Telescoping steering wheel?

One thing I do not like about my Tradesman is the lack of a telescoping wheel. When I get the seat where my legs are comfy and my feet aren't bent weird to use the pedal, my arms are almost straight out. Ram didn't do a very good job designing this for men.

Does the Bighorn 2500 have a telescoping steering wheel? Could that be retrofitted into a Tradesman?

No HD Rams have a telescoping wheel, only the 1500s have one.
 
4th gen cab doesn't have telescoping wheel, HUD, flat floor, etc.

In fact, what's really going to drive you nuts now until the end of time is me telling you
the wheel is offset from the center of the cluster.

Oh, well GM did that for years. I had a couple of GM trucks where the steering wheel was at an angle to the dash. I never knew the reason for that, but it was noticeable to the naked eye.

I hope to see an updated Ram cab before I die. I'm 47 now....it MIGHT happen....
 
Same, I’m in a 1500 now and while the old cab was plenty fine for 2009 the DT trucks have so much better ergonomics/comfort/noise etc. I’d probably have already moved to a 3/4 ton by now if they’d re designed the HD trucks the year following the 1/2 ton like normal but alas. Maybe they will have the new Canbus worked out by the time they clean sheet the HD line.
