Is anyone else SUPER FRUSTRATED by the location of the headlight switch. Nearly every time I get in and out of my truck my Knee hits it and I turn on my headlights!!

I hope they move it somewhere else!

Haven't done that yet but now that you mentioned it I'm sure I will. I mostly find it hard to see due to its location.

Not even once. My seat is further back maybe?

Im 6'2 and I dont think Ive ever had this issue So Im not sure its strictly a tall thing. Probably just a combination of seat position and body shape.

Nope, mines on Auto and last night was the first time I bumped it. Didn't realize it until I went in the garage 10 min later and the lights were on. Guess I'll have to watch my knees and see what is bumping it.

The Chevy Colorado has the 4x4 switch in that location and I was constantly bumping it into 4WD without knowing it until I happened to glance down and wondered how long I'd been driving like that. I got a plain black 3" door cabinet handle and screwed it over the switch to protect it from my knee.

Exact same thing happened to me. But only once in the 6 months I've had it.

6'5" and never an issue. The headlight switch was in the same area on my '13 Ram and never an issue.
