Gas pedal feel?

Steamguy · 04-19-2007, 05:31 PM

Okay, how do you guys feel about the gas pedal? Is it too light? OK? Too heavy?

I'm asking this because I'm starting to get tired of rolling down a rough road and getting bounced around because my foot is going up and down on the gas. I'm also getting tired of the sore leg from having to brace my foot on the carpet so I can hold a steady pressure on it for longer trips. (So I guess you know how I feel about it, huh...)

But what do you think? I'll start a poll, because I think this might be really interesting to know.

Hmmm. I'll have to say that I know exactly what you're talking about. Having said that, most of the time it doesn't bother me. There are times though that it does if it's a really bumpy road. I'm curious to see how you guys with 4WD who go for it offroad are going to reply.

So to answer the question....I'd say it's a little light.

That's my answer...
But on the road it Cruise Control all the way for me...

That was the first thing I noticed about the Titan. My 05 was that way and so is my 07. I use cruise when I can (most of the time). LOL some times when I take off I give it too much gas too quickly and eveyone inside gets whiplash. That's why you shouldn't drink anything cause you might be wearing it.
I'd say it's light as a feather, but I'm not complaining at all. It's just the way drive by wire is.............

For the Poll, I had to vote too light, though I probably come down in between too light and OK.

after the 2* timing advance it seams heavier. but before it was light, when I let my wife drive before the timing advance, she was always jerking me around.

My only complaint is that sometimes when I go to press the brake, I also press the gas. I think they could be spaced a bit farther apart. My size 17's don't help matters though either.

ChosenFew36 · 04-22-2007, 09:15 PM

good lord! size 17's?!?!?! i thought i had a huge foot at 13's hahaha... oh man, i'm sorry i'm not making fun at all but that is huuuuge! i'm impressed!

as for the pedal though- i love it... but when i get into somebody's weak rig to drive it, it feels like a sled!

I had to vote a little too light. Usually use Cruise on longer trips though.

But I am more aggravated with the "tip in" -- the first few Millimeters of pedal travel shouldn't equate to huge amounts of throttle opening. I've noticed more new cars are like this to make the vehicle seem "sporty".

I don't have any problems with it off-roading -- in the mud is usually all or nothing. Climbing hills out in Hollister (CA) it was nice too

I wish it was lighter. It is funny though that sometimes when there are bumps my foot will move a little on it. you can hear the engine change tone.. cracks me up

13.5W here.no problems with spacing.

Throttle tip-in characteristic on my 04 was more aggressive than the 07. The 07 feels more linear. That improves the rough road problem while feathering the accelerator.

EseLoco918 · 07-08-2007, 11:46 AM

It's fine by me. Never had a problem off road either.

Of course, anything is an improvement over the Internationals I drive all day.

I guess that means I need an '07 or '08 huh??

It's light, but not too light. It's light in comparison to the throttle cable cars that I am used to, but so what? And what's the big deal with it being light on the freeway? That's what cruise control is for.

My fiancee DOES give me whiplash when I drive though. I liiiiiiike it.

Mine's about right, but it may just be me. I don't have much problem with jerky acceleration over bumps in the truck. And highways are for cruise control, IMO. I use it even on a 12 mile trip to the grocery store! Now, in a 1968, Porsche, with dual carbs, you wanna talk jerkiness over bumps? Absolutely NO comparison!!!!!!
