One Pedal Foot Exhaustion

[BourboNole]

I love one pedal driving and would never use a setting other than high, but what I would like to see is using one of the cruise control buttons as a 'neutral' like a clutch when ACC isn't engaged. It's annoying having to either set ACC or have the truck buck when I just want to quickly shift my foot on the pedal. This could also let you stretch your foot if its tired or achieve a coast without changing the regen settings.

Counterpoint: this truck has the best dead pedal of any vehicle I've ever driven because my legs are 4' long.

Nice. I bet that feels like a good change for you.

I’m considering Velcroing a 4” piece of wood to mine. My leg distance is fine for the throttle, but fully extended my left foot is touching the dead pedal with just my toe section - not the tips, just the bottom side of my toes. It’s uh, not restful.

All my Japanese cars over the last two decades have the dead pedal foot rest closer to the driver than the accelerator pedal. Rivian is the opposite.

I've found using sport mode reduces the need to feather the accelerator and also reduces required braking. But the geniuses at Ford can't quite figure out how to get the mode to stick so it resets to off every time you start the truck. This forces you to peck at the screen several times into and out of menus to make the change. Dangerous and beyond annoying.

Are you posting in the wrong forum?

Just Kim Jong it and wear an elevator shoe on your left foot.

Does anyone else miss the occasional need to take your foot off the accelerator without going into a braking nose dive?

I get the need to regenerate but having to constantly feather the pedal to adjust for traffic (without driver+) leaves me occasionally missing that feeling of coasting.

Would be nice to have a lite/no option for regen.

Guessing this is a side effect from not getting to use your ankle at full extension periodically. Move somewhere you can put the pedal to the metal.

Alternatively, find a step somewhere and do some heel raises.

Hit the gym?

Don't skip leg day

Forgot about that part.

Once traffic aware cruise control works well its best use is in stop and go traffic. If I commuted to work every day in traffic having TACC would be my #1 priority when choosing a vehicle.

Oh give me a break…nobody knows anything about traffic until you drive 90 miles a day in LA. ?

Aww that’s cute.
Now try two years in Tokyo, Japan with a 5speed manual. ?
After doing that, go do another 6 in the Washington, DC area..

seriously, I think the only place that may really be worse than Tokyo traffic is Beijing.

Sounds like the collective wisdom is let ACC do the work while I distract myself with a movie and trust the robot overloads to keep me safe (satire)

Honestly one pedal driving is fine. I just find myself occasionally wanting to flex or adjust my footing. Must remember to engage ACC first.

I'd recommend setting ACC to 30 while disembarking the Wenatchee.
All kidding aside, I don't drive downtown often. I would think one peddle would be easier especially the the hold at lights on hills. Or regen down the hills without having to use foot on brake.

The Wenatchee is an unreliable bucket that seems to spend most of its time at the repair dock. Today it was the Spokane. It was quaint.

Oh yeah, like this one in China: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_National_Highway_110_traffic_jam

LOL, now that's a traffic jam.
