Foot sticking
Hey guys I have only one bitch about my H3 I will probably have to get use to.
Does anyone have there foot catch under the break petal. Seems like there is a way to shift the break petal over a couple inches. I have size 10 1/2 shoes love to here from someone with larger shoe size to tell me if there having some issues. (When accelerating then stopping)
Thought for a minute to cut the right side of break petal but that seemed stupid.
I let a couple people test drive and they did seem to catch there shoe on it.

Re: Foot sticking
Im 6'2" and wear a size 12 and 80 percent of the time I have on big work boots. It happens occasionally but if you only use the bottom portion of the accelerator and find the perfect angle its not that big of an issue. Its happened with every car/truck Ive driven, even the Yukon I had before the H3. Also slide the seat back as far as you can and still reach everything, for me its all the way back. That helped me out tremendously too. Its makes it hard as hell to get anyone in the back, but thats not my problem I dont ride in the back of my truck.

Speaking of greek, that statement of yours usually means:
"the pleasure's all mine ladies"

Re: Foot sticking
You know that plastic part of he floormat right beside the gas pedal..?? Push it and see if it goes in any.. If it does get some doublesided tape and stick under it to hold it back against the tunnel..
The one I test drove way back when was perfect, I got in mine and started to drive off the lot and nearly took out a new H1 Alpha when I coldn't get off the gas and onto the brakes.. Dealer fixed it PDQ..

Re: Foot sticking
Cool guys, will check that area around the gas petal to see if it can be pushed back.

Re: Foot sticking
OK, so I had bought two of the "first batch" of H3's that were released.
One of the truck had ample room between the gas and brake. The other one was mounted clower together. N idea what hapened there.
I did push back the padded carpet to the RH side of the gas. I ended up using double sided carpet tape from Home Depot. Worked great.

Tim,
Just back from lunch and looked at the pad you are talking about it must be out about an inch or more. No wonder my foot keeps catching thanks for the Help to all. Didn't figure I would get that much feedback  |

Re: Foot sticking
I have the mud floor mats and my heal catches on the ridges of the floor mat a couple of times every time I drive it. Doesn't matter what type of shoe or how I position my foot. It's pretty annoying, but I guess not enough for me to do something about it.
