Default Leg Cramp

Does anyone else get really bad cramps in your right leg when driving for long periods of time? Ive adjusted my seat to every position I can while still being able to reach the pedals and steering wheel and it makes no difference. Ive notice that there's a bit of a hump in the floor where my heel rests and it kind of forces my leg to be in an awkward postion. Does anyone know if theres something I can do to fix this? Im a very average sized person (5'11", 155lbs, size 32 length) so I know its not that I have long or fat legs or anything.
So if anyone has any suggestions it would be much appreciated. My leg really hurts

Overall, I agree it is a very comfortable car and I use my cruise as much as I can but when Im in rush hour traffic theres not much I can do.

What pocket is your wallet in? Try taking it out or swapping sides. I know my wallet can actually cause me lower back/leg pain depending on duration and position.

Holy crap youre a genius. I do keep my wallet in my right back pocket and I never thought of that. Ill deffinately do that from now on and see if it helps.
Whats weird is that I used to have a 2000 4Runner with narrower and stiffer seats and I never had this problem, and before anyone says anything, 3rd gen 4runner seats sit at almost the same highth from the floor.

I did a RT to Miami (about 600 mi) a few weeks ago...longest so far for me in this car, and I did notice my right leg started bothering me after a couple hours as well...& no wallet in my pocket. I am 6' 2" 250, so not sure if size matters (no jokes here LOL). The car is very comfortable IMO, but after about two+ hours, I do notice something...so it's not just you
