The steering wheel is adjustable too. When I get behind the wheel after my husband I have to push in the steering wheel, move the seat forward and lower the arm rests. There are more adjustments, but I won't bore you with that. I've got you by 2 inches though, I'm a whopping 5'4.
What's too short?

A bit late here, but I went to a Peterbilt dealership and got in a 2018 579. Huge sleeper. They just got it yesterday. But, I can finally lay it to rest that I can reach the pedals! I was a bit surprised at how close the pedals are to the seat. The guy showed me all the adjustments in the chair so I'm 100% good to go. And it felt amazing sitting in it, definitely felt right

This thread reminded.me of another student I trained with last month. Dude was like 6'5 and every time I got in the seat to drive dude had the seat aired up to the max like he was 5'2 to see out the.windshield lol no offense. I'm 6'3 and I rather be short I bang my head on too many things, I'm the first to know when it rains, and too many old people ask me to reach things.on the top shelf lol
