Brake Pedal Clearance

[Saskford]

I have had my 2025 Lariat for about six weeks now and I am having a real problem with the clearance over the brake pedal. Wearing normal shoes my foot just barely fits between the pedal and the dash. Once I start wearing winter boots it will become a very dangerous situation. I have tried changing the seat position to make my foot hit the pedal in a flatter position which gives it more room and this helps sometimes but other times I will make a quick movement to the brake and it will hit the dash again. Does anyone else have a similar problem?

Shoe size?

It’s not the dash, it’s the lower duct for your hvac. Just cut it slightly.

Size 10 shoe, probably one of the most common sizes out there. I sure hate to start hacking away at a brand new truck but I will have a look at that possibility.

I noticed this too on my 25 RR. I'm going to take a look underneath and see what it's hitting. I have the same shoe size as you. I wish the brake pedal and accelerator lined up. It's odd the brake pedal is closer than the other.

It ain't called a midsize truck for nothing. Def a smaller cabin space compared to a full sizer. All the little disadvantages just come with it.

Same issue when I got my 2025 RR. It made me pretty nervous for the first month or so. I found that if I elevate my seat higher than normal it changes my foot angle to a shallower angle which makes it less of an issue. Coming from an equally sized Tacoma, the foot room at the pedals on the ranger is ridiculous. We have a Bronco and I've driven an Explorer recently and they have plenty of room.

Yeah, it takes some getting used to. It's my only gripe so far for ergonomics. Otherwise I think it's an excellent cabin.

there was a longer post about this same issue people were having a year or so ago. you can probably find it using the search so you can see what the responses were back then, also.

i know changing the seat higher was one i remember reading back then and cutting something was another reply that sticks out in my memory
