    6'2", no problems unless I go over a nasty bump, sometimes hit my head on the roof.

    One thing I did that really helped visibilty is to adjust the hieght of the rear view mirror: grab the mirror and move it up toward the top of the window. Since the mirror has 2 joints, it can be pushed up towards the roof a couple inches.

    when I first got the car, I drove around with it "down" the window for a couple months until I realized it could be moved up.

    Alright, thanks for all of your advise. Looks like the best thing to do try to find a dealer that has this truck as close as possible and sit in it for myself.

    5' 11'' here and no problems

    ok...sorry, I just had to with all these "tallies" replying.

    BUt sersiously, I got in the BACK seat and had plenty o room. Granted, getting back there was a bit much, but I was INCREDIBLY impressed with the room all around. And that seems to be the first thing that people say when they get in, usually in this order:

    1) "ohh...it's nice"
    2) "wow...there's [tons] of room" ("tons" sometimes substituted for "ample", "plenty" or in the case of my friends with limited language skills "a lot"
    3) "geez! even the back seat has [tons] of room" (same story on "tons" here too)

    Im 6'3" and lost about 1.5 inches on the roof when I got my slide in sunroof installed. When I sit slightly on a lean Im about 1 inch from the roof. No complains here.

    Talking 6'6"

    Well I'm 6'6" and 245lbs, I just put the seat all the way back and then recline it just enough to where I don’t have to stretch my left arm straight out to hold the steering wheel at 12o'clock. But with the endless construction going on in the streets of Vegas, if I drive over a bump going any where near 45mph, I am sure to slam my head on the ceiling! Can’t imagine going off road! Ha-ha, But other than the bumps, or if I can anticipate the bumps, I have enough time to duck, I have no problems. I have more than enough room to do everything else. You just won't catch me trying to climb into the back seat!!

    I'm 6'4" and prefer the seat more upright. I know its a close fit because after 100,000 miles the headliner has gotten a little dirty right above my head, and thats even with the receding hairline
