how many people in this thread actually contributed to the thread you suppose? Some are my friends, the rest I don't know.

Lets start with the picture once again

Does this look right to you YES OR NO. that's the only answer I want from you. Can you show me another vehicle manufacturer that has anything close to this?

thanks this is the type of response I expected to receive, instead of the personal attacks.

Not trying to stir the pot but if you look at the pictures the steering wheel appears to be in the same spot in perspective with the seat in both pictures. I am not expert but i assume the steering wheel should be in the center of the seat. Both pics look like the steering wheel is off center from the seat.

I am not sure on comfort but both appear the same, perhaps the interior is just screwed not the wheel.

Corey, if you go take a look at your own truck, you will find the same thing. Maybe not quite as far off-center, but it has always been this way.

I think it's worse on the trucks made in Mexico (damn Cholo's & their "lean").

In my 40/20/40 truck 2014 LT model, the center line of the steering wheel is less than 3/4" off of the centerline of the seat.

All arguments aside, in my opinion anyone can buy whatever car/truck he wants regardless of the money he has, can u daily drive a ferrari or bentley and take it offroad? Nope, thats why he bought a truck im sure he will be posting pics when its done with all the offroad goodies.

Now about the steering wheel yes there is a design flaw, was it there before yes i own an nbs and nnbs it doesn't bother me at all, i do notice it much more in the 2014 truck now we aren't saying the truck is CRAP but there are a few problems, even a ferrari and bentley have their problems too. But overall GM did a great job with the new trucks with the direct injection, comfort , interior and exterior. This problem may be addressed in the later models who knows.

Nothing wrong with complaining, i will bet u anything the same topic is on another forum all he got was people who agreed and disagreed, no bashing.

On a side note what do u guys think of the 2015 Grand Cherokee, im sure they were well paid engineers too lol

Take a die grinder slot the dash and column bolts adjust to your comfort. Just move the dash and column till it works for you.
