might sound like a dumb question but is there any way to adjust the gas pedal more back (front of vehicle) I am a pretty big 6' 1" guy and even with the seat fully back on long trips my leg tends to cramp up due to the angle that it is in. If it is not adjustable i hope i will get used to this.
Gas pedal adjustable?

I don't think it is, and being 6'4" I can relate. What I do is set the bottom cushion to where the butt part is in its lowest position and the knee portion to the highest position. I feel it pulls my feet a little closer to the chair. Also, with size 14 shoes I have gotten used to driving with my foot sideways to the point of being nearly parallel to the floorboard. On long trips I rest my leg next to the shifter.
Went and took a look at the pedal assembly, it can't be adjusted. But if you are handy you could make your own bracket and move it back about an inch. The pedal when mashed is about an inch from the floor. One thing I am not trilled with is when I looked behind the dash I noticed that the steel is not coated and has a lot of little spots of surface rust.

It must be a Pontiac thing...I had a '72 Formula 455 Firebird. I'm 6'4" and I don't have a problem. I also drive with my foot tilted to the side and my leg up against the console.willgr1 said:

Yeah, I am 6'4" also. I drive with the seat all the way back, my foot to the side, and my knee resting on the console. I have just gotten used to it.

I'm 6'6'' and compared to the first gen X the new gen is a damn cargo van when it comes to leg room. I am so damn happy with the leg room no more looking like im dry humping the steering colum :sex: . The only thing i plan on changing is the rearview mirror blocks my view out the front window and needs to be raised about 3-4 inches
I win for biggest Mongaloid in a Asian SUV award. I am mutant and I found it alot more comfortable than its competition. I had serious issues with being able to see the road in a FJ. The 4 runner felt like i was laying down, and there was no way I could get in the series 3 Disco. Seriously, it aint that bad.

Leave your wallet in your pocket. This prevents that pesky circulation problem. Your leg will be void of feeling in a few moments.
Knee goes right, twist foot at ankle to left.

And to think, the only reason I got an automatic was because I couldn't fit my size 15 foot comfortably between the clutch pedal and the floor. My heel kept dragging on the floor. But everywhere else the X is a perfect fit.
After my Wrangler, the X felt HUGE!

X 20. I'm 6'5" and I didn't even come close to fitting in the gen 1 Xterra. In fact, that almost prevented me from even trying the new one out. But I fit in really well, and have decent legroom and great headroom with the seat all the way back and all the way down, and reclined a bit.
I took the X on its first road trip this weekend, and to prevent leg cramping, I made a lot of use of the cruise control so I could squirm around and keep semi-comfortable while driving!
