First ever thread on Bronco6G, but a long time lurker. Picked up my Bronco Badlands with SAS about 3 weeks ago and loving it. Already took it on OHV trails twice now and the whole family has had a blast. I do have one minor issue, and couldn't find anything related doing a search.

I'm 6' 1" and find that I can't get real comfortable on longer drives because there's no way to rest my right leg while driving. Every other car i've driven I'm able to lean my leg against the center console so it's not in an upright, propped up position and it causes a lot less fatigue. Also, many cars have longer seat bottoms, or the ability to stretch-out, so to speak, the bottom cushion so that it provides better support for someone with longer legs. Not sure if I'm describing this well, but I can't imagine I'm the only one that does this and/or has this problem.

Anyway, in the Bronco I find that I have no way to rest my leg. If I pull the seat too far forward my knee cap hits the trim piece that sticks out around the air conditioning controls, which is super uncomfortable. If I move too far back I just have no where to lean my leg or rest it. I feel like a grab handle on the center console that's exactly like the one on the passenger side, but on the left (driver) side of the console would completely solve this problem.

Has anyone else encountered this issue and solved this problem?

Shouldn't the right leg be working the gas and brake? 🤷‍♂️

Not when you're cruising....

My only complaint is my Mabbett center console saddlebags, which are great, until you want to lean your leg over more...

I knew someone would say this. Yes, but because of my height and long legs, I find that my leg strains as I keep it in this very upright position. Maybe I'm a huge wuss and the only one with this issue. Time will tell.

Since you drew the conclusion, I would concur. How weak are you that you can't support the weight of your leg? Talk about skipping leg day...

this^ is the answer. It isn’t the most comfortable thing to rest your leg on, but it does work. Plus you get a little more storage 🤷‍♂️
