I've been driving my BigHorn a little while now, and I'm finding that I want someplace to put my left foot. It won't reach all the way to the dash floor and gets uncomfortable/crampy after awhile resting on the heel while having to hold the toe up. I need something like a dummy pedal or a raised area on the floor to plant my left foot. Does anyone make such a thing?

Genuinely asking because I can't remember at the moment but is there not a left foot rest all the way to the left of the floor? My 11 maxima and 99 civic both have that.

I believe I saw a thread on here sometime ago where someone made a dead pedal. If you search I bet it won't take long to find

Some people like dead pedals and some don't. I happen to like them. I think the best solution is a removable dead pedal like some other cars have. 3rd gen Honda Preludes had dead pedals which could be removed with a single bolt. I haven't seen anything for 5th gen Ram 1500's though.

Can’t say I ever had that problem. My left foot normally rest flat in front of the seat like I’m sitting in a chair. Occasionally stretch up towards the firewall on longer rides.
