    my truck is taller than me and im 6ft and its taller than most trucks i guess but when im in it i have to look up to see other trucks even when mines taller, i think its how low the bench seat is to the actual truck, anyone else notice this, or is it just me?

    the seating position is a bit lower than other trucks even though my truck has significantly more ground clearance.

    its a real truck :) thats what you want low center of gravity and highest possible ground clearance

    I think a 5 gallon bucket would be more comfortable.

    I'm 6'3", but I do slouch a bit.
    I see people complaining about the mirror position and the headroom....

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    Little bit but it's nice to look over in the next lane and see...[​IMG]

    I'm 6'2" and I've never felt like the seat was too low. The interior of this truck actually fits me really well, I keep the seat 1 click away from the back of the cab, and I've added a little center console as an armrest.

    thats true, i have a lot more ground clearance than any other of my buddies big diesels or 6" lifted trucks, it really helps in the woods.

    I'm 6'2" also and find the seat too high. The rearview mirror blocks a portion of my forward view, I have to duck below to see around it.
