Short person driver having a problem......remedy?

[tuckerrnr1]

I think there are several threads here about the music/USB issue. Something about trying to force blue tooth/cloud. It's possible one of the entertainment pucks could be used to transmit music. I have one that takes a micro SD and use it as an interface in a 2016.

Does your Tahoe have a telescoping wheel (and if so, has she tried moving it back close to the dash so she can move the seat up further)?

Hello? Any response to this?

 

[GMCnewbee]

I guess you are attempting to be funny. But I am being serious. There is some danger positioning oneself too close the steering wheel where the air bag deploys. But since you are the only one responding I guess no one else has this situation.

Yes, I was joking, not trying to be snarky. Sorry if it sounded that way.

If the Tahoe lacks a telescoping wheel, you can bet the Escalade does.
I'd not be surprised if the telescoping assembly can be made to work in the Tahoe.

I don’t know what you’re saying. I asked the OP if his Tahoe had a telescoping wheel (because I don’t know whether they may/don’t). My Denali does, and I wanted to know if his does and whether his wife has tried moving it back to allow her to get closer to the pedals without feeling too close to the wheel.

1. Should have been more precise. Should have said:
"If the Tahoe lacks a telescoping wheel, you can bet the Escalade HAS a telescoping wheel."

2. Saying, if the thread starter - or anyone else - wants to badly enough, that the Denali's / Escalade's telescoping assembly can be transplanted to the Tahoe for increased functionality.

What "GM OE adjustable pedals"??

My Denali comes with adjustable pedals. So I imagine retrofitting wouldn’t be out of the question?

I was able to add factory retractable running boards just by tapping a few wires into the BCM and replacing one of the dash switches with all OEM parts. I now have fully functional running boards

@NorthGeorgia this may be a possibility for you

My '09 Tahoe had adjustable pedals, too -- but we're talking about the '21+ models here. These models don't have adjustable pedals.

i actually didn’t know that. Kind of stupid of them to take the option away completely.

My 'short' wife is having a small problem with our just purchased 2024 Tahoe. We have had Suburban's and Tahoe in the past and so did not think there would be one now. Admittedly our previous vehicle, Expedition, had adjustable 'pedals'. Again didn't think about having a problem.

She is having to 'scoot' way up to be able to comfortably reach the gas pedal. Too close to the steering wheel. I am wondering if anyone else has had to contend with this type of situation?

I know that Amazon and other sites sell 'extensions' but they don't get positive reviews and not really sure they would work on a Tahoe setup.

I am looking for someone on the forum who has dealt with this and can give some suggestions.

I find the opposite. I like the seat all the way back but I find the steering wheel doesn’t come out quite far enough to feel comfortable. I also find the steering wheel is a little flatter than other vehicles I’ve owned which puts the top half of the steering wheel ever so slightly farther away from the driver.

Long and short: GM should do a better job on the steering wheel/pedal customization especially on the SLT/LT trims.

My F150 Lariat has better controls for this, and climate as well.
