Brake pedal height adjustable?

I have had my first SUV for almost 1 month. I noticed that the brake pedal is too high comparing to accelerate pedal and making heel-toe very difficult. This position gives me in feet and knee. I've tried to adjust seat position many times to make myself comfortable, but I failed in the end. Is there any solution for this?

I feel the same way, the differential between the brake pedal height and the gas pedal height is too much.

I do not think there is a way to adjust.

Question, why would you want to heel toe shift in an automatic? You're missing a crucial piece...a clutch pedal!

Kiwi123,

Heel and Toe driving technique is when you use your right foot to control the gas and brake at the same time while your left foot operates the clutch in a manual transmission car.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heel_and_toe

I think what you are referring to is keeping the heel of your right foot planted on the floor and operating the gas and brake by moving your toes from one to the other. I'm not sure there is a name for that.

Bottom line, I'm not aware of any way to adjust the pedals. Sorry.
