Being that small and light, I'm assuming she is not the female equivalent of the Michelin Man, she might have problems with Tendinitis in her left foot from shifting. Make sure she wears hard soled shoes when driving.
Wife is only 5 feet tall...can she drive a truck?

I'm 5'4" and have no probs driving.

I don't know about drive, but she sure can hold the wheel till she hit something
My wife is 5'3 she can't even drive a car. Well to my standard anyway.
-
She to tall ?

Would love to see her drive an old truck with no power steering. I'm 6'4'' and sometimes backing would nearly be standing cranking on the wheel while backing. At least she would have room to stand up.
