My wife is 5' tall and can't drive a Polaris Ranger comfortably because it's tough for her to reach the pedals (her feet don't reach the floor). I see that the new 900's feature an adjustable seat, but it's out of my price range to buy brand new right now. We hunt in the hill country where it's rocky and hilly, so I'm not sure that golf cart is the best option, though I know that she likes and can drive them. Any suggestions or experiences?

Has she been in a Yamaha Rhino? Don't know that it is any closer from seat to peddle but might be. I love my Rhino and my wife is not much taller than your wife.

The Mule pedal is fairly close IIRC.

Well at 6'3" none of them are particularly roomy for me. Golf cart is the most comfortable in my opinion.

My wife is also only 5' tall and had trouble reaching the pedals. Bought a throw cushion for a boat that she now uses behind her back and works well for her. She drives the polaris everywhere now.

My aunti is around 5'1 or 5'2 and drives the mules no problem
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

Kids had trouble reaching bike pedals so I cut 2x4s as pedal extensions. Would be a cheap fix for your situation.
