My new Denali doesn't have adjustable foot pedals

[eyeudoc]

My 21 Denali with Baby MAX was delivered end of September and we love it. Well, I love it. My 5 foot tall wife cannot reach the foot pedals to safely drive it. When did GM do away with the adjustable pedals and why. I've had other Yukons and found it was a great feature. Now I have to sell a beautiful 5000 mile auto for a silly reason. Doesn't sound like selling will be a problem from the posts I read on here, but have to settle for smaller vehicle.

If this is such a critical feature, you didn't investigate before your purchase?

With the new generation (T1) that you bought. No way to adjust the seats and steering wheel to accommodate her? How about a low mileage 2020?

Thanks for the link. After reading it, not sure if the wife is safe running the seat up to the dash in order to reach the pedals. Will let her decide if we keep or sell. Always see great info on this forum. Keep it up.

I think this was a silly decision on GM, for me it's not a big deal, but for some it is necessary. Even my plebian spec Ram as adjustable pedels.

GM really seems to cheap out on the oddest things....

I think that Denali has steering wheel that goes in and out along with up and down which will help getting foot controls where you need them and when you do that set up drivers position either one or two and whatever you set it at will come back to that position every time, Good Luck

Chips, cost, weight, complexity of design, warranty vs. number of people who want it. The same reasons I can't find shoes to fit.

Could always use the wooden block?

Ram has adjustable pedals, but the new trucks don't have a telescoping steering wheel...and I think the consensus is that most would rather have that than the adjustable pedals...round and round we go

Well, look at it this way, if it had adjustable pedals, that could be one more module (aka chip) that isn't available, and could further delay production...My 2013 Suburban had adjustable pedals, they got set once, and never moved again...my wife is taller at 5'8, so was never an issue. She is OK in the 22 as well...but, I could see how this is a bit of a problem if you have smaller stature folks in the house. It is a bit puzzling...kind of like leaving the fog lights off the Chevy...

You too, I wear size 15's. When i shop for shoes, I usually walk in the shoe store and ask them to bring every pair of size 15's they have in stock...its usually no more than 3 pairs...I pick one and leave.

My Ram has a telescoping wheel, now some earlier Ram's do not.

Mine are even more rare to find, 13.5 in B width and with supply issues I've not found any this year.

So looks like we are both correct. The new HD Rams do not have telescoping steering(odd in this day n age) but the newer 1500's have telescoping.

For me, I would prefer to have telescoping steering over adjustable pedals, but then again I am 6'2".

yeah - should've mentioned HDs...i've always had a tradesman level trim so I've never had either one until recently I bought a 2022 3500 Bighorn and it has adjustable pedals, something I'll never use...was surprised to learn that even the limiteds don't have telescoping steering...one would think they may change that on the 2023s but who knows....even my $25k honda accord has it (it's manual but it still telescopes)
