.

Someone has done this and I also remember it was not too difficult.

 

Won't work, I wear size 13 shoe.

 

I'm comfortable for the most part, just I have a clutch next to the foot rest so I can't fully extend my left leg. Iivable just trying to get a little better comfort

 

Do you have 3 pedals or two??

 

I removed mine in my Corolla, was just a piece of foam. Was attached with 2 screws. I cut and trimmed the weather techs so they would lay flat. There was a lot more room with it gone. Should be about the same process on our trucks.
