    Short story short, my wife is on the short side club and legs are pretty short :) I just got this 2021 2.5 gen Tundra and she is complaining the driver seat is not going forward enough and she can't reach the pedals easily. Is there a limiter somewhere or this is defective? I plan to take it at the dealership but if this was an easy fix I rather do it home. The driver seat control is the electronic kind and not mechanical. I also lowered the seat to the max. Thanks in advance

    Not being a wise guy or making fun, serious question:
    If you have the seat lowered all the way and all the way forward and her feet still can't reach,......
    -how small is she?
    -how is she seeing over the steering wheel, even if you can move the seat forward a few more inches?

    She is 5.1 but she can kick :) She can see over the steering wheel just fine. We did pull the steering wheel out as well to get her more comfortable. I mean her feet can reach but she said she could use another half inch or one inch forward. Appreciate the help Sir.

    Quick question, do the front seats come forward to the same level, line? Looks like the passenger one is about 2 inches more forward than the driver.

    The reason I asked is because my wife is 5' and in her car, she moves the seat all the way forward, but also raises it up.
    That's why I was surprised that you said you have it lowered all the way. Unless I read that wrong. Anyway, if my wife had to drive my truck (she refuses), she'd have to have the seat all the way forward and probably need a cushion to raise her up a bit.
    I've ways had manual seats in my Tundras, but mine goes forward quite a bit. I'm guessing the power seats might be slightly limited in their range(?)
    Does the seat seem to move forward more when it's at its lowest setting, or is it the same regardless of height?
    I don't think there's anything the dealer can do or adjust. I'm guessing the best bet is what others have suggested and just get a seat pad or padded cover that pushes her forward a bit.

    Good seat cushion that puts her up and forward. Sorry I can't offer a specific example. Purple make great seat cushions but not with a back. Good luck.

    My wife is 5’1” and has no issues driving a Tundra or Sequoia. It could be possible something is keeping the seat from going all the way forward.

    Can she adjust the lumbar support to try and push her forward? Just a shot in the dark
