What makes a truck look better?

[Revlis]

The only problem I have with the Japanese cars and trucks is that they are built to fit Japanese legs and arms. I have yet to find a Japanese car or truck that really fit me as well as their American counterparts. I am not talking ass width or anything I am talking Seat-pedals-stearing wheel-controls relationship. No matter what you do the seating relationship is never right, they seem designed for short legs and arms. I mean I like my Infiniti just fine but the ergonomics are still kind of lacking when compared to a BMW, Chevy or Ford.

Most American and Japanese Trucks have controls to electrically adjust the pedal height.

Um, Not really, I have seen a few in the last couple of years but none in a truck. The adjustable pedals are still a relatively new option, and while they will allow you to move the pedals closer, even when pushed all the way out they still prolly wont be properly placed for your average Non Pacific rim build.
Not saying that the Japanese imports are bad really, just that when it comes to over all ergonomics the Western countries seem to build vehicles that fit a whole lot better. Try it out and see. Go sit in an Infiniti G35, then drive up the road and sit in a Cadillac CTS. They are remarkably similar cars in mission and concept. What you'll notice right away is the seat to floor, to pedals, to controls is a alot more uh...Fitting in the Cadillac, things are where they are supposed to be and your legs are not compromised.
Just my opinion anyway, but try it out.

After doing a search, I found only larger trucks come with Power Adjustable Pedals. There isn't really in purpose in putting them in a small truck, because as you said they are built to a typical Japanese persons dimensions.

My F-150 comes with power adjustable pedals. The Dodge Ram also. The Nissan Titan has adjustable pedals in the SE and LE trim models.
