You probably can't tell by looking at the picture (and no, I don't drive like this) but I had a hard time adjusting the Silverado's seat to a comfortable driving position. Which was amazing to me considering the power-adjustability of said seat. The brake and gas pedals aren't on the same level so when I wanted to get close enough to the gas pedal I ended up too close to the brake. And consequently, when I readjusted the seat so that I wasn't on top of the brake, I was too far from the gas pedal...
Of course it wasn't until I got back to my desk and read up on our long-termer that I realized I could have adjusted the pedals since the $715 Safety Package our truck is equipped with provides power-adjustable accelerator and brake pedals. Oops. That's pretty nifty but leaves me to ask, "Who before me adjusted the pedals in such an awkward way and why?"

Are the pedals individually adjustable?
Manual transmission cars often need individual pedal adjustment even more, so I hope it comes a more common feature.

Nope. I hate to break it to you Caroline, but the pedals move together. I have the same issue with lots of recent GM vehicles. As much as I love my Avalanche this is one of the more irritating design considerations it shares with the Silverado. I can adjust the heck out of the seat, steering wheel, and pedals, and it still feels like I have to accept a compromise between which pedal I want to feel most comfortably located with.

We individually adjustable pedals guys and girls? How much longer is one of your legs over the other? Just kidding...
