By Jill Ciminillo Published: 2020-07-10T19:25:27+00:00 Updated: 2025-07-23T15:18:42+00:00 ![Featured image]() As someone on the short side of the spectrum, I’ve come to appreciate all the fine-tuning you can do to the driver’s position these days. With everything from adjustable seat bottoms to tilt-and-telescoping steering wheels, automakers are able to make vehicles suitable for a wider range of drivers. But you know what I’d *really*like to see on more vehicles? Adjustable pedals. Especially on pickup trucks. Most especially on pickup trucks in households with taller and smaller drivers. I mean, just because you’ve managed to get the seat adjusted so your feet comfortably reach the pedals, it doesn’t mean you’re a safe distance from the steering wheel – and vice versa. ![2020 F-150 XLT has adjustable pedals]() The 2020 Ford F-150 is one of the only full-size trucks that offers adjustable pedals starting at the XLT trim. (Image courtesy of Ford Motor Co.) The only true way to customize your driving position is to be able to move the pedals as well. Unfortunately, the list of pickup trucks that offer adjustable pedals is small — and dwindling. For 2020, you’ll only find them on the following trucks: - Ford F-150 and (available at XLT trims and above) - [Ford Super Duty]() (available at XLT trims and above) - [Ram 1500 Rebel]() (available with Level 1 or Level 2 Equipment Group) - Ram 2500/3500 Laramie & Power Wagon (available with Level 1 or Level 2 Equipment Group) It should be noted, however, that just because this feature is *available* on a particular truck or trim doesn’t mean they come standard – they’re usually tucked into a package of some sort. It’s also worth noting there isn’t a single midsize truck that offers – or ever offered – this feature. ![2020 Ram Power Wagon Crew Cab]() 2020 Ram Power Wagon is one of the few Heavy Duty pickup trucks to offer adjustable pedals.

So why do some offer them and some don’t? According to [Ram Trucks](), the company line on why the pedal option is offered is all about luxury. “Ram 1500 customers value the ride comfort and luxury we offer through a combination of class-leading coil or air suspension systems,” a company spokesperson said. “Features like the adjustable pedals offer a little bit more luxury across multiple trim levels and are part of an overall approach to customer comfort.” In contrast, a representative from Nissan said the decision to remove the pedal option on Titan was based on consumer research that favored a telescoping steering wheel over adjustable pedals. ![2020 Ram Rebel]() The 2020 Ram Rebel is the only 1500 model with adjustable pedals. (Photo by Jill Ciminillo) “Research showed that telescopic steering was able to ergonomically support equal or better than adjustable pedals for a wider range of occupants,” he said. Me? I say: Why not both? ### **The bottom line on adjustable pedals** At 5 feet tall, I’m what they call “the fifth percentile female,” which happens to be the lowest common denominator most automakers design for. But just because I can drive something doesn’t mean it’s comfortable. Without the pedal option in a truck, I often end up with my leg [trapped between the seat bottom and the underbelly of the dash]() because of the far-forward, height adjusted driving position. This is nothing a telescoping steering wheel will fix. So, I’ve found the highest comfort level comes from having both telescoping steering wheel *and*adjustable pedals. I know a lot of people have been asking about trucks with this feature, so I’d be curious to hear why you want them (or don’t) – especially since I have to assume pretty much nobody reading this is also 5 feet tall. **Related posts:** > [IIHS study shows women are up to 73% more likely to be injured in crashes]() > [Adjustable pedals in SUVs: 2021 Ford, Lincoln models are the last men standing]() ## Structured page information ~~~json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": "Article", "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2020/07/which-pickup-trucks-have-adjustable-pedals/#article", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2020/07/which-pickup-trucks-have-adjustable-pedals/" }, "author": { "name": "Jill Ciminillo", "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/#/schema/person/17a307b2bd8654a0efc57d38f2e79df8" }, "headline": "Which pickup trucks have adjustable pedals?", "datePublished": "2020-07-10T19:25:27+00:00", "dateModified": "2025-07-23T15:18:42+00:00", "mainEntityOfPage": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2020/07/which-pickup-trucks-have-adjustable-pedals/" }, "wordCount": 655, "commentCount": 40, "publisher": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/#organization" }, "image": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2020/07/which-pickup-trucks-have-adjustable-pedals/#primaryimage" }, "thumbnailUrl": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/2020-Ram-Heavy-Duty-Adjustable-Pedals.jpg", "keywords": [ "adjustable pedals", "ford f-150", "ford super duty", "power adjustable pedals", "ram 2500", "ram 3500", "ram power wagon", "ram rebel", "trucks with adjustable pedals" ], "articleSection": [ "News" ], "inLanguage": "en-US", "potentialAction": [ { "@type": "CommentAction", "name": "Comment", "target": [ "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2020/07/which-pickup-trucks-have-adjustable-pedals/#respond" ] } ] }, { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2020/07/which-pickup-trucks-have-adjustable-pedals/", "url": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2020/07/which-pickup-trucks-have-adjustable-pedals/", "name": "Which pickup trucks have adjustable pedals?", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/#website" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2020/07/which-pickup-trucks-have-adjustable-pedals/#primaryimage" }, "image": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2020/07/which-pickup-trucks-have-adjustable-pedals/#primaryimage" }, "thumbnailUrl": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/2020-Ram-Heavy-Duty-Adjustable-Pedals.jpg", "datePublished": "2020-07-10T19:25:27+00:00", "dateModified": "2025-07-23T15:18:42+00:00", "description": "If you are looking for a truly customized driving position, you might want adjustable pedals.
